After skipping SDCC in 2025, Kevin Feige will be bringing his bag of Marvel Studios goodies back to Hall H tonight, July 25th, at 5:30 PT/8:30 ET.
Feige has repeatedly made it clear that the studio only takes the stage when they can over deliver…but how much can he really reveal before Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters this December? Let’s take a look at what to expect from the One Above All tonight.
Join Marvel Studios, alongside special guests from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, for an exclusive look at what’s next.
Avengers: Endgame Encore
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day releasing next weekend, Avengers: Endgane Encore is on deck and despite hitting theaters on September 15, Marvel has yet to really promote the project.
It’s been reported that the re-release will have as much as 7 minutes of new footage and will serve as a necessary narrative bridge to Avengers: Doomsday. The new footage is heavily rumored to finally resolve the lingering Infinity Saga’s loose ends regarding exactly how Steve Rogers successfully navigated his alternate life with Peggy Carter to hand off the shield. With it set to launch the studio’s Infinity Vision format, expect Feige to pimp the project alongside the Russos.
Avengers: Doomsday
The fifth film I’m the Avengers franchise, Avengers: Doomsday will almost certainly be the centerpiece of the hour-long presentation.
With the first trailer just having been released less than a week before the presentation, fans in attendance will likely be treated to some exclusive footage. Joe and Anthony Russo will likely be in attendance, alongside some of the cast, to tease story details. If we’re all lucky, the studio will reveal which actresses will be behind the masks of the mysterious Latverian witches that have caused a stir online after popping up at the floor display.
Black Panther 3
Other than X-Men, Ryan Coogler‘s third Black Panther film is the only theatrical project that’s been confirmed by Feige to be in development. And since it seems unlikely the studio is ready to roll out the entire cast of the X-Men reboot, a portion of the panel dedicated to Black Panther 3 seems highly reasonable.
Bringing Coogler out to reveal the title before having Denzel Washington take the stage, potentially alongside the studio’s new Black Panther, would send the crowd through the roof and dominate the news cycle from the convention.
The Surprise
For the terminally online, surprises are hard to come by these days; however, not everyone in Hall H lives on message boards and general audiences who haven’t heard about Michael Waldron‘s Nova film or the much-rumored-but-never-confimred Midnight Sons film. With X-Men holding down one 2028 date and Black Panther 3 the other, expect the studio to announce one or the other of these two projects, completing it’s 2028 slate.
While neither will generate as much buzz as walking the cast of X-Men onto the stage, a Glenn Powell-led Nova film–which would absolutely contain at least one “Dick Rider” joke–or introducing part of the ensemble cast of Midnight Sons is better than nothing.
With D23, Disney’s own convention, just three weeks away, Marvel has to keep some of its powder dry. So while this is by no means a comprehensive list of what WILL go down on stage at SDCC, it’s hard to imagine it would be much more.
