Marvel Returns to Comic-Con with Exciting Panel on Post-‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Plans

Marvel Studios is making a comeback to San Diego Comic-Con with its legendary Saturday night panel, which promises to be packed with surprises and major announcements. There is a lot of excitement among fans for Marvel’s session at Comic-Con’s renowned Hall H, especially after the company boycotted last year’s conference because of the Hollywood strikes that banned authors and actors from speaking on panels.

The only confirmed speaker is Marvel President Kevin Feige, who is expected to tease news about the studio’s next titles in its “Phase 5” plan and beyond. A number of special guests, possibly stars of upcoming Marvel films like “Thunderbolts(asterisk),” “The Fantastic Four,” and “Captain America: Brave New World,” will be joining him.

Theoretically, Marvel may reveal cast members as well as teasers or snippets from next films and Disney+ programs. On Thursday, Marvel already occupied Hall H with an exciting panel honouring “Deadpool & Wolverine,” where fans were treated to a full screening and the stage appearances of surprise guests alongside actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds.

As the film’s popularity grew at Comic-Con, fans nationwide flocked to theatres to catch it, making it the new record holder for the Thursday preview of an R-rated picture. From preview showing on Thursday, the comic book movie sold an estimated $38.5 million worth of movie tickets.

The cinema office triumph of “Deadpool & Wolverine” roused Marvel from a slumbering year and alleviated concerns of its poor performance in the latter part of 2023. In November, the superhero industry experienced a historic low when “The Marvels” debuted with a meagre $47 million.

Before the studio’s most recent opening, which is expected to set additional records, the concept of “superhero fatigue” gained traction in the movie industry. The talk of comic book moviegoers’ disinterest has been subdued by “Deadpool & Wolverine” and Thursday’s crowded panel.
