Title: Panel Speculation for 2020 SDCC
Post by: IanCar on November 22, 2019, 02:48:31 PM
It's early, I know, but it's fun to speculate to what could be at 2020 SDCC. What TV Shows / Movies do you think will be attending next year?

I'm hoping for:

Bill & Ted Face the Music

Stranger Things

10 year anniversary - Scott Pilgrim

MCU

I would like to see a mystery panel...a total surprise panel, with special guests and a nice secret swag item!  ;)

Echoing your hope for a Stranger Things panel. I missed the one in 2017 and have been kicking myself ever since. Also, off the top of my head, hoping for a Locke & Key panel and a Shadow and Bone panel, since Netflix is slated to release those respective first seasons next year.

Superman & Lois

Possibly something for the 40th anniversary of Empire Strikes Back?

It was easily one of the most entertaining panels in a long time.  Patton Oswalt should really get the job of moderating every Saturday Hall H panel forevermore

Might just have a Marvel (MCU) panel that'll include the MCU D+ shows.

I can see that since I think Falcon/Winter Soldier will probably be the only one with any footage ready to go. As Marvel/Disney gathers more infinity stones, it'll be curious to see how they start handling panels!

Well, I think I can amend my panel wishlist to just Shadow and Bone and Stranger Things since Locke & Key got a release date announcement of 2/7/2020 on Twitter today.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least we get to watch it sooner.

Looking at upcoming movie release dates here are some of the things I think we are going to get in Hall H this year:

Bob's Burgers - while movie would have just come out they usually come so assuming we will get some cool movie related stuff
Morbius - I can't imagine Sony not hyping this up right before the movie coming out
Infinite - Mark Wahlberg Sci Fi in August from Paramount which has been coming regularly
The King's Man  -  Kingsman has come in past with rave reviews
Venom 2 - Sony brought Hardy for 1st one and it made a TON of cash, how awesome would a morbius/venom block be
Snake Eyes - Distributed by Paramount so I think good chance it will be there on Thur with Infinite
Godzilla vs Kong - As long as WB follows up on their promise to come back think this will definitely be part of their panel
The Tomorrow War - Another paramount Sci-fi with Yvonne Strahovski & Chris Pratt that seems to fit Hall H perfect
Dune - Think this will be WB's other non-superhero offering in their panel
Eternals/Shang-Chi -  If Marvel comes back for 2020..............
Mortal Kombat - Another WB offering that might need a SDCC push
Rumble - Very fun sounding animated movie from Paramount
Batman - If WB is coming back this has to be their big splash, right??


Bill & Ted, Monster Hunter, Samaritan I think all would be awesome fits but don't think they will be there because of what studios have actually been coming last few years

Disney doesn't do panels too often at Comic-Con.  I suspect, though, for a property like "The Mandalorian," it would maybe be up to Lucasfilm (similar to Marvel Studios talking Disney+ programming during their panel in 2019), who hasn't had a Comic-Con panel since FORCE AWAKENS.  I wouldn't count on it, since the show doesn't need hype/publicity.  And once the Marvel series take off Disney+ likely won't have rampant cancels of the service, I suspect (meaning, Disney+ probably won't feel the need to promote).
You never know, though: that's one thing I love about this time of year - having fun speculating on what panels will play.  This time of year is like the start of a sport season, where the possibilities are endless! (unless you're a Cleveland fan, then you know your team will likely not win it all  :P )

This may sound strange, yet I think Hallmark may show up with their lineup for 2020.  Mysteries and romance...leading up to their HUGE stack of holiday offerings. Plus, their flagship series When Calls The Heart and its new spinoff. They announced a new convention albeit last minute. Maybe the time is right for Hallmark to visit Hall H? ::)

Hoping for Bill & Ted, Keanu might already be at SDCC this year for Matrix 4 if WB comes back. Matrix 4 is expected May 2021.

A Morbius / Venom 2 panel would be cool.

I'm assuming Marvel is going this year and hoping they bring Spider-Man. So it would make sense if Sony shows up as well.

