Comic-Con Is ‘Finally Back to Normal’ After Years of Setbacks. But Could It Leave San Diego?
San Diego Comic-Con, runs from July 25-28, is finally set to mount its first regular convention in five years.
The rebooted DC Studios is largely sitting out this year’s convention; co-studio chief James Gunn couldn’t fit in an appearance between his directing duties on “Superman” and Season 2 of “Peacemaker.” But the upcoming HBO series “The Penguin” with Colin Farrell and the Max animated shows “Harley Quinn” and spinoff “Kite Man: Hell Yeah!” are scheduled to appear, and an insider says DC Studios still plans to break some news. By contrast, Marvel Studios, keen to reset fan expectations after its wobbly 2023, will hold two panels inside the cavernous Hall H: one for “Deadpool & Wolverine” on July 25, in advance of the film’s premiere the next day in theaters, and the other a presentation by Marvel chief creative officer Kevin Feige on July 27 that’s expected to include the first looks of films like “Thunderbolts*” and “The Fantastic Four.” Just two weeks after San Diego Comic-Con, Feige is due to showcase Marvel Studios again at Disney’s D23 Expo — one of several fan events, like Lucasfilm’s Star Wars Celebration and Netflix’s Tudum, mounted by media companies in recent years.
