After missing last year's San Diego Comic-Con festivities, the hit BBC series Doctor Who will make its triumphant return to the convention events in 2015! This also means that season 9 star Peter Capaldi will make his own debut at the SDCC panels and the like, which the actor has recently shared his excitement over in a new press release. While we might be excited for the new Doctor to show up at the event, Capaldi is "thrilled" to get to take part in the experience this year! Read more on this news below!

Alongside Capaldi at the convention events and panels will be Jenna Coleman (Clara), Michelle Gomez (Missy), lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat and executive producer Brian Minchin (via IGN).

Considering these stars will be taking part in panel discussions and Q&As, we're sure that Doctor Who fans will be in the masses this year. We'll find out plenty of details on the upcoming season 9 episodes ... or perhaps we'll fall into the secrecy trap that Moffat is infamous for! Either way, Capaldi is just as excited as we are for this event.

"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," the actor portraying the 12^th regeneration of the Doctor said in regards to his Comic-Con debut, according to BBC (via UPROXX). "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."
