There are dueling reports regarding what Marvel’s plans are for Comic-Con this year. Heat Vision is saying, “Marvel will break with tradition and not have its infamous, senses-shattering Saturday evening Hall H panel.”
This seems crazy to me because they have so much going one right now and they’d have plenty of stuff to announce and show off. But they say, “it didn’t feel like the right [time].”
It’s explained that the “company is still planing panels and events focused on its comics and games, as well as a booth that will play off of the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which opens in theaters on the Friday of the annual fan convention.”
Before that news hit, another report from Alex Perez at The Cosmic Circus, who is pretty reliable, said Marvel Studios was planning to drop the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday at SDCC 2025. So, I guess he didn’t get that one right.
Avengers: Doomsday is the next massive team-up event from the MCU and fans could get their first look at the movie during the the event’s run from July 24–27. While nothing is confirmed, the idea isn’t far-fetched.
In a response to a fan question, Perez shared:
“I have heard Marvel will return for SDCC, but I don’t expect them to make it a grand spectacle like they normally do with Phase reveals. I think that the main focus for Marvel at SDCC will be to promote their new film, Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which coincidentally drops around the same time as SDCC this year.
“I’d also expect looks at Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again season 2, and VisionQuest, and an additional first look, possibly maybe even a teaser of Avengers: Doomsday.”
So, the focus may not be a full-blown Phase 6 rollout, but there’s a good chance Doomsday sneaks in with a first look, especially since it’s already been filming since April. Marvel has a history of previewing early footage for the Comic-Con crowd before the rest of us get to see it.
The film, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who are returning after their high-stakes run with Infinity War and Endgame, is already in production and scheduled to hit theaters December 18, 2026.
I was hoping that Marvel would show up to SDCC this year, they always tend to give fans a thrilling mic-drop moment. It would’ve been wild to see them bring out the entire cast for Doomsday, including all of the unannounced cast members! That would be insane! But, it’s not looking like it’s going to happen. Bummer.
Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars follows one year later on December 17, 2027.
