Los Angeles, June 25 - Marvel Studios will be returning to San Diego Comic-Con after 3 years. Marvel president Kevin Feige confirmed the development during a virtual press conference on Friday for the upcoming
Thor: Love and Thunder.
San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) is scheduled to take place in July this year and the announcement of Marvel's presence has come out as a major boost for the event. SDCC canceled its in-person conventions in July 2020 and July 2021 due to the COVID pandemic.
Although a pared-down Comic-Con did take place at the San Diego Convention Center over Thanksgiving weekend in 2021, Marvel did not hold any panels during the event nor did it participate in the virtual Comic-Con@Home events that replaced the July 2020 and 2021 conventions.
Marvel panel has always been the center attraction at SDCC as people have been keen to know what Marvel has in its store for the future. Even though Kevin Feige and Disney have not clarified Marvel's exact plans for this year's SDCC, the studio is expected to make a plethora of announcements and may give a glimpse of where MCU's future is heading, especially as Phase 4 has been quite diverse in its offerings.
According to Variety, the upcoming films and shows set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that could be teased during the convention include this November's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever", next year's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania", "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and "The Marvels", and undated projects such as "Blade" starring Mahershala Ali along with Disney+ shows.
The SDCC event will take place from July 21 to July 24 at the San Diego Convention Center.
