D23 Expo 2022 has a lot for fans to be excited about, with the expo's schedule featuring back-to-back panels over its three days. The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is packed to the brim with announcements and celebrations and will feature panels covering all kinds of Disney goodness, such as the MCU, Star Wars, Pixar, and more. So, here is a complete schedule of every confirmed movie and TV show panel at D23 Expo 2022.
Starting in 2009, D23 Expo has acted as Disney's version of Comic-Con, with the expo being more akin to a massive fan celebration rather than a series of press conferences. Since its creation, D23 Expo took place biennially until Disney sadly delayed D23 Expo 2021 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Disney is finally back with D23 Expo 2022, and the company is gearing up to have more announcements than ever.
While D23 Expo does feature a variety of events, such as concerts, cosplay contests, and more, the vast majority of D23 Expo is dedicated to new announcements. D23 Expo 2022 has over 60 panels across its three-day run, meaning that a lot of massive news will surely be dropped. The daily studio showcases will be the biggest panels by far, but D23 Expo's other panels are sure to feature all kinds of smaller announcements and goodies. Here is a list of every panel that D23 Expo viewers and attendees can look forward to.
Disney
Disney has a lot to show off at D23 Expo 2022, having the most panels by far. D23 Expo's main panel focuses on Disney and Pixar on day 1, with tons of other panels highlighting smaller franchises and projects. Expect news on upcoming Disney+ shows like Zootopia+, first looks at new movies like Pixar's Elemental, updates on projects by Disney's other smaller studios, and more.

However, there are still a lot of things that weren't featured at Comic-Con, such as Armor Wars, The Blade, Shang-Chi 2, Eternals 2, and more. Marvel will be featured in day 2's Studio Showcase, meaning that some big news could be coming out during that presentation.

Lucasfilm
Lucasfilm may only be featured in one panel at D23 2022, but that doesn't mean they don't have much to show. Upcoming Star Wars projects like Andor and The Mandalorian season 3 are in the works, and the studio could always announce new projects in the franchise. On top of that, Lucasfilms is also working on Indiana Jones 5, meaning there is always the possibility of new news on that film.
Saturday, September 10. 10:00 am, Hall D23 - Studio Showcase, Day 2: Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Studios
National Geographic
While many overlook it, National Geographic is one of Disney's oldest and most popular brands. The company has been around for over 130 years and is one of the headliners on Disney+. National Geographic has more panels scheduled than either Lucasfilm or Marvel, meaning that they probably have a lot to show off at D23 Expo 2022.
