Marvel Studios PresidentKevin Feigeconfirmed earlier today that Marvel will be heading to San Diego Comic-Con this year for the first time since 2019. It was also confirmed that the panel for Disney’s film and television powerhouse universe will be held in the coveted Hall H on Saturday night on July 23 and will include a big announcement at the event.
The confirmation of the MCU’s presence at the SDCC was made during the press conference for the upcomingThor: Love & Thunder. During the event, Feige said:
“We’ll be at Comic-Con next month, which we’re excited about. First time since we were on stage there three years ago talking about this movie and many others. And now, I think, almost, not everything but almost everything we discussed three years ago, that was released, so we are excited to go and talk about the future.”
The last time the Marvel Studios was on stage in Hall H at SDCC was in 2019 where they revealed their full Phase Four slate of content, which included Disney+ series’Falcon and the Winter Soldier,Loki,WandaVision,Hawkeye,andWhat If…?as well as several films likeBlack Widow,Eternals,Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the aforementionedThor: Love & Thunder. As Fiege said in his statement, by the time SDCC comes around, all of these Phase Four projects will have been released, so this upcoming return to the stage will be a chance to show off the next steps of the MCU, whether that be for something we already know about likeAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, orShe-Hulk: Attorney at Lawor if they intend to launch new Phase 5 plans, we will have to wait and see.
