When news broke that The Avengers would be skipping Hall H this year, I was overtaken with different emotions. First I was sad, then disappointed, then I became angry with both Disney and Marvel. Why would you skip the biggest Con of the year? It didn’t make sense but overtime, I have changed my emotions with them and with these confirmations/rumors, I might just be the happy fan boy once again.
Many different outlets are reporting different things when it comes to Marvel’s presence at Comic Con and if The Avengers will be there. I have gone ahead and combined the most credible ones here and as more information comes to surface we will keep you updated.
The first report comes from First Showing and is in regards to S.H.I.E.L.D playing a big role at SDCC for The Avengers. In a nut shell, Marvel is going to use S.H.I.E.L.D agents for their big viral marketing much like they did at Wonder Con earlier this year. There are suppose to be agents throughout the convention along with props from the set. The big kicker here is that a teaser trailer for The Avengers will be debuted at the Marvel booth and that most of the actors from the film will actually be there throughout the weekend signing autographs. This could change though, but it seems that the most likely to attend will be Chris Evans.
This would make a lot of sense since Captain America: The First Avenger comes out the weekend of Comic Con. There have been reports that there will be a special midnight showing of the film for the Con and a big event for the opening. Hopefully as we get closer we will learn more about this.
If that wasn’t enough, everyone’s favorite S.H.I.E.L.D agent, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), took to twitter earlier to drop a few hints as well about Comic Con and The Avenger’s. “Just got some sick secret info about comicon. May be gettin’ strategic in the homeland. Might even do some intervening. More to follow..”
Marvel you might have just won my heart back…. If all or even half this stuff is true, I will never doubt your decisions again…..
