This event pairs a screening of the 2025 movie "Fantastic Four: First Steps" and a discussion with the science advisor who worked on the movie. Believe it or not, there’s some real science in superhero movies. When telling a story about super-powered humans on an alternate Earth, the team behind Fantastic Four: First Steps consulted physics professor Clifford Johnson. He’ll share insights about how his expertise helped shape the design and plot of the movie. How might teleportation and faster than light travel work? Can you surf a neutron star? Real-world physics is on-screen in every equation Reed Richards scribbles on a chalkboard and we’ll explore the mix of science and imagination, and discuss why it’s an important balance.
Comic-Con Museum
Comic-Con International (Comic-Con), a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is opening the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego’s Balboa Park. This new cultural attraction will encourage an appreciation of comics and related popular arts through exhibitions, performances, educational programs, and outreach efforts. The Comic-Con Museum will be a year-round operation, manifesting the same values of accessibility, curiosity and appreciation that have driven the organization’s world-famous conventions. Through exhibits that refresh frequently and consistently, and programs that offer opportunities to learn, experience, and participate, the Museum will continue to build awareness and appreciation for the valuable contribution of popular culture. The Museum will be visitor-focused, whether a Comic-Con fan or a member of the general public and will provide engrossing experiences that engage curiosity and inspire learning.
