Marvel Studios just had a cracker of a San Diego Comic-Con with big announcements about Phase 4 in their movie and streaming series franchises. But there’s more than just movies when you’re talking about Marvel. Fans have one month left until D23, the next big opportunity to see what’s next from Marvel.
There may be a few new things yet to learn about Phase 4. We haven’t yet heard about the next Spider-Man movie, when we’ll see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, or if we get another Ant-Man and the Wasp movie. We should also get more details on when and where we’ll find more Marvel in the theme parks.
Inside the Marvel Studios Pavilion on the show floor, fans can step inside the action of Avengers: Endgame via a D23 Expo-exclusive video experience, and tour the costume gallery to see costumes worn by characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Throughout the weekend, Marvel Studios will host panel conversations with filmmakers and artists, as well as special talent signings inside the Pavilion. Fans can test their encyclopedic knowledge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with daily trivia games for prizes.
Showcasing an array of new experiences for guests around the world to enjoy for years to come, the Disney Parks “Imagining Tomorrow, Today” Pavilion will give fans a unique look at Tony Stark’s latest plans to recruit guests to join alongside the Avengers in fully immersive areas filled with action and adventure in Hong Kong, Paris, and California.
Outside of the Pavilion, fans won’t want to miss Marvel’s exciting film, television, animation, and comic book panels, and stage events. These include:
