Hey guys! Today, we’ll dive into the exciting announcements Marvel is planning for San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2024. Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, confirmed that Marvel’s panel will be back this year. The last big Marvel panel was in 2019, where they announced many exciting projects. Although they tried again in 2022, it wasn’t as successful. But now, Marvel is back in 2024, and there’s a lot to look forward to.
Comic-Con Dates and Marvel’s Schedule
Comic-Con 2024 will be held from July 25 to July 28. During these days, various studios and companies will announce their projects. Marvel has two panels planned. The first one is scheduled for July 25, but it might shift to July 26. The second main panel will be on July 27.
In the first panel, we can expect Kevin Feige to talk about the upcoming “Deadpool” movie, featuring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. This panel is perfect for Deadpool fans, as it will offer detailed information and cast appearances.
Major Announcements Expected at the Main Panel
The main panel on July 27 will be the highlight of Marvel’s presence at Comic-Con. Here are some potential announcements we can look forward to:
- Avengers 5 The announcement for “Avengers 5” was initially made in 2022, named “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty”. However, after the controversy with Jonathan Majors, Marvel fired him. Now, there’s uncertainty whether Kang’s story will continue in Avengers 5. There are two possibilities:
- Recast Kang with a new actor, as suggested by Daniel RPK. However, this might not be a good move as Jonathan Majors’ performance was integral to the character.
- Change the movie’s name and storyline. It might be announced as “Avengers vs. X-Men”. This new direction would create an exciting crossover event, much anticipated by fans.
- X-Men Movie Kevin Feige confirmed that the next saga would focus on mutants. This could lead to the announcement of an X-Men movie. It’s possible they might announce character-centric movies, such as for Wolverine or Cyclops, or introduce a new X-Men team.
- Blade “Blade” was originally announced in 2019, but the project has faced numerous delays. Mahershala Ali, set to play Blade, has expressed dissatisfaction with the script. If Marvel doesn’t address this at Comic-Con, Ali might leave the project. If the movie is to release by 2026, they need to make an announcement soon.
- Fantastic Four Cast It’s expected that Marvel will announce the full cast of “Fantastic Four”. Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby are rumored to play Reed and Sue Richards. With filming starting on July 27, this is the perfect time for an announcement.
- Thunderbolts Teaser Trailer A teaser trailer for “Thunderbolts” might be shown. This movie, featuring characters like Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, is highly anticipated. Since the “Captain America: Brave New World” teaser was shown earlier, a slot is open for the “Thunderbolts” trailer.
- New MCU Saga Kevin Feige might also reveal details about the new saga, possibly called the “Mutant Saga”, which could span Phase Six and Seven. Feige usually discusses future plans at Comic-Con, so fans can expect exciting news about upcoming projects.
Other Possible Announcements
Apart from the major announcements, there are several other projects that fans are hoping to hear about:
- Thor 5 After introducing Hercules in “Thor: Love and Thunder”, there’s a possibility of a “Thor 5” announcement, featuring a showdown between Thor and Hercules.
- Armor Wars There has been little update on “Armor Wars”. A Comic-Con announcement would provide much-needed information on this project.
- Ironheart Although not highly anticipated, Marvel might release a teaser or some announcements for the “Ironheart” show, which they have already shot.
- Doctor Strange 3 “Doctor Strange 3” is likely to be a significant movie for the end of the Multiverse Saga. With Clea and a new direction for Doctor Strange, this movie is highly anticipated.
- Shang-Chi 2 Given the fantastic reception of the first movie in 2021, an announcement for “Shang-Chi 2” would be well-received. This project is crucial for Marvel, and a sequel announcement is expected.
- Scarlet Witch Movie After the popularity of “WandaVision”, a standalone Scarlet Witch movie might be in the works. An announcement at Comic-Con would be a pleasant surprise for fans.
- Wonder Man There are rumors about a Wonder Man project. Comic-Con could be the perfect platform to announce it officially.
- What If…? Season 3 The success of “What If…?” might lead to a third season announcement, providing more alternate universe stories.
- Spider-Man: Freshman Year The animated series “Spider-Man: Freshman Year” could see an announcement, giving fans more Spidey content.
- X-Men ’97 Season 2 Following the success of the revival of the classic X-Men animated series, a second season might be announced.