Marvel feels like a good bet.  I think with ENDGAME bringing their Avengers franchise to a close, they'll need a lot of buzz for their brand new properties.  We are all locked-in (or at least a lot of us, I should say) to the MCU regardless, but people like my parents, whom I consider the average moviegoers, will feel pretty much 'done' with MCU since ENDGAME felt like a final.  I think Marvel is going to have to really sell ETERNALS & SHANG-CHI to American audiences and that will start with the Comic-Con hype.  Both of those films are coming out between Comic-Con and summer 2021 along with the DOCTOR STRANGE sequel, which opens May 2021.  So Marvel has a big year, in addition to their Disney+ offerings (Falcon & The Winter Soldier; WandaVision come out 2020; Loki & Hawkeye 2021) that we currently don't know release timetables yet.  We know that at least some of these series are supposedly connected to upcoming Marvel films, it's possible they might be included in an MCU panel this year as well

The Disney+ Marvel shows will probably be part of the Marvel panel (like they were in 2019).  I would think Marvel will be there since they have a very busy 2021.
I don’t think you will see any of the Star Wars Disney+ series.  Celebration is in August this year, and with no movie to promote, Lucasfilm’s focus there will likely be on the upcoming streaming series.

After seeing "Weathering with You" last night, I would like to see a panel with Makato Shinkai and/or some of the actors/tech folk from this movie.  The visuals were mesmerizing, and the story lovely.  It may gross more than the hit "Your Name".

Totally agree with all of this.  Lucasfilm just doesn't seem interested in huge Comic-Con panels with their own annual Celebration convention.  BITD Fridays were deemed 'Star Wars Day,' even promoted as such by CCI.  Even after the Revenge of the Sith panel when the films were seemingly done forever CCI still maintained 'Star Wars Day' for awhile with plenty of Lucasfilm programming for non-movie stuff.  I guess I haven't paid a ton of attention and dunno if there were smaller panels the last few years, but with the exception of the Exhibit Hall Lucasfilm doesn't seem that into Comic-Con.

I have noticed a reduction in the number of Star Wars centric panels.  Several years ago, I did see a fantastic panel with people who were involved in the music of the 3 original films of SW.  This was one of my pop-in panels, and I was soooo happy I popped in.  Brilliantly talented folk!  Now I look for this classic stuff.  They ain't gettin' any younger, and who knows when they will be gone from our sight. Praise them now!

Post by: sefton42 on January 22, 2020, 06:11:08 PM
Since the trailer for it dropped today, I think the last big Star Wars panel was the 2018 panel for the new season of Clone Wars.  They were doing to do a Rise of Skywalker panel, but realized they couldn't top their 2015 panel so decided not to.  It's not surprising that Mandalorian skipped -- there was a panel at Celebration in April and it was going to be an important part of the Disney+ panel at D23, and it couldn't show much without giving away Baby Yoda.  But next year with Celebration being basically a month after SDCC, I just don't think there would be much additional to show at two cons so close together.

With the Falcon and Winter Soldier release date moved up to August I could see Marvel doing a panel with the Disney + shows. If it was just the movies I think they'd skip it this year, but with the shows too and no D23 this year I think we'll see them back.
Title: Re: Panel Speculation for 2020 SDCC

Why do you think they would skip?  They have 4 movies coming out in 2021, plus Eternals in November.

I think Marvel may have a "hard sell" for their future new properties.  I base "main stream" opinions mostly on my family (parents, cousins, aunts & uncles, etc) who aren't hip to comics or internet movie news/gossip.  Talking with many of them at the Christmas break, most of them think MCU is pretty much "done"with ENDGAME.  I mean, Tony is dead & Cap is 'retired.'  I wonder how many normal moviegoers are going to be into Eternals.  Shang-Chi might appeal to some since Marvel seems to be centering it around the real Mandarin so that's smart to pull in Iron Man fans.  Doctor Strange pulled in less money than most of the Post-Phase 1 films (only the Ant-Man films have performed lower than DOCTOR STRANGE), so I dunno how much that film has a slam-dunk fan base.
This Comic-Con Marvel Studios has all three of those films to promote, with STRANGE 2 being the 'safest' bet and the latest release (meaning the least amount, if any, footage to show off).  ETERNALS will be right around the corner in Nov. & SHANG-CHI in Feb. so it's a good bet those films will have footage to share.  Heck, Spidey 3 has an August 2021 release, so Marvel might even have a little bit of fun with that, just to tease it (especially if MORIUS kinda-sorta ties into the Spidey universe, with that Sony film dropping a week after Comic-Con).

