What to expect from Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel at SDCC 2022

San Diego Comic-Con is back, and that means the crown of the convention, Marvel Studios’ Hall H panel, is back too. With so many unknowns, Marvel can do just about anything Saturday.

It could follow the example of 2019, dropping a 4-year-old calendar with upcoming Marvel films and TV projects to a rapt audience. The studio could shine one spotlight. Wakanda for Ever: Black PantherYou can save the most important reveals to September for when Disney plans to host a multi-hour panel at their D23 convention.

But if Marvel Studios goes big in Hall H this year, here’s what we’re expecting to hear about.

The one thing we’re pretty much guaranteed to see in Hall H is the very next MCU film on the calendar, Wakanda for Ever: Black Panther. The movie will be released on November 11, after a difficult shoot.

But there’s one Marvel project that’ll hit before Wakanda Forever — She-Hulk, Attorney at LawA nine-part series called “The,” which premiered on Disney Plus Aug. 17th, will air on Disney Plus. The next stretch of Marvel’s dated projects include Holiday Special by Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3And Marvels. All three films have wrapped filming and gone into post-production, so teasers and trailers are on the table, especially for February’s Quantumania. The Secret Invasion Disney Plus series also wrapped filming this year and does not yet have a release window smaller than “2023.”

Marvel may just have a few more updates to offer, aside from the new trailers. The Fantastic Four and Blade films have received very little attention since their announcements at SDCC 2019. Future Iron Man spinoff series and Disney Plus series IronheartIs currently filming and in production Armor WarsThe growth of Disney Plus (and other Disney Plus) is anticipated to occur by 2022.

And if Marvel really wants to lean into the frisson of crossed streams, the company could announce the R-rated third Deadpool movie it’s been promising, one that just might get to play in the MCU.

There’s a lot of Marvel coming from Disney’s streaming service that might make an appearance in Hall H, whether it’s with new cast, more story information, or a release window. We probably won’t see the The Night Werewolf Halloween special until 2023, given that it hasn’t started filming yet. However, the SDCC may bring you updates.

It’s been five years since Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox put the film rights to the X-Men and associated characters back in the hands of Marvel Studios. And it’s been three years since Kevin Feige hinted about an upcoming MCU X-Men movie on stage at Hall H. And we wouldn’t normally hold our breath, except… for one extra scene that seems very deliberately placed in a recent Disney Plus show.

Are we going to learn more about the upcoming X-Men movie? They look much better than they did last month.

What we won’t hear about
