San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) has become the prime place for any nerdy property to announce new projects and give exciting updates.

This is definitely the case with Marvel Studios, which has had countless reveals during its iconic Hall H panels. This includes last year when it was revealed that Robert Downey Jr. would take on the role of Victor Von Doom, AKA Doctor Doom.
Needless to say, fans were excited to see what exactly Marvel Studios would reveal during this year’s panel. Unfortunately, it looks like fans will have to keep waiting.

According to a report from Aaron Couch and Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios will “break with tradition and not have its infamous, senses-shattering Saturday evening Hall H panel.”

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.”

While this may be surprising to most fans, it isn’t the first time Marvel Studios has skipped its Hall H panel.
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.