So I think Marvel/Disney has a robust slate for a panel with the 3 films they'll need to sell/hype.  I thought that CAPTAIN MARVEL was a sort of hard sell for Marvel to an extent, and the Comic-Con before that film Marvel brought the cast & production art (that revealed Skrulls & Kree heavily factored in thus driving us nerds crazy with anticipation!).  That film made _BANK_ so I think Marvel will use the same strategy this summer: especially hyping such a wonderfully diverse group of casts for ETERNALS & SHANG-CHI!

As for the Disney+ stuff, seems plausible to roll it in w/the regular huge Panel, especially since Kevin Feige is running both the films and the streaming show.  A double Marvel panel would be AMAZING though!

It was rolled in this year, I don't see why it would be any different going forward.  Especially if actors are playing their characters in both streaming shows and the movies.

For sure, that's what I think too.  Last year, though, they had a LOT of product and very little actual content to show off, though.  For Comic-Con 2020 Marvel will have:
* ETERNALS completely in the can
* SHANG-CHI mostly in the can (at least they'll have completed shooting)
* DOCTOR STRANGE in the Multiverse of Madness - ? shooting dates unknown, maybe starting a month or so before Comic-Con so they might have some footage, SFX tests, production art, or something tangible other than just people on a stage
* SPIDER-MAN 3 in Pre-production now, might have just started filming and could have a fun sizzle reel + other fun

For Disney+ shows:
* "Falcon & The Winter Soldier" - completely in the can
* "WandaVision" - at the very least filming, possible finished
* "Loki" - filming
* "What If" - in production

I can't remember Marvel ever having that huge of a slate to potentially show-off at Comic-Con before.  I can't recall them ever taking 2 hours in Hall H, even in years where they showed footage from maybe 3 different films.  This would be a crazy amount of stuff to pack into one panel; maybe Marvel can block out two back-to-back panels, similar to the Fox 'Animation Domination' panels.

IDK.  Personally, I suspect they'll just have one big panel like always.  Regardless, I'm almost giddy just thinking about how much awesomeness Marvel could potentially pack into their 2020 Hall H presentation!!!
Title: Re: Panel Speculation for 2020 SDCC
Post by: sefton42 on February 04, 2020, 12:37:29 PM
I think their panel last year was scheduled for 90 minutes, so they may be able to squeeze it into that.  Although given that Hall H Saturday has been rather lacking in recent years, it probably would not be hard for Marvel to get a two hour block.

I believe Dr. Strange starts filming in May, assuming there are no delays with bringing on a new director. With that, I agree they'll definitely have something by SDCC to show for Dr. Strange.

Time permitting, Marvel could announce the remaining 2020 movies alongside Black Panther 2, should be three more films. Since Black Panther 2 has a May 2022 release date, I'd assume production should be early next year. So there could be more info regarding the movie?

Anyways, it should be a great panel!

Same with Captain Marvel too, which is also a 2022 release IIRC

I think Witcher can be one of those properties that can trace the beginning of its popularity to its SDCCI panel.  There was a lot of good buzz last summer from that panel and it kind of positively snow-balled from there.  I guess I'm maybe going a slightly long way around to say, "I agree it will probably be back."  :P

It probably depends on timing with the release date.  After all, Stranger Things has only come once.

Good point; Netflix doesn't necessarily stick to a traditional release schedule with their ongoing series.  They both give the creatives the freedom to take the time to properly develop each season, as well as stagger releases to fill out their own slate.  Season 2 is filming beginning in February 2020, so it makes sense Netflix would have an early 2021 release for Season 2: at least likely before Comic-Con 2021, I suspect.  There's no firm release date for Season 2 beyond "2021" but Netflix green-lit Season 2 weeks before Season 1 dropped, so that's a sign they're pretty keen on the series.
If you're a fan of the series, I think it's fair to be optimistic Witcher will have a panel/be back at 2020 Comic-Con though that's obviously just speculation/educated guess

I've been thinking about book-to-screen adaptations coming out this year, and I'm hoping we get panels for most (or maybe all? *fingers crossed*) of the following: CBS's adaptation of The Stand (release date TBA), the new movie adaptation of Dune (due in Dec.), The Kingsman (now pushed back to a September release), the FX adaption of Y: The Last Man (release date TBA).

