With the official schedule dropping this week, San Diego Comic-Con 2024 has fans buzzing.

What We Know So Far

Marvel returns to Hall H to unveil their plans for their Phase 6 releases. There’s a good chance fans will get an inside look at the new Fantastic Four, the future of the Avengers, and shout outs to the newly released Deadpool and Wolverine.

There is no word yet on whether DC fans can expect to see anything from James Gunn’s DCU. Luckily, with updates coming in daily, we’ll know more soon!
