Academy Award-winning filmmaker Brad Bird is heading to San Diego Comic-Con to reflect on one of animation’s most celebrated careers — and offer fans a look at what’s next, as announced by Collider.

As part of Collider’s annual “Directors on Directing” panel series, Bird will take the stage for “Brad Bird: My Cinematic Journey,” a career-spanning conversation covering everything from The Iron Giant and The Incredibles to Ratatouille and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.

The discussion, moderated by Collider Editor-in-Chief Steven Weintraub, will also feature an exclusive preview of Bird’s long-awaited animated feature Ray Gunn. The filmmaker is expected to share new details about the Netflix and Skydance Animation film, which has been a passion project for decades. Set in an alternate 1939 where humans and aliens coexist, Ray Gunn follows the last human private detective, Raymond Gunn (voiced by Sam Rockwell), as he investigates a murder mystery that draws him into the orbit of multimedia star Venus Nova (Scarlett Johansson). The film is currently slated to debut on Netflix on December 18.
