Marvel Studios is gearing up for a major comeback at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), with a highly anticipated return to the iconic Hall H, according to sources. This year's event, scheduled for July 25-28, is expected to be a stark contrast to the previous year's subdued presence due to the actors' strike.

Traditionally, Marvel Studios has reserved the penultimate day of SDCC for their grand presentation in Hall H. This year's timing coincides with the opening weekend of their first R-rated Disney movie, "Deadpool & Wolverine," which is predicted to be a box-office sensation.

While Marvel's specific plans for SDCC remain under wraps, the studio has a history of making significant announcements at the convention. In 2019, they unveiled their ambitious Disney+ and big-screen crossover plans, and in 2022, they teased their Phase 5 and Phase 6 projects.

Fans are eagerly anticipating surprises and potential appearances from the cast of "Deadpool & Wolverine," Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. There's also speculation about the possible introduction of "The Fantastic Four" cast, including Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Attendees can expect footage from "Captain America: Brave New World," starring Anthony Mackie, and possibly glimpses of the upcoming "Thunderbolts" movie, which is currently in production. Additionally, sneak peeks of the completed Marvel series "Wonder Man" and "Iron Heart" could be in store.

While projects like the next "Avengers" film and "Blade" are still in development and may not have footage ready for SDCC, their presence at the event could still generate excitement and speculation among fans.
