In the film, Mars returns to her hometown of Neptune, California, to meet up with her old pals for their high school reunion and solve another mystery.
"I can tell you it sorta has a Godfather III theme to it, which seems odd," said Thomas. "Why not pick Godfather II? It was a better movie."
Bell did reveal her first line of dialogue from the first day of shooting: "Charming drink names! I can't decide between a Beast with Two Backs or a Donkey Punch. Oh, do you think they'd let me order a virgin Devirginator?"
Bell said her first day back on set was with co-star Jason Dohring.
"We just kept staring at each other," she told the crowd. "'Are we really here? Is this The Twilight Zone?'"
Veronica Mars co-stars Dohring, Francis Capra, Enrico Colantoni, Percy Daggs III, Ryan Hansen, Tina Majorino and Chris Lowell joined Bell on a panel inside the San Diego Convention Center.
Lowell, who plays divisive love interest Stosh "Piz" Piznarski, came on stage to cheers wearing a "Team Logan" T-shirt, while Logan Echolls actor Dohring was clad in a "Team Piz" shirt. Hansen, who played outspoken playboy Dick Casablancas, later ripped off his top to reveal a "Team Dick" T-shirt underneath.
Thomas said two more days of filming remain for the movie, set for release in theaters early next year.
