“Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!” Dang it. Didn’t work. We’re sorry. We tried to get the Ghost with the Most to return to Comedian-Con, and produce his Warner Bros. friends with him, however even saying his title thrice isn’t going to make it occur.
San Diego Comedian-Con 2024 kicks off tomorrow night time and whereas there are plenty of big, exciting panels and events taking place, we are able to’t assist however be bummed that just a few very apparent gamers aren’t going to be in attendance. Listed here are the ten movies, reveals, or corporations we had been actually hoping can be in San Diego this week, however are usually not.
Superman and the DC Universe
Superman author and director James Gunn was very open with followers that neither he, nor his movie, nor the DC Universe at giant, can be at Comedian-Con this yr. The principle purpose? He’s nonetheless making Superman. Nonetheless, we had been nonetheless type of hoping he was mendacity—however Gunn doesn’t do this. We’ll have to attend till subsequent yr, after Superman comes out, to hopefully see if Gunn brings some extra information on the way forward for DC.
Warner Bros.
Within the golden age of Comedian-Con, Saturday can be bookended by Warner Bros. doing an enormous panel after which Marvel Studios doing an enormous panel. Marvel is again this yr, however not Warner Bros, which is a little bit odd contemplating within the subsequent few months it has a ton of giant geek titles popping out: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice; Joker: Folie à Deux; Mickey 17; the Ryan Coogler/Michael B. Jordan vampire film; the Lord of the Rings animated film; Minecraft; and extra. Perhaps a panel was too costly. Perhaps the studio didn’t need anybody to count on Superman. Regardless of the case, WB can be missed.
Spider-Man Universe
It’s not even price asking for an replace on the subsequent Tom Holland Spider-Man film however there are, actually, TWO Spider-Man spinoffs opening earlier than the top of the yr. There’s Kraven the Hunter, a film that exists, and Venom: The Final Dance. Each of these appears fairly spot on for Comedian-Con, proper? And but? Crickets.
Severance
Whereas Apple TV+ is bringing Silo to Comedian-Con, it’s not bringing its much more standard sci-fi present, Severance. Which is bizarre as a result of after Severance got here out in 2022, Apple spent a crap load of money on an incredible Severance installation that was beloved by all. Now you don’t actually have a panel with the second season lastly popping out?
Jurassic World
This time subsequent yr, the fourth Jurassic World movie directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Scarlett Johansson can be in theaters. Perhaps. It appears fairly formidable for an enormous results movie that hasn’t began taking pictures but. Nonetheless, if that’s not less than the purpose, Comedian-Con would’ve been an awesome place to get the forged collectively and discuss a bit about what’s subsequent for the franchise that was assumed to be completed.
Evil
It’s tempting in charge darkish forces for Evil not having a presence at San Diego Comedian-Con this yr. As Paramount+’s hit horror present heads into the top of its ultimate season, we’d hoped for one final SDCC look to bid farewell to Mike Colter, Katja Herbers, and the remainder of the forged. Perhaps there’ll be a Satanic miracle and the present will get a revival, and we’ll get one other probability? – Cheryl Eddy
Home of the Dragon
Sport of Thrones and Comedian-Con go collectively like, properly, The Strolling Useless and Comedian-Con. However whereas that franchise has a number of panels this yr as at all times, the Sport of Thrones present Home of the Dragon doesn’t. Sure, it’s mid-season, however that’s all the explanation to ramp up the hype, and tease the opposite spinoffs.
Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty can be at Comedian-Con to debate the anime, and that’s positive, however we’re speaking actual Rick and Morty. You’ve obtained that new voice forged, wouldn’t this be an awesome place to convey them out for the followers?
Depraved
Common has already gone fairly big on Depraved. There was a Tremendous Bowl spot virtually a yr out. A large CinemaCon presence. However now, nothing at Comedian-Con. The Wizard of Oz-adjoining, massively standard musical suits proper in with the Comedian-Con crowd and a panel, possibly exhibiting a track from the film, would’ve been one of many prime two or three big-ticket gadgets of the weekend. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
Star Wars
We all know. Disney has the D23 Expo in only a few weeks and that’s the place we’ll see extra about what’s coming within the Star Wars universe, notably the subsequent present Skeleton Crew. However Star Wars has created a few of the most epic occasions in Comedian-Con historical past, so we’re at all times hoping for a little bit one thing. Even when it’s uncertain.
