Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con is the place to be every year to see footage of the most highly-anticipated films of the coming year. But a new report has 20th Century Fox skipping out on the festivities this year.
According to The Wrap , a source disclosed that the studio will not be making a Hall H presentation this July because “the studio feels it cannot prevent the piracy of custom trailers and exclusive footage routinely screened for fans in attendance.”
Wolverine 3 (Hugh Jackman’s last time playing the character) and the Assassin's Creed film starring Michael Fassbender were the likely candidates to get the Hall H treatment this year.
At last year’s Comic-Con, Fox had brand new footage of X-Men: Apocalypse and Deadpool to show to those in attendance. They even brought on stage all of the X-Men actors from the different films, including Channing Tatum, who is set to play the titular character in the recently postponed Gambit movie.
However, the same source said Fox and Dreamworks’ collaboration, Trolls, will be shown at this year’s show.
Disney/Marvel Studios infamously skimped out on last year’s Comic-Con Hall H presentation in favor of showing off Civil War footage at its D23 Expo. The Wrap’s source also said Disney was considering skipping this year’s Hall H as well, but Disney has denied the claim.
