Marvel's Big Comeback: Can They Save the MCU at Comic-Con

After facing numerous challenges and disappointments, Marvel Studios is planning a significant return to San Diego Comic-Con's Hall H this summer. The company aims to make a major comeback in 2025, following the release of disappointing projects like "Secret Invasion" and "The Marvels." Despite setbacks, Marvel had success with "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and the second season of "Loki." To revive its fortunes, Marvel, under Disney CEO Bob Iger and Marvel head Kevin Feige, is adopting a "less is more" approach for future projects. Upcoming highlights include "Deadpool & Wolverine," "Agatha All Along," "Daredevil: Born Again," "Captain America: Brave New World," and "Thunderbolts." The next Hall H presentation is expected to reveal new projects and provide updates on the MCU schedule.

While specifics are not confirmed, renowned scooper Daniel Richtman suggests Marvel Studios is planning to unveil a significant lineup of new movies and TV projects, along with updated release schedules to anticipate upcoming titles over the next two to three years.

However, recent projects have seen mixed reception, compelling the studio to reassess its strategy. Fans are eagerly awaiting the future releases, including the much-anticipated "Fantastic Four" reboot and new iterations of beloved characters.