Oh, yeah!  Y: The Last Man & Dune are right in SDCCI's wheelhouse!  Y: The Last Man had to recast Yorkick so that feels 50/50 to me at this point.  They may not have enough materials ready to go footage-wise, but they'll also want to create hype to compensate for the bad look of recasting the series lead before going into production.  Dune has just started the marketing/hype, so it feels right they'd make a splash at Comic-Con.
Side note about Dune: kinda cheeky of WB to release Dune in what has been the 'Star Wars' date since Disney's "SW revival," thought that's a pretty busy release weekend when there's no SW movie.  In 2020 the Uncharted movie, Coming To America 2, and Spielberg's West Side Story are all being released as well ("how amazing would it be if Spielberg brought WSS to Comic-Con?!?!?!" asked the HS music teacher)

"Kingsman" prequel seems very plausible too: they've had a good relationship w/Hall H over the years (and Conan O'Brien - my one & only Conan ticket win was for the cast of GOLDEN CIRCLE).  With it being pushed back to September, I can see them wanting to make the marketing push: they like the Thursday late morning/early pm Hall H slot traditionally, and they give out good swag as well!

As for The Stand:
* production began last September
* it was given a full 10-episode order Jan. 30th 2020

So I suspect that means the pilot is 'in the can,' so to speak.  It's already cast, so it seems plausible that production would ramp up again and they'd have plenty for Hall H.
Also, imagine the possibility of Marilyn Manson in Hall H or Ballroom 20  ??? Or maybe EGOT-winner Whoopie Goldberg.  I actually just read that they spent four months shooting starting in September, so that means they likely have 2 or so hours of series: maybe more depending on how fast they were able to shoot.  I.e. if they treated the shoot like a quick TV drama shoot, where they could potentially get one 1 hour episode shot in a week, or if they treated it more like a film shoot where 4 months would about equal a feature-length film.  For reference RISE OF SKYWALKER took about 6 months of shooting on locations & in a studio while KNIVES OUT took just under 3 months.

Regarding The Stand, Whoopi Goldberg (Mother Abigail) finished filming and cut her hair so it’s wrapped principle photography.

They're doing The Stand again? I hope this time it's a good version... the last one was just meh.

Agreed.  The real tragedy is the original softback printing I had as a kid in the early 80's (that I got from my parents - maybe one of the first edition paperbacks) had the "soon to be a major motion picture DIRECTED BY GEORGE ROMERO."  Romero & King go way back and they had tried to make a film version of "The Stand" for maybe a decade and it just never happened.  I'm not sure a condensed feature film version of "The Stand" would work great (and that was the problem that torpedoed the film: they couldn't figure out how to either get it down to 2ish hours), but damn I would _LOVE_ to have seen a Romero-directed THE STAND.

And if you have the book that old, you have the original version, rather than the 'updated for the times' version King released later on...

Yeah, I got the 'updated' Author's Cut or whatever it was called too.  I'm a sucker that way (or at least I used to be - I haven't picked up a new King book in years).  IIRC the Extended version of "The Stand" came out when I was in HS.  I think it had the original cover, with the person in white w/a sword fighting a crow-like character in black who has an ax or something.  The paperback version I originally had (which was my mom's that I borrowed/stole) was a dusk/nighttime setting of a distant horizon, with a light in the foreground (like the lights of Vegas emanating from miles away in the Nevada desert), with a face on the horizon that's part man/part bird.

Realizing that this is a bit of a remote possibility: I would love to see a panel celebrating the 20th anniversary of the miniseries, The 10th Kingdom. Written by Simon Moore, this is a truly fun miniseries, that gets little attention.  John Larroquette, Kimberly Williams Paisley, Scott Cohen and so many more...including Anne Margaret as Cinderella.  Yes!

I know Hulu makes a splash at SDCC, so I hope they splash with something from The Orville. Their offsite last year was my favorite event.

Agreed! Season 3 is supposed to come out this fall, so it would be perfect timing!

It will be interesting to see how they handle Hulu and FX now that those brands are intertwined. I hope FX continues to have a strong presence with panels and off-sites.

@demonchocobo (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1654)   At least you and I would be in the audience!  :D I am sure once a 10th Kingdom panel would be announced, the room would be filled.  Huff puff!

I don't know if guests in announced waves have any weight given to them, but with Felicia Day being an announced guest in the announced waves, I think it would be cool if they were announcing a sequel to Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog.

It's early, I know, but it's fun to speculate to what could be at 2020 SDCC. What TV Shows / Movies do you think will be attending next year?

I'm hoping for:

Bill & Ted Face the Music

Stranger Things

10 year anniversary - Scott Pilgrim

MCU

Would love all of these.
