SDCC 2016: The Definitive Marvel Panel List

It’s SDCC week! Rejoice! Excelsior! We here at the Marvel Report have been working tirelessly around the clock to bring you the definitive Marvel panel list for the San Diego Comic Con.  If you’re looking for a Marvelous weekend (see what I did there?) these are the places for you, but before we get to the nitty gritty let’s take a moment to look back…

The biggest news in Marvel film is the return of major properties to Comic-Con.  The MCU left last year for a presence at Disney’s D-23.  Scott Derrickson’s tweet was met by a corresponding tweet from James Gunn on twitter.

Understandably the internet rejoiced and it was soon confirmed that both Gunn and Derrickson would be at Comic Con.  They even gave us some sweet Doctor Strange Poster Art and gave us a first look at Mantis in gorgeous concept art.

There’s only one other property that would warrant such a carefully planned social media exchange and that’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.  These are most likely going to be featured attractions in Hall H.

While there’s no confirmation, there’s hope that the identity of Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers might be revealed.  There’s been no confirmation or hint at this beyond hoping and the rumor that Brie Larson is the Captain Marvel frontrunner.  June has also seen a plethora of Spider-Man: Homecoming news.  We can only hope that the Marvel panel might include a consolidation of information as casting news keeps rolling in for Homecoming. Could one of these panels hold the secret to our success?

Needless to say that this year is shaping up to be a marvelous year for MCU fans.  Most of these panels are most likely Hall H bound, and the potential for new information and surprises is endless.

The biggest television news is the presence of Marvel Television’s Netflix division at the San Diego Comic Convention.  This will mark the first appearance of the powerhouse collaboration, and they’ll be promoting Luke Cage.  As we reported, Luke Cage will feature preview footage and a number of actors promoting the show. There’s also a brand new poster:

Sweet Christmas indeed.  Agents of SHIELD will also be returning for it’s firey fourth season:

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD has already made an entrance with a trolley wrap that’s generated a lot of sparks and a lot of conversation.  SHIELD has traditionally had a big presence at Comic Con. The past two years have seen Shield join up with Agent Carter in a Friday panel in ballroom 20. Fans of Carter who have been following the #SaveAgentCarter campaign are hoping for an announcement that the show will be picked up by Netflix.   Either way, with Agents of SHIELD as a major presence we’re sure to see a lot of Marvel’s television universe.

From fan meetups to official panels, we’ve got it all right here for you. Follow along, check things out, and say Hi to any Marvel Report people you might happen to see along the way!
