We have been given permission to talk about it at San Diego Comic Con<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Dochterman added “If it is going to happen within the next couple of months, we would definitely have a big announcement by the actual 40th-anniversary date [December 6].”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
