Part 7/10:
Historically, Comic-Con has served as the launchpad for Marvel's most significant announcements — a spectacle that builds hype and energizes the fanbase. Marvel’s decision to forgo Hall H this year is a stark departure. Despite still having a presence on the convention floor, the absence of a major panel means there will be little in the way of new footage, surprises, or major reveals.
This move also signals a potential re-evaluation of Marvel's priorities in light of internal and external challenges. The studio may be hesitant to showcase projects they are uncertain about or are still in flux, especially with actors’ legal issues and ongoing strikes.
