While back in early March saw Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn state Marvel Studios will not be attending this July’s San Diego Comic-Con, it’s learned Disney will be revealing new footage at their D23 Expo in August.

Disney has announced Star Wars and Marvel are coming to the D23 Expo, which will feature previews for the Disney, Marvel and Star Wars movies.

You can read more in the below press release, but the names of the Marvel and Star Wars movies aren’t given, just that “…will preview the coming slate of live-action films from Disney, Marvel, and Lucasfilm” and “…films from Marvel and Lucasfilm, along with some very special guests, take center stage.”

More than likely footage from Captain America: Civil War will be revealed as well as Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The D23 Expo runs August 14-16 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
