Just don't expect major news about the future of Marvel's movie
slate or what's next for the hit relaunch of DC's high-flying
“Superman” franchise. Both studios are sitting out Comic-Con
2025, as far as their film slates go.
An estimated 135,000 people will attend the convention, which
will greet Lucas on Sunday for his first Comic-Con appearance.
The “Star Wars” creator will discuss his new Lucas Museum of
Narrative Art that will open next year in Los Angeles.
Fans of the “Alien” and “Predator” franchises will have plenty
to cheer. Elle Fanning, star of “Predator: Badlands,” will
discuss the film at Comic-Con's massive Hall H this week. FX
will also bring the stars and creators of “Alien: Earth,” a
series that will unleash the Xenomorph species on Earth next
month.
“Alien: Earth” will be one of the projects that brings a massive
interactive experience to San Diego, with a replica of
spacecraft from the series. The attraction will feature what's
described as a terrifying mission at night.
Marvel may not be presenting new movies, but it will have a
“Fantastic Four: First Steps” attraction near the convention, a
tie-in to Friday's release of the latest attempt to successfully
launch its “first family” in theaters.
Thousands of fans got a sneak peek at the convention's 460,000
square foot (42,700 square meter) exhibitor section, which
features exclusive merchandise, comic book art and exhibits from
brands like Star Wars, Lego, Nickelodeon, Paramount and more.
