20th Century Fox will reportedly not be holding a panel at this years’ San Diego Comic-Con.
This report comes in spite of upcoming Fox movies like The Wolverine 3, the Assassin’s Creed movie and the next Maze Runner film which could’ve drawn in large crowds. The studio is yet to make an official announcement on this subject.
The report suggests that Fox doesn’t want to host a presentation because of piracy and in case any Comic-Con exclusive trailers or footage get leaked out. At their panel last year they brought the majority of the main cast for X-Men: Apocalypse and showed a trailer to the attendees, which subsequently leaked out the following week.
Fox aren’t the only company to have skipped having a presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. Marvel Studios skipped it last year because Disney’s D23 Expo was taking place the following month. It’s rumoured that Disney will also not be hosting any panels at Comic-Con this year either with Star Wars Celebration Europe taking place a week before.
Thoughts on this report? Will you be disappointed if there isn’t a 20th Century Fox panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year?

The first Spider-Man action figure from Captain America: Civil War has been discovered.
The figure is part of an “exclusive” 8-pack of action figures based on the movie. The pack also includes figures of Ant-Man, Captain America, Falcon, War Machine, Black Widow, Iron Man and Black Panther.
No details on where the pack is exclusive to have been revealed. However, a similar 9-pack of figures is available at Wal-Mart stores and online (but this set doesn’t come with the Spider-Man figure). It’s currently selling for $34.99 on eBay.
“Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.”
Thoughts on the Spider-Man figure? Are you planning on buying the 8-pack of figures to get the first Spider-Man figure from Captain America: Civil War?
