Last week The Mortal Instruments San Diego Comic-Con panel was announced and fan favorite Godfrey Gao was not on the list.

Just a few days before the panel announcement, fans had started a Twitter campaign to get Godfrey to Comic-Con, so when the panel was announced, they were disappointed that he wasn’t included. But as of this morning that has all changed.

Cassandra Clare posted this on her Tumblr:

I have great news! Godfrey Gao is now joining the panel for THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES at Comic-Con! See the full list of panelists below:
– Me
– Lily Collins
– Jamie Campbell-Bower
– Robbie Sheehan
– Kevin Zegers
– Harald Zwart
– Godfrey Gao

Godfrey will of course bring untold handsomeness to the panel. I hope to see you all there to enjoy it, and if not, that’s what gifsets are for.

Gao plays Mangus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn. His character is rather mysterious and holds the secret to Clary’s past. The only glimpse fans have had of Gao is from the early on set report from MTV other than that there was only a glimpse of him in the trailers.

The Mortal Instruments Comic-Con panel is in on Friday afternoon in Hall H. We will be bringing you all the latest news from Comic Con so be sure to check back.
