Marvel Studios Returning to San Diego Comic-Con

Attachment 53979

DEADLINE reports that for the first time in three years, Marvel Studios will be returning to San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H, with expected special announcements for the audience to come. The studio’s President Kevin Feige broke the news during a virtual press conference for its upcoming feature, Thor: Love and Thunder, from director Taika Waititi.

“Yeah, we’ll be at Comic-Con next month, which we’re excited about,” said Feige. “The first time since we were on stage there [since] three years ago talking about this movie and many others. And now, I think almost everything we discussed three years ago has now been released. So yes, we’re excited to go and talk about the future.”

Marvel last stopped by the San Diego Convention Center in July of 2019, after electing to sit out both the Comic-Con@Home events put on virtually in July of 2020 and 2021, and last year’s stripped-back November confab.

The projects Marvel will tout at Comic-Con 2022 have not yet been disclosed. But its upcoming releases on the film side include Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (November 11), Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (February 17, 2023), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (May 5, 2023), The Marvels (July 28, 2023) and Mahershala Ali starrer Blade. Upcoming TV projects include the animated I Am Groot (August 10), She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (August 17), The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Echo, Secret Invasion, Agatha: House of Darkness, Armor Wars, Ironheart and X-Men ’97.

While Marvel Studios hasn’t appeared at the last three iterations of SDCC, their past appearances have come to much fanfare, and have often included various announcements, as well as surprise appearances by MCU cast members.

San Diego Comic-Con is taking place this year from July 21-24. Thor: Love and Thunder, meanwhile, is slated for release on July 8.
