By Here’s every major San Diego Comic-Con 2026 announcements in one place. The convention wrapped up another jam-packed weekend, running from Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26, and it delivered on nearly every front. Marvel Studios made its long-awaited return to Hall H, DC brought fans deeper into the Green Lantern Corps, and streamers like Apple TV and HBO used the weekend to unveil first looks at some of their biggest upcoming projects. Below is a full round-up of the SDCC 2026 announcements, organized so you can jump straight to what matters most to you.
Marvel Studios Takes Over Hall H
After sitting out the previous year, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige returned to Hall H to give the audience an exclusive look at the future of the MCU. The panel delivered two brand-new movie announcements alongside a wave of footage.
Ghost Rider Starring Ryan Gosling
The single biggest reveal of the convention was confirmation of a new Ghost Rider feature. The film stars Ryan Gosling and is directed by Shawn Levy, with a theatrical release set for 2028.
Black Panther 3 Confirmed
Marvel also confirmed Black Panther 3, also targeting a 2028 release. Ryan Coogler returns to direct, Letitia Wright returns, and David Jonsson joins the cast as T’Challa’s son.
Avengers: Doomsday Gets Bigger
Doomsday remained the centerpiece of the panel and was given more stage time than any other project, as the studio eases into the final stretch of the Multiverse Saga. Adding to the nostalgia, Hayley Atwell joined the Doomsday cast onstage to confirm she is returning as Peggy Carter. The panel also opened with a tease that Avengers: Endgame is heading back to theaters on September 25, ahead of Doomsday’s release. For the full breakdown of what’s been shown so far, see our Avengers: Doomsday trailer breakdown.
What Marvel Didn’t Show
Not everything made the cut. VisionQuest only got a brief mention, while Avengers: Secret Wars and the upcoming X-Men film were left out of the presentation entirely.
Marvel’s Wolverine Game
Gaming got its own moment too. Insomniac Games debuted a new story trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine, opening on a confrontation between Logan and Jean Grey and featuring villains like the Hand and Deathstrike. Marvel also tied in a prequel comic written by the game’s narrative director, Walt Williams, to build up the story ahead of launch.
DC’s Lanterns Panel
DC didn’t bring a full studio slate presentation this year, but the Lanterns series brought the goods on its own. The Hall H trailer introduced Sinestro into the show while leaning into its ties to the wider Justice League universe. HBO also gave the Lanterns experience a physical presence on the show floor, letting attendees complete Green Lantern-style challenges to earn a custom power ring.
Apple TV’s Big Hall H Push
Apple used its Hall H slot to spotlight three different projects.
- Neuromancer: Callum Turner appeared via video to introduce the first teaser for the cyberpunk series based on William Gibson’s 1984 novel, which premieres January 22. The show follows hacker Case (Turner) and assassin Molly (Briana Middleton) as they pull a heist on a corporate dynasty, with a cast that includes Mark Strong, Peter Sarsgaard, and Clémence Poésy.
- Matchbox: The Movie: An upcoming action comedy starring John Cena and Jessica Biel.
- Mayday: A second action comedy from Apple, starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh.
- Dark Matter Season 2: A new trailer raised the stakes across dimensions for the sci-fi drama’s second run.
Futurama’s Big Comeback
Animation fans got plenty to celebrate. Futurama returns weekly on Hulu starting August 3 with 10 new episodes, and the panel featured Matt Groening alongside head writer David X. Cohen, executive producers Claudia Katz and Ken Keeler, and the show’s core voice cast. On top of the new season, Hulu announced three “XXXL-sized” Futurama specials, starting with a Christmas-themed installment set to air in 2027.
