Sadly, rumors that Marvel Studios is not going to be holding its ordinary Hall H panel at San Diego Comedian-Con this 12 months have now been confirmed.
This would possibly not be the primary time the studio has determined to skip Hall H – which is usually reserved for the most important bulletins regarding future initiatives and unique first-looks at upcoming motion pictures and exhibits – however with two huge MCU occasion movies on the horizon in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars (to not point out the long-awaited X-Males reboot), that is certain to return as disappointing information.
Even so, it seems like followers ought to nonetheless have lots to be enthusiastic about.
In keeping with THR, “Marvel will nonetheless have a significant presence at this 12 months’s SDCC, with quite a few panels about comics, video games and extra. And sources inform Warmth Imaginative and prescient that it’s going to a large footprint within the San Diego Conference Heart, with a completely redesigned and immersive sales space that leans into the discharge of Unbelievable 4. And there may very well be some surprises in retailer, as nicely.”
With The Unbelievable 4: First Steps opening on the Friday of SDCC, Marvel has determined to make the MCU reboot its foremost focus on the Con. We would get some Avengers: Doomsday information, however with the still-shooting film just lately pushed to December 2026, the considering inside the studio is that “it didn’t really feel like the correct timing for a Hall H panel.”
THR has additionally weighed-in on the much-discussed First Steps test-screening that was held on Wednesday on the Regal Lengthy Seaside, with Kevin Feige and director Matt Shakman in attendance. The commerce declined to touch upon the reactions which were doing the rounds on-line, merely noting: “Suffice to say, the film is eight weeks away (that’s two months, an eternity in at present’s moviemaking world), and it’s nonetheless being labored on.”
The FF reboot has been described as “good, not nice,” with just a few “mids” thrown in for good measure. Now we have heard just a few issues ourselves, however the suggestions was barely extra constructive.
From what we will collect – and take into account this is only one particular person’s opinion – First Steps is a “fairly good” MCU film with some terrific components, however it most likely will not be considered because the “saviour of the MCU” some are hoping for.” We have been additionally instructed that a few of the humor fails to land (a frequent grievance with these movies), and that whereas the “healthful” tone works general, it does typically come throughout just a little “hokey.”
We’ll get to see the film for ourselves when Marvel’s First Household make their MCU debut on July 25.
