Later this month, the annual San Diego Comic-Con will be taking place and Disney is heading to the event, bringing some special fan activations, along with hosting some special panels for its shows and films, featuring the cast and creators from those projects.
Some of the shows getting panels at this years Comic-Con include “Doctor Who, “Percy Jackson And The Olympians” and many of the animated series from 20th Animation like “Futurama”, “Solar Opposites” and “Family Guy”.
It’s important to note that generally, SDCC panels aren’t live-streamed onto the internet, so it’s unlikely we will be able to follow along from home, but Disney will often release some images or video of anything that’s officially announced, but sometimes the previews shown, are only for those in attendance.
Marvel Studios will hold a major presentation in Hall H on Saturday, July 27th, 2024. However, no time has been announced. Expect to see plenty of news and previews on upcoming Marvel Studios projects, but I’d recommend caution in expecting too many unannounced projects to be revealed since, due to the slowdown in production, many of the films and shows previously announced will make up the schedule for the next few years.
Here are a few highlights of Disney+/Hulu-related panels:
