Netflix, Universal, and more are no-shows.
San Diego Comic-Con is considered the Mecca for comic book and movie lovers with imaginative cosplays, meeting their favorite stars, and big Hall H presentations, and the event is usually jampacked with people from across the country. But the pandemic brought that to a halt before the festival made a roaring comeback with SDCC 2022 with a masked-and-vaccinated convention and huge announcements.
How the Strike Is Affecting SDCC The next edition of the five-day event is set to commence on July 19, which is less than a month away, and while usually fans have a good idea by this time about the presentations and panels, this year due to the ongoing writers’ strike and chances of SAG-AFTRA joining them soon on the picket lines, most notable studios have strayed away from making any SDCC announcements.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Studios like Marvel Studios, which is famous for its Hall H presentations have already nixed their plans despite having features in the works like Loki season two and The Marvels, and the same goes for Disney. Similarly, HBO which has many fan-favorite shows, will be a no-show at the festival.
Speaking of the situation, Comic-Con spokesperson David Glanzer said in a statement, "With regard to the strike and its possible effects on Comic-Con, we tend to refrain from speculation or forecasting. I will say, our hope is for a speedy resolution that will prove beneficial to all parties and allow everyone to continue the work they love. Until then, we continue to diligently work on our summer event in the hopes of making it as fun, educational, and celebratory as in years past.
