Marvel Studios‘ status for the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con has been revealed, as has their plans for their legendary Hall H panels.
Will Marvel Studios be at Hall H this year?
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.
