Every rumored Marvel Studios announcement for San Diego Comic-Con
A new report from X user @ScoopsRus_ teases major reveals for Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation at SDCC. Among them, an update on Daniel Washington, the return of an Infinity Saga villain, and a sequel to Destin Daniel’s Shang-Chi. The report also points to a new cast announcement for the Nova Project, along with several other surprises.
Topping the list is Denzel Washington, an Academy Award-winning actor, who is rumored to attend the Marvel Studios presentation. Although no details have been shared about why he is appearing at the event, his presence has already excited fans. The actor is confirmed to play an undisclosed role in the upcoming Black Panther 3.
The report also claims the long-rumored return of Thanos to the MCU. While no additional information was provided, the famous villain is supposedly coming to Avengers: Secret Wars and expected to feature in a Disney+ series.
Another rumor also points to Marvel’s in-development feature film, Nova Project. The presentation will likely include an announcement with a well-known actor. This lines up with earlier reports tied to Loki writer Michael Waldron writing a script for Nova. A formal reveal seems possible here.
The list also includes a Shang-Chi 2 reveal. Building on the success of the first film, Destin Daniel Cretton is returning to direct the film, but many details are kept under wraps. With the character featured in Avengers: Doomsday, an official announcement about the sequel will excite Simu Liu fans.
Perhaps the most shocking claim in the list is Adam Driver‘s announcement as Mister Sinister, one of Marvel’s iconic X-Men villains. Beyond that, the list also includes a possible first look at a Midnight Suns movie.
Marvel Studios will host its Hall H panel on Saturday night, July 25, 2026. Fans should note that Marvel has not officially confirmed these claims.
