Marvel May Skip San Diego Comic Con This Year
According to Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, Marvel may be skipping San Diego Comic Con this year. During a Facebook Q&A, Gunn said the following:
When asked on Twitter if he was lying to cover for Marvel, Gunn doubled down:
“@starglooms: @JamesGunn @DrunkenShots guys, he could be lying” I have never lied about anything to the fans, ever.

At the current point in the film cycle, it actually makes sense that Marvel would skip the event this year (and maybe leave room for, say, fellow Disney product Star Wars) – but is it weird for anyone else that we’ve now reached the point where Marvel is skipping Comic Con because of their film schedule? I mean, it’s not bad… but it’s kind of funny.
