After skipping last year’s event, Marvel Studios is back at Comic-Con this year in a big way with one major panel already completed and another one to come.
On Thursday (July 25), Hall H attendees were treated to a surprise screening of Deadpool & Wolverine alongside some special guests. But that’s probably just the taster for Saturday’s feast when Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige delivers their Hall H presentation.
If you missed what Marvel has already revealed at Comic-Con, we’re here to help with a round-up of all the MCU news you need to know.
Be warned, there are Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers ahead.
Deadpool & Wolverine panel
The Ultimate Deadpool & Wolverine Celebration of Life panel took place on Thursday night (July 25) at 6.30pm PT (2.30am UK time). It was to mark the MCU movie’s release with Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Shawn Levy and Kevin Feige in attendance.
Reynolds reflected on his first trip to Comic-Con with the first Deadpool movie, saying he was the “most nervous human being you would ever see”. But far from being an ordinary Q&A, the panel was a front for a surprise screening of Deadpool & Wolverine.
After that had finished, Reynolds then introduced the major cameo guest stars in the movie: Dafne Keen, Jennifer Garner, Chris Evans, Channing Tatum and Wesley Snipes.
There wasn’t any time for the surprise guests to speak. However, Feige did tell attendees to keep an eye on the drone show taking place after the screening for a tease of what to expect in the main Marvel Studios panel.
The Fantastic Four
That teaser turned out to be confirmation that The Fantastic Four would be part of the main Marvel Studios panel.
The drone show ended by forming an image of Galactus, followed by the Fantastic Four logo. We knew Galactus would be in the upcoming MCU movie, played by Ralph Ineson, but maybe we’ll get our first look during the panel.
Filming is set to start next week in London. It doesn’t seem as though Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach or Joseph Quinn will be in Hall H as they’re already in the UK, but perhaps it’s all a misdirect.
When is the Marvel Studios panel at Comic-Con?
The Marvel Studios Hall H Presentation takes place from 6pm to 7pm PT on Saturday night (July 27). In UK terms, that’s the early hours of Sunday (July 28) morning between 2am and 3am.
There’s no way to watch the panel unless you’re in Hall H at Comic-Con, but you’ll be able to follow along for all the big reveals on Digital Spy. Some trailers and footage will, however, be exclusive to those in the room.
So check back in on Saturday night to find out what surprises Feige has in store.
You can catch up almost all of the movies and TV shows of the MCU to date on Disney+.
