The Penguin fan experience at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday was evacuated after a fire reportedly broke out in the event’s building.
In videos taken by The Hollywood Reporter staff members, a large crowd of people could be seen leaving the Bloom Nightclub, where the event was taking place, and gathering outside on the street. Several firetrucks and law enforcement officials were also seen in the area.
The multi-level installation celebrated HBO’s upcoming series, The Penguin, starring Colin Farrell. The fan experience recreates Gotham’s famed Iceberg Lounge from the 2022 film The Batman and the upcoming show.
The evacuation comes less than 24 hours before HBO’s splashy Hall H panel touting the show, a spin-off of The Batman.
No injuries or additional information surrounding the fire has been released at this point.
THR has reached out to HBO for comment.
More to come.
