UPDATE: Tickets go on sale the week of Comic-Con, with the runtime revealed. And before Marvel could unveil the trailer in Hall H on July 25, an unverified description of the trailer surfaced first, sourced from a Russian Telegram channel and amplified by MyTimeToShineHello.
Marvel made it official: Marvel Studios takes over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, July 25, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. PT.
Per Marvel.com’s SDCC 2026 announcement, the presentation features “special guests from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe” sharing “an exclusive look at what’s next.”
Notice what the listing doesn’t say: Avengers: Doomsday. No titles, no names. Marvel is keeping the card face down.
Nobody is confused about what Saturday is for, though.
The Doomsday Stage In All But Name
Do the math. The movie is five months out, the only footage anyone has seen is the December teaser wave and an exhibitor-only CinemaCon reel, and Marvel just spent the week flooding Shanghai with teases — Doom’s throne and the X-Mansion on the show floor, Kevin Feige teasing Yelena and sequencing the X-Men movie from the stage, and new art putting Cyclops front and center.
And there’s history. Hall H is where Robert Downey Jr. pulled off the Doom mask in July 2024. Two years later, with Downey calling Doom “the best villain” and the release date locked, Marvel returning to the scene of the crime with “surprise guests” writes its own headline.
Expect the first public trailer here.
The Rest Of Marvel’s SDCC Slate
Marvel’s programming runs Thursday, July 23 through Sunday, July 26, with two booths on the floor (#2329 and #2519).
On the screen side, Friday brings the Marvel Comics to Screen: X-Men ’97 panel — a Season 2 deep dive with the creative team and “special guests.” So far, the season has been a 10/10.
Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine also gets its own Hall H slot Thursday morning, with actors Liam McIntyre and Krizia Bajos on hand and “never-before-seen content” promised.
On the comics side, Thursday’s Avengers: Armageddon panel comes with a fun mirror: while Downey’s Doom conquers the Multiverse on screen, the comics just handed Latveria to the Red Hulk.
Saturday unveils the Midnight Universe, Marvel’s new horror line, and Friday’s Next Big Thing panel covers Amazing Spider-Man #1000 and Infernal Hulk.
Around the con: Hasbro’s SDCC exclusives include a Professor X with hoverchair from X-Men ’97, LEGO is showing a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier set, and there’s a Marvel’s Wolverine-wrapped trolley running loose in San Diego.
Cosmic Book News will be on the ground and in Hall H. San Diego Comic-Con runs July 23–26; Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18, 2026. Everything Doomsday lives at our hub.
