The official schedule for San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2025 has revealed several exciting panels in the worlds of Star Wars, DC, and Marvel. SDCC 2025 is only 1 week away, taking place from July 24th - July 27th. The annual comic convention is typically home to some of the most significant announcements in the entertainment industry (like last year's Robert Downey Jr./Doctor Doom reveal), with major studios bringing top talent and IP to the show. 2025 will miss Hall H presentations from the likes of Marvel Studios and DC Studios, but there are still plenty of other events fans can look forward to.
Despite the absence of the traditional Saturday Marvel Studios panel, the studio is still expected to be present at the show (particularly surrounding the launch of The Fantastic Four: First Steps). DC is also fresh off the release of Superman, and James Gunn is preparing to attend SDCC along with the cast of his next DC project. Star Wars is the universe with the least to promote right now, although Lucasfilm is preparing something special for fans on the final day of Comic-Con.
Throughout Comic-Con's five-day run, several exciting panels are scheduled for projects outside of the worlds of Star Wars, Marvel, and DC, which should fill the gaps left by some of these studios.

What News and Announcements To Expect From Comic-Con in 2025
While fans will lack the major announcements that typically come with a headlining Marvel Studios, DC Studios, or Lucasfilm panel, there are still plenty of insights to be gleaned from SDCC this year.
One of the major DC-related panels this year is Saturday's Hall H Peacemaker panel. The panel will involve news and updates on Season 2 of the HBO show (which also happens to be the next project in the DCU) and likely a new trailer or some footage as well. James Gunn will also be on hand at the panel, which could lead to some news about the wider DC Studios universe.
On Sunday, fans can look forward to Star Wars creator, George Lucas', first-ever appearance at Comic-Con. The director will be there to promote the launch of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, and will be joined by fellow visionary Guillermo del Toro, making this a must-see panel for film lovers and Star Wars fans alike.
Marvel Studios has only a minor presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year, without even a panel for its upcoming animated or Disney+ MCU projects. However, attendees will have plenty to enjoy from the world of Marvel Comics and video games, with panels from Marvel Rivals and Marvel SNAP.
Outside of the core trio of franchises, attendees can expect updates from blockbusters like TRON: Ares, Predator: Badlands, and Five Nights at Freddy's 2, all of which are releasing this year, hinting at new trailers or footage being shown for all of them. On the TV side, there will also be news (and potentially trailers) for fan-favorite series like Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, Gen V Season 2, and The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4.
