It’s Comic-Con time.
About 130,000 people are expected at the four-day comics, movies and popular arts convention in downtown San Diego this year. Some of Hollywood’s most important directors and biggest names will be among them.
The convention doesn't officially start until Thursday, but preview events begin at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

In the past two weeks, Steven Spielberg announced that he'd make his first Comic-Con appearance, and Paramount said that it would open "Captain America" for the convention.
