It Looks Like Marvel Studios Is Ditching Comic-Con This Year — GeekTyrant
There are dueling reports regarding what Marvel's plans are for Comic-Con this year. Heat Vision is saying, 'Marvel will break with tradition and not have its infamous, senses-shattering Saturday evening Hall H panel.' This seems crazy to me because they have so much going one right now and they'd have plenty of stuff to announce and show off. But they say, 'it didn't feel like the right [time].' It's explained that the 'company is still planing panels and events focused on its comics and games, as well as a booth that will play off of the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps , which opens in theaters on the Friday of the annual fan convention.' Before that news hit, another report from Alex Perez at The Cosmic Circus, who is pretty reliable, said Marvel Studios was planning to drop the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday at SDCC 2025. So, I guess he didn't get that one right. Avengers: Doomsday is the next massive team-up event from the MCU and fans could get their first look at the movie during the the event's run from July 24–27. While nothing is confirmed, the idea isn't far-fetched. In a response to a fan question, Perez shared: 'I have heard Marvel will return for SDCC, but I don't expect them to make it a grand spectacle like they normally do with Phase reveals. I think that the main focus for Marvel at SDCC will be to promote their new film, Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which coincidentally drops around the same time as SDCC this year. 'I'd also expect looks at Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again season 2, and VisionQuest, and an additional first look, possibly maybe even a teaser of Avengers: Doomsday.' So, the focus may not be a full-blown Phase 6 rollout, but there's a good chance Doomsday sneaks in with a first look, especially since it's already been filming since April. Marvel has a history of previewing early footage for the Comic-Con crowd before the rest of us get to see it. The film, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who are returning after their high-stakes run with Infinity War and Endgame, is already in production and scheduled to hit theaters December 18, 2026. I was hoping that Marvel would show up to SDCC this year, they always tend to give fans a thrilling mic-drop moment. It would've been wild to see them bring out the entire cast for Doomsday, including all of the unannounced cast members! That would be insane! But, it's not looking like it's going to happen. Bummer. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars follows one year later on December 17, 2027.

Marvel Studios Hall H Status Revealed for 2025 San Diego Comic-Con
Marvel Studios' status for the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con has been revealed, as has their plans for their legendary Hall H panels. According to a new report from THR's Heat Vision newsletter, Marvel will not be hosting a panel at Hall H this year at San Diego Comic-Con. With The Fantastic Four: First Steps set to release on the Friday of SDCC and Avengers: Doomsday now releasing closer to the end of 2026, Marvel seems to be taking a one-year break from their infamous panels. THR's reporting notes that the thinking within the company is that, with multiple films in production and set to release so close to the event, it didn't feel like the right time to have a panel. That doesn't mean they won't be at conventions, though. Marvel will be at this weekend's CCXP Mexico, and will still have a massive presence at SDCC, with panels focused on comics, games, and more still planned. Although Marvel Studios is usually a mainstay at SDCC, they have missed the show a handful of times. In 2011, the company sat out of a Hall H panel with The Avengers in production. 2015 and 2018 also marked years the studio stayed home, and then in 2020, 2021, and 2023, the company was away from the convention due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood strikes, respectively. Last year, Marvel Studios returned to Hall H in glorious fashion. Not only did Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman appear, but the company also announced Avengers: Doomsday in a major way, with Robert Downey Jr. revealing he would be Doctor Doom at the end. SDCC is set to take place from July 24-27, 2025, in San Diego, California. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)

Marvel Studios will not have a major Hall H panel at SDCC this year. (Source: — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) May 30, 2025 This is largely because the next major film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' is set to open that weekend. Additionally, 'Avengers: Doomsday' has been pushed to December 2026, meaning that the cast is currently filming and Marvel has another SDCC before the film will be released in theaters. That being said, this doesn't mean that Marvel will be completely absent from SDCC. According to The Hollywood Reporter, they will still have "numerous panels about comics, games and more" as well as a "fully redesigned and immersive booth that leans into the release of Fantastic Four."

Marvel Studios was focused on filming the original 'Avengers' film in 2011, they had no footage to share in 2015, and several films were wrapping production in 2018 with nothing new to show. On top of that, Marvel was missing in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in 2023 due to the Actors and Writers strikes. Even though this isn't unprecedented, it's still surprising to see Marvel taking such a big step back. Time will tell who will move in to take the highly coveted spot.

Robert Downey Jr. Continues to Reveal Doctor Doom Story Teases
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors Robert Downey Jr. continues to have fun teasing fans from the set of "Avengers: Doomsday". On Thursday, the Marvel icon posted an image to his Instagram account which he captioned "Doom workstation essentials." You can see the image below. Read More: Official 'Superman' Trailer is Bursting With First Looks at Heroes and Villains Far be it from us to minimize the need for Kleenex while playing Victor von Doom, but the most potentially revealing addition to the workstation is the copy of "Doom" #1 by Sanford Greene and Jonathan Hickman. This giant-sized one-shot was released in 2024, and it's a very interesting comic for someone to be reading in preparation for "Avengers: Doomsday". Robert Downey Jr. speaks onstage during the Marvel Studios Panel in Hall H at SDCC in San Diego, California on July 27, 2024. Robert Downey Jr. speaks onstage during the Marvel Studios Panel in Hall H at SDCC in San Diego, California on July 27, Disney The plot of "Doom" #1 revolves around an alternate version of the Marvel Universe in which the world-eating Galactus - the villain of the upcoming "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" - kills all the superheroes and supervillains, leaving only Doctor Doom to defeat him. On one hand, considering "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" will be the last Marvel film to release before "Avengers: Doomsday", Downey's showcasing of "Doom" #1 makes it tempting to theorize that this means Galactus will have something to do with "Doomsday". This could actually make a bit of sense. In the comics, Galactus is the last survivor of a dying universe before he arrives in the prime Marvel universe. So it would potentially track for Galactus to somehow travel from the Fantastic Four's home universe to Earth-616. On the other hand, it could just be pointing to something that has been said about Downey's version of Doctor Doom ever since his casting was announced; that every villain is the hero of his own story. Doctor Doom is certainly not only the hero of "Doom" #1, but quite literally the only hero left. So it could be that Downey is reading the comic not for plot points, but for the feel of Doctor Doom as a hero. "Avengers: Doomsday" is scheduled to hit theaters May 1, 2026. It is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Robert Downey Jr. More Comics: Superman Battles Brutal Villain in New Teaser Nicolas Cage Becomes 'Spider-Noir' in First Look Trailer
