Wait… No Marvel At San Diego Comic Con This Year! Sha Wha?
Holy crap, it’s the quote shouted around the world!
When James Gunn was asked during a Facebook q and a if he was going to be at San Diego Comic Con this year, he replied, “I’m not sure. Marvel isn’t going so I’m not sure I will either.”
Insert the sound of a record player scratching.
Say wha?
Marvel one of the biggest SDCC booths and comic book publisher extraordinaire sitting out the annual pop culture convention?
I’m sure that Marvel will still have a presence this year, but the movie division may be hitting the pause button.
Plus, D23 is going to be in August this year and even though Marvel has barely had a presence in years past, Disney and Marvel are a little more integrated at this point.
Still, it is worth noting that SDCC may be a little less super-heroic this year.

At first, I thought OMG! Then I realized I don’t go to the Panels and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get a Marvel autograph ticket without connections (haven’t been able to get one in 6 years of trying), so it doesn’t really make any difference to me.
Im not too surprised because MARVEL movies have already been promoted or will be shown before comic con in theaters (AVENGERS 2). I think MARVEL promoted too much last year which they may regret and should of saved some movies for this year to promote like Black Panther. But im sure DC is thrilled.
