Metallica will attend Comic-Con to promote its new feature film, Metallica Through the Never, which combines 3D footage of live performances with a narrative story featuring Dane DeHaan as a young roadie sent on an urgent mission during Metallica’s roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena.
On Friday, July 19 at 6:30 p.m., all four members of Metallica — James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo — will be present at a Hall H panel to discuss the upcoming film alongside DeHaan and writer-director Nimrod Antal.
