Marvel Studios Skipping Hall H; Has Comic-Con Floor Presence: Report
Reports are that Marvel Studios will be skipping Hall H at this year's San Diego Comic-Con but will have a presence on the convention floor.
Attendees heading out to San Diego Comic-Con 2023 over the weekend of July 21st will still be able to check out Marvel Studios on the convention floor, but The Wrap is reporting exclusively that it won't be putting on a show for Hall H for this go-around. In addition, the rumblings are that Universal and HBO are considering a pass on having a big presence at the annual pop culture event. The biggest factor in play – to no one's surprise – is the ongoing WGA/AMPTP writers' strike, as well as the possibility of a SAG-AFTRA strike if a deal with the AMPTP can't be reached by June 30th (with negotiations ongoing). Simply put, if SAG-AFTRA go on strike than the chances of Hall H living up to its reputation of big names making big news diminishes considerably.
