"Tales of San Diego Comic-Con are told in awe on every set around the known fantasy/sci-fi production world. It's become a fabled kingdom. One I am thrilled to find myself heading for. And to appear in the legendary Hall H, is a further twist to the cosplay and comic madness I may never recover from," Capaldi told the press.
Moffat previously confirmed that Doctor Who will continue to run through the year 2020, which means fans will get to see more of the Doctor for at least another five years.
As for the current, and soon to premiere Season 9, it has been reported that it will open with a two-part arc in episodes "The Magician's Apprentice" and "The Witch's Familiar."
To reiterate, "Doctor Who" will return this fall on BBC America. The said panel event, on the other hand, will take place in Hall H on Thursday, July 9.
