Marvel Studios makes a return to Hall H for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con

Last year, the industry had to navigate many usual promotional events since the Screen Actors Guild would join the Writers’ Guild on the picket line. Press for films being showcased at film festivals would not feature any actors, and for an event such as San Diego’s Comic-Con International, the panels normally reserved for big movie reveals would become an unforeseen barren wasteland with many canceled appearances. This included panels for Dune: Part Two, The Boys spin-off series Gen V, Amazon’s The Wheel of Time, Lionsgate’s upcoming The Strangers trilogy, and more.

This year, things are getting back in full swing as Deadline now reports that Marvel Studios will be making their way back to the illustrious Hall H at Comic-Con, where the studio has reigned for so long during the Infinity Saga. San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 25-28, and Marvel usually comes in at the tail end on the second to last day. The Marvel label still made an appearance at the event last year. However, it was on the trade floor with attention being paid to the comics with artists and writers in tow for autographs and pictures.

The scheduled panel this year falls on the opening weekend of one of the year’s most anticipated movies and the only superhero film to be released — Deadpool & Wolverine. Although that film opens the same weekend, it shouldn’t be overlooked that Marvel would take the opportunity to squeeze in some final promotion for the sequel along with some bonuses.

Earlier at CinemaCon, audiences already got to see some first looks at Anthony Mackie in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World, which is slated to release next February, so some new footage from that entry may be in the cards. Additionally, Florence Pugh has teased her fans on her social media from the set of Thunderbolts, so it’s possible some new footage or images may be released during this panel.

Other projects such as the Marvel series Wonder Man and Iron Heart with Wakanda Forever‘s Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) have completed shooting, which may mean we might get sneak peeks at those projects. Marvel has also been making waves with the development of The Fantastic Four. Perhaps some of those associated with the upcoming reboot will make appearances or concept art could be revealed.

Jeremy Allen White won’t meet with Bruce Springsteen just yet; may try singing in biopic

Jeremy Allen White may be gearing up to play Bruce Springsteen but he doesn’t want to meet him tonight in Atlantic City – or anywhere, as the actor says he isn’t quite ready to have a face-to-face with the music legend.

While Jeremy Allen White has season three of The Bear premiering this week, his turn as The Boss is also approaching, as he is set to star as Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere, about the making of landmark album Nebraska. But White has his own preparations to do before he even considers sitting down with Bruce. “We’ve, like, communicated a little bit through some other, some other people….I hope this still all comes together, we’ve still got a few things, we have some timing stuff to work out, and I’m like trying to have a bit of, I think, my own process with it before meeting the man, too. I wanna try and, yeah, have an understanding, so that when I meet him, you know, I’ll have a bit of confidence somewhere in me to stand there.” White also plans to try to do his own singing.

Based on Warren Zanes’ essential book for any Bruce fan, Deliver Me From Where will track the evolution and making of 1982’s Nebraska, a minimal and intimate follow-up to double album The River. No doubt Jeremy Allen White will give us all a reason to believe that he is a perfect choice to play Bruce Springsteen; and we expect the same from Jeremy Strong, who is in talks to play longtime manager Jon Landau.

As per the book’s publisher, “Nebraska expressed a turmoil that was reflective of the mood of the country, but it was also a symptom of trouble in the artist’s life, the beginnings of a mental breakdown that Springsteen would only talk about openly decades after the album’s release.” 

Scott Cooper, who launched his career with Crazy Heart – in which Jeff Bridges played a fictitious troubled musician – is set to direct.

Are you looking forward to Jeremy Allen White playing Bruce Springsteen? Do you think he should do his own singing? Drop your thoughts below!
