SDCC 2018: Marvel announces slate of TV and animation signings and panels

Comic Con is almost here, and Marvel Studios will have a presence. From the looks of things, there still won’t be any films present though.

Smaller scale

It’s been a few years now since Marvel Studios showed up in full force for Comic Con in San Diego. But unlike last year, the Disney-owned studio will be present in some form. Don’t expect to see any movies though, because the just-annoucned series of happenings is focused squarely on TV and animation.

The good news? If you’re into any of Marvel’s various shows, you should find something for you to do.

A slow-motion recording will capture the moment which will also include an overlay effect that shows both the light and dark energy emitting from the participants. Fans will have the opportunity to share their videos on social media.

  Fans can also stop by the ROXXON Corp station to create their own customized ROXXON Corp badge and lanyard.
