The MCU And Marvel Entertainment Together Will Make For One Marvelous Comic-Con
San Diego Comic-Con is happening in just a few days and Marvel Entertainment is pulling out all of the stops this time around. The company will be giving away exclusive variant cover issues and posters—available only at SDCC—and is set to host a wide range of special events and sell unique collectibles.
Marvel is one of the biggest attractions for SDCC this year. The MCU (the movie studio not to be confused with all of Marvel Entertainment) is making its triumphant return after skipping San Diego Comic-Con 3 out of the last 4 years, in 2018, 2020, and 2021. Marvel’s return to SDCC is rumored to tie heavily with their highly expected announcements and updates to be happening regarding the future of the MCU.
For those missing out on the action at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Marvel Digital Media will be covering the entire convention on almost every social platform, YouTube, and Marvel.com. Hosted by Langston Belton, Angélique Roché, and Justin Warner, fans afraid of missing out can expect around-the-clock details regarding every event, panel, and character expo during SDCC.
With all of that said, here is everything Marvel to check out at San Diego Comic-Con 2022:
Marvel Booth #2329

Expect autograph signings here from some of the company’s biggest talents, along with cosplay events and giveaways throughout the weekend, including a limited edition poster for signees.
