After Marvel skipped the convention last year due to the Hollywood strikes, which prevented writers and actors from speaking on panels, anticipation for its session in Comic-Con’s famed Hall H is palpable among fans.
The studio is expected to announce news teasing their upcoming titles in its “Phase 5” plan and beyond, with Marvel President Kevin Feige as the only confirmed speaker. He will be joined by several special guests, who may include stars of upcoming Marvel titles like “Captain America: Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts*” and “The Fantastic Four.” Fans are speculating that Marvel will confirm cast members and show clips or trailers for upcoming films and Disney+ series.
Marvel already took over Hall H on Thursday with an electric panel celebrating “ Deadpool & Wolverine ,” in which the audience was treated to a full screening and surprise guests joining stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on stage. The mounting enthusiasm for the film at Comic-Con was reflected across the country as the fans rushed to see it in theaters, securing the film as the new record holder for the T.
