Comic-Con 2023 in crisis

Comic-Con 2023 lacks a series of blockbuster movies compared to last year. If in 2022, the "big guys" in the entertainment industry brought to this event blockbuster series to introduce to the public such as Star Trek , The Walking Dead or House of the Dragon , this year is very different, while the event is about to take place on July 19.

One of the biggest studios to skip the event this year is Marvel. Its two big projects, The Marvels (directed by Nia DaCosta) and season 2 of the series Loki (airing on Disney+), will not be promoted to audiences.

The Paramount+ streaming platform has yet to confirm whether it will bring the next installment of the Star Trek series to the event.

Movie Blue Beetle is one of the rare superhero movies to be introduced at the upcoming Comic-Con.

Lucasfilm, whose latest streaming series is Ahsoka , also didn't bring a movie to the event. The studio hasn't brought a Star Wars movie to Comic-Con in nearly a decade.

The "giant" Netflix is ​​also absent this year because recently, the company held the Tudum event in Brazil and introduced a series of famous projects (including the trailer for the live-action film adaptation of One Piece ), reaching a total of 78 million online views.

HBO, Sony, and Universal are also absent. Only Warner Bros. and Amazon's Prime Video will be bringing films. Warner Bros. will give viewers a sneak peek at two superhero projects, Blue Beetle (directed by Angel Manuel Soto) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (directed by James Wan), while Prime Video will "tease" The Wheel of Time season 2 and The Boys: Gen V.

Screenwriter protests disrupt this year's Comic-Con

The strike of 11,000 American screenwriters that took place since May this year has created the largest collapse in the film industry ever in the United States, and is a factor that has influenced the absence of most film studios at Comic-Con. When the wave of protests has not really ended, the artists who stood up with screenwriters and producers to promote new film products immediately withdrew. And this is what makes the big guys have no one to stand up to guarantee and introduce their films anymore.
