Pictured: The actors pose for photographers upon arrival at the screening of the film ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ in London. . The biggest pop culture film outfit of them all — Marvel Studios — will be on hand and some of the world’s biggest movie stars, like Ryan Reynolds, are confirmed to attend.” as a writer and actor strike resulted in all major studios pausing plans.
Hall H has reached legendary status in pop culture and can create incredible buzz for projects, MacDonald said. It was where “The Avengers” cast made its first appearance, where Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill reunited onstage for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” and countless other moments.
“My hope is people will look at this show in the same light as 2019 and the shows before then as well,” said David Glanzer, chief communications and strategy officer for Comic-Con. “We want people to have a great time, and the way it’s shaping up, we’re going to have that this year — better than in previous years.”
It’s still somewhat of a mystery what will show up next week, with promoters covering sites with barriers to avoid spoiling the surprise. Some other activations, such as Hulu Animation’s waterfront installation, have already started promoting. San Diego County’s biggest hotel, the 1,628-room Manchester Grand Hotel, was booked up far in advance. General manager Dena Roady said the majority of the rooms, 1,400, are set aside at lower rates for Comic-Con attendees.
Carl Winston, founding director of the Payne School of Hospitality & Tourism Management at San Diego State University, said he mainly considers Comic-Con’s frequent threats to leave as a negotiating tactic and has a hard time believing it would split town. A frequent complaint over the years by Comic-Con is that they are limited to 135,000 attendees because the Convention Center is too small . Winston said an argument could be made that, with the addition of all the hotel space around the convention center, San Diego Comic-Con has a much larger footprint than it says and would be hard-pressed to find something similar in Anaheim or Los Angeles.
