Marvel returns to Hall H

The studio skipped last year’s event, but will be back at the coveted Hall H on Saturday to promote Avengers: Doomsday, which is slated to premiere in December. The Russo Brothers film is Marvel’s first big tentpole production since Avengers: Endgame in 2019, bringing together heroes and villains from X-Men, the Avengers, Black Panther and the Fantastic Four to duke it out once more. Marvel’s presentation, which may see the return of big names like the Russos, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth, is slated to be one of the highlights of the convention.
