Marvel Studios
After skipping the annual convention last year, Marvel Studios - hot on the heels of three back-to-back blockbusters in 2019 - is returning to Hall H with arguably their biggest and most awaited presentation yet as Kevin Feige takes the stage to finally unveil the studio's mysterious Phase 4 slate.
With Black Widow already in production, it seems increasingly likely fans will get.some sort of sneak peek footage as well as concept art for the upcoming Scarlett Johansson-starrer. A quick update on The New Mutants as well as an Eternals cast reveal - which may or may not include Keanu Reeves - also seems probable. Fans should also expect news for, at least, three of Marvel's upcoming Disney+ series: Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, and Loki.
Now, as for the rest of their slate, that remains an unknown for now, but expect some combination of the following titles as well as a likely update regarding the X-Men and Fantastic Four:
EXPECTED FILMS & TV: Black Widow, The New Mutants, Eternals, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange 2, Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki
POSSIBLE SURPRISES: Thor 4, Spider-Man 3, Ant-Man and the Wasp 3, Nova, X-Men, Fantastic Four

Terminator: Dark Fate
They said they'd be back.
Paramount will kickstart San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday morning with a special presentation for Tim Miller's highly-anticipated Terminator: Dark Fate and while details are scarce for now, it seems like they may use this slot to debut the film's official theatrical trailer. Miller will be present along with stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, and Gabriel Luna.
Paramount is also expected to showcase Top Gun: Maverick at some point during the weekend, but the Tom Cruise-starrer doesn't seem to be on the schedule, so there's a possibility the film's presence may be limited to a booth of some sort.
