“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 convey his Warner Bros. friends with him, however even saying his title 3 times 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 will’t assist however be bummed that just a few very apparent gamers aren’t going to be in attendance. Listed below are the ten movies, reveals, or firms we had been actually hoping can be in San Diego this week, however will not be.
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 motive? He’s nonetheless making Superman. However, 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 a large panel after which Marvel Studios doing a large panel. Marvel is again this yr, however not Warner Bros, which is just a little odd contemplating within the subsequent few months it has a ton of big 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. Possibly a panel was too costly. Possibly the studio didn’t need anybody to anticipate Superman. Regardless of the case, WB might 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 in style 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 also 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 might be in theaters. Possibly. It appears fairly formidable for a giant results movie that hasn’t began capturing but. Nonetheless, if that’s a minimum of the goal, Comedian-Con would’ve been a terrific 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 accountable 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 closing season, we’d hoped for one final SDCC look to bid farewell to Mike Colter, Katja Herbers, and the remainder of the forged. Possibly 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
Recreation of Thrones and Comedian-Con go collectively like, effectively, The Strolling Lifeless and Comedian-Con. However whereas that franchise has a number of panels this yr as all the time, the Recreation 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 might be at Comedian-Con to debate the anime, and that’s nice, however we’re speaking actual Rick and Morty. You’ve bought that new voice forged, wouldn’t this be a terrific place to carry them out for the followers?
Depraved
Common has already gone fairly big on Depraved. There was a Tremendous Bowl spot nearly a yr out. A large CinemaCon presence. However now, nothing at Comedian-Con. The Wizard of Oz-adjoining, massively in style 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, significantly the subsequent present Skeleton Crew. However Star Wars has created a number of the most epic occasions in Comedian-Con historical past, so we’re all the time hoping for just a little one thing. Even when it’s uncertain.
