Comic-Con returns this summer with another virtual event. Last year was pretty lackluster, and it looks like this year will be more of the same. As expected, Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. DC film slate will be skipping the event this year.
With Marvel Studios being backed by Disney and their own convention like D23 and their Investor Days, and WB’s DC Fandom event, they don’t really need Comic-Con. There’s still no word on in Sony’s Marvel titles, like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Venom: Let There Be Carnage and Morbius will show up for SDCC.
I know they are holding an event over Thanksgiving weekend in November of 2021 at the San Diego convention center, but I doubt the big studios are going to show up to that. So, I’m more curious to see what happens when San Diego Comic-Con is back in full force in 2022. I hope that Marvel and DC show up to Comic-Con again at some point, but who knows!
San Diego Comic-Con@Home runs July 23-25. Are you looking forward to this year’s virtual Comic-Con event?
