Marvel returns to Hall H Saturday as San Diego Comic-Con runs July 23–26 — here’s your guide to the week.

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 opens tonight with Preview Night, giving badge holders their first look at the show floor before the convention runs in full from Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26. Badges for all days are sold out.

The headline event comes Saturday, July 25, when Marvel Studios returns to Hall H. Marvel has not confirmed what it will present, but with Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars on the slate, fans are hoping for news on both. To be clear: nothing has been announced yet — we’ll report what’s actually revealed.

Hall H will also host panels from PlayStation and Disney Entertainment Television across the weekend, per the official schedule reported by Deadline.

On the comics side, DC has published its full signings and giveaways schedule for the weekend, featuring comic writers and artists alongside HBO Max talent. Attendees should plan signings early — lines form fast.

Elsewhere on the floor, Bandai returns with panels and exclusives, including a public debut tied to a new Gundam series and an early look at the newly announced game Gundam Rogue Orbit.

The Nerd Wire will be covering announcements throughout the week. Check back daily, and follow us on Instagram, X, and Threads for updates as they break.
