Australian stars Hugh Jackman, Yvonne Strahovski and Chris Hemsworth are among the Hollywood A-listers appearing at the annual San Diego Comic-Con this weekend.
The 41-year-old actress is a Comic-Con veteran, having attended in previous years to help promote other projects, including her breakthrough roles in the US dramasAlmost 200,000 people will push through the turnstiles over the four-day weekend, and tens of thousands more will come to San Diego’s Gaslamp district, where studios, networks and production companies have taken over restaurants, bars and exhibition spaces.
As the convention kicked off, the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA called a strike against major video game publishers. The union and the game publishers have been negotiating for more than a year, but talks have stalled on the thorny topic of the use of artificial intelligence in games.
