Sure, one would would assume that Marvel just felt that they simply didn’t have a reason to show up to Comic Con this year – for obvious reasons. But – a new report from Heroic Hollywood is saying something entirely different:
According to multiple sourcing here in Los Angeles and through my connections at San Diego Comic Con (FYI, I’m an event planner who throws a hot party every year at SDCC), the real reason is that Marvel felt it couldn’t compete with the upcoming DC panel from Warner Brothers.
Marvel found out internally that Warners is going supernova with their DC presentation which will includeBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Wonder Woman. Quite a formidable lineup and a really tough act to follow for any other studio.
Last year’s Warner panel was a pricey seven figure activation inside Hall H which utilized massive widescreen monitors and state of the art sound which delivered maximum impact. I was there. It rocked. Expect DC to go even bigger this year.
Sources also tell me that since Captain America: Civil War is currently under production, Marvel won’t have footage ready till August anyway. Also the actor that is supposed to play Spider-Man doesn’t have to report to the Civil War set till July, after Comic Con.
Are you buying this?
