San Diego Comic-Con 2025is one of the year’s biggest events for movies, TV, and more, with Hall H serving as the place for panels to be held. Capable of fitting over 6,000 attendees, Hall H is where the most fans and stars can be together. That remains true this year as SDCC 2025 runs from July 24-27.
It’s mostcommon for Hall H to then be the place where some of Hollywood’s major studios tout their next tentpoles. Sony, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Universal have all come to Hall H in the past, while Marvel Studios is accustomed to bringing the house down on Saturday night with loads of announcements and surprises.
SDCC 2025 is very different, especially when it comes to the Hall H schedule. Sony, Warner Bros., and Paramount are all sitting out Comic-Con.Marvel Studios is also skipping the conventiondue toThe Fantastic Four: First Steps' releasing the same weekend and asAvengers: Doomsday’s production continues on. DC Studios also isn’t holding a full panel to tease what James Gunn has planned for theDC Universe afterSuperman.
There is no option to watch any Hall H panels at San Diego Comic-Con online
Yet, there are still plenty of big panels coming to Hall H in 2025 tied to some long-running and popular franchises.Disney, 20th Century Studios, Amazon, Blumhouse, Lionsgate, DreamWorks, Starz, and more have panels on the Hall H SDCC 2025 schedule.
