Marvel is still a success but, for the first time since Iron Man put together a suit made out of scrap metal, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is on shaky ground. Newcomers like Shang-Chi and Ms. Marvel have been brilliant, but franchise fatigue has certainly set in across some of the other projects.
The Marvel SDCC panel, then, is a way for the MCU to course correct and really get fans hyped for the next few years of projects. Expect Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to get the majority of attention here with its November release, while Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Ant-Man 3, and The Marvels (AKA Captain Marvel 2) should all grab some focus as the hour wears on. There's been lots of talk about Marvel needing a Big Bad to tie everything together. Jonathan Majors' Kang is a prime candidate and, as you can see further down below, we've already had a sneaky first look at him tonight.
One of the first confirmed attendees for the Marvel San Diego Comic-Con panel this year is none other than Star-Lord himself, Chris Pratt. He took to Instagram to reveal he would be there in person, but he can't show us what he's wearing... yet. A new look for the Guardians of the Galaxy leader, perhaps?
Pratt, along with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy, appeared in Thor: Love and Thunder earlier this year. The team will be back for Vol 3. on May 5, 2023, but director James Gunn has already confirmed it will be the group's last outing together in that current iteration.
