All the News From San Diego Comic-Con 2026 - Gizmodo

What the report says

Gizmodo’s io9 published a post-convention roundup on July 28, 2026, collecting its coverage from San Diego Comic-Con 2026. The site described the San Diego pop-culture event as largely smooth, while noting an unresolved access problem involving some attendees who had wristbands but reportedly could not enter the panels tied to them. Gizmodo said it was unclear whether the issue involved counterfeit passes, planning problems, or another cause.

The biggest entertainment development highlighted by the roundup was Marvel Studios’ presence. Gizmodo pointed to surprise announcements for a new “Ghost Rider” film with Ryan Gosling and “Black Panther III,” which the site said will shift the mantle to T’Challa’s son. The Marvel coverage also included items on “Avengers: Doomsday,” Doctor Doom, Deadpool’s Comic-Con appearance, and a broader Hall H announcement recap.

Beyond Marvel, the roundup linked to trailer and television coverage for major genre titles including “Avatar: Seven Havens,” “Blade Runner 2099,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” Season 3, “Lanterns,” “Futurama,” “Dark Matter,” “Neuromancer,” and a new “Carrie” adaptation. Movie items included “Spaceballs: The New One,” Brad Bird’s “Ray Gunn,” “Resident Evil,” “Pan’s Labyrinth” in 3D, and the continuing rollout of “Avatar Aang.”

Gizmodo also summarized comics, merchandise, booth, experience, and cosplay coverage, including “Scott Pilgrim,” “Star Wars” anniversary books, Indiana Jones comics, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Marvel Legends, “Star Trek” Lego, and Hot Toys tied to “Avengers: Doomsday.” The digest underscores Comic-Con’s role as a central launchpad for film, TV, comics, collectibles, and fan-culture announcements.
