As we’re a few months away from Comic Con, we’ve had a lot of SDCC announcements, have you checked out the open commission list? Do you think you can take me to a bad idea party? Is the place about 30 minutes from the convention center?
That’s not all good news as Hollywood Reporter defeats the newsletter and Marvel Studios doesn’t have a Saturday night Hall H panel.
From the Thr Heat Vision Post on May 30th:
Test screenings aside, the Fantastic Four will open on Friday at San Diego Comic-Con. This year, Marvel doesn’t have Saturday Evening Hall H panels that break tradition and crush the infamous sense.
With Avengers:Doomsday pushed out in December 2026, Marvel has another SDCC before the film’s theatrical release. The cast of Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production and didn’t feel like the right timing for the Hall H panel. At least that was the company’s way of thinking.
Marvel still has a big presence at SDCC this year, with numerous panels on comics, games and more. Sources are telling Heat Vision that it will be a massive footprint for the San Diego Convention Center and will have a completely redesigned, immersive booth that will lean towards the release of the Fantastic Four.
And there may be some surprises as well.
San Diego Comic-Con attendees will see lots of wonders on the floor, but on Saturdays it may feel a little more crowded than usual.
This is not the first time Marvel has made this decision.
It’s not the first time Marvel has skipped Hall H for timing (Marvel works with GO BIG or HOME HOME ETHOS). In 2011, the company focused on filming the Avengers. In 2015, there was no footage to share. In 2018, there were several films that enveloped the production, but it wasn’t new to release.
So, what do Marvel fans look forward to? Well, this hasn’t been confirmed, but Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez mentioned in an interview recently
“I’ve heard (he’s) heard that Marvel is coming back to SDCC, but I don’t expect it to be a spectacular sight that would normally make the obvious phase obvious. I think the main focus of Marvel at SDCC is to promote the new film, Fantastic Four: The First Step.”
I also hope to see even more initial look at Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 and VisionQuest, and perhaps even Avengers: Doomsday. They also have this additional animation panel that will do the day before they appear in Hall H. I hope Wakanda, Marvel Zombies and X-Men ’97 S2 will see some of them. Spider-Man: Brand New Day could be an outlier that we’re still not sure about what it looks like, but it has to work with Sony.
Apart from that, I haven’t actually seen them go ahead and talk about things for the next story. Because they want to focus on phase 6.
So, there seems to be a lot to look forward to, but this year is merely a victim of timing and production schedules. The SDCC unofficial blog closed last year’s article explaining the situation by citing Kevin Feige
“We often build a film schedule… literally design a film schedule for what we were ready to showcase at Comic-Con.” However, due to a shift in release date, timing may not work here. The good news is that SDCC 2026 will occur before the release of the Apocalypse. Therefore, it seems likely that the Big Marvel Hall H Saturday Night Panel will be acquired again.
