Summary
July 23-26, San Diego Comic-Con will spotlight first looks at Marvel’s “Avengers: Doomsday” and DC’s HBO series “Lanterns,” two of the convention’s biggest Hall H draws.
Marvel’s Saturday panel comes two years after Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom reveal and will help tee up December’s “Doomsday” and Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” due July 31.
DC’s Friday “Lanterns” panel serves as a launchpad for the Aug. 16 premiere, with Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre leading a darker, Nebraska-set take on Green Lantern.
The lineup stretches beyond superheroes, with previews for “Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender,” “Blade Runner 2099,” “Spaceballs: The New One,” “Carrie” and “The Rings of Power” Season 3.
Returning franchises, cult reunions and TV spinoffs underscore Comic-Con’s role as a broad marketing stage for studios testing fan appetite across film, streaming and genre TV.
