The panel for the horror-thriller "Teacup," with producers James Wan and Ian McCulloch and stars like Yvonne Strahovski, will take place on July 25. Later that day, there will be a behind-the-scenes look at the gladiator epic "Those About to Die" featuring Roland Emmerich and key cast members. The chariot race experience will be a highlight, open from July 25 to 28, allowing visitors to dive into Ancient Rome's spectacle. The Olympics' Opening Ceremony will be livestreamed on July 26, blending ancient sports with modern traditions.

Attendees can immerse themselves in Ancient Rome at the "Those About to Die: The Chariot Race" activation.
