DEADPOOL 2 Will Take Over Marvel Studios' Saturday Night Slot At Hall H This Year

DEADPOOL 2 Will Take Over Marvel Studios' Saturday Night Slot At Hall H This Year

With Marvel Studios (and a number of other major studios) skipping SDCC this year, it looks like everyone will be looking to Deadpool to help pick up the slack. Could an X-Force announcement be imminent?

Marvel Studios may be skipping Hall H this year, but that doesn't mean Marvel won't be well represented during Saturday night's festivities. 

San Diego Comic-Con released its Saturday schedule earlier today and while Warner Bros. was unsurprisingly slotted during its usual 10:30 am PST slot, the big schedule surprise comes during the 5:30 pm PST timeslot, which is traditionally reserved for Marvel Studios, but since they're not coming, it's now been booked for a Deadpool 2 panel. 

Further details are unavailable at this time, but the description for the Ryan Reynolds-led panel reads, "Prepare for the ultimate superhero landing as Deadpool and pals drop into Hall H for an hour of maximum effort. Expect dirty jokes, broken fourth walls, maybe some spandex, and real, live unicorns!* *Panel may not actually include mythical creatures." Considering it does specifically say "pals," we can probably expect Josh Brolin, Zazie Beetz, and a number of other co-stars to join Reynolds on-stage during the hour. 

In case you were wondering and/or forgot, Deadpool 2 is already out in theaters, so the film's presence at the annual convention is a little curious, to say the least. The David Leitch-directed film has grossed over $722.5 million worldwide ($313.3M domestic; $409.1M foreign), so this could just be an elaborate victory lap, but then again, considering the price of a panel at SDCC, it's highly unlikely that 20th Century Fox would just bring out one of their biggest films as a joke of sorts. An announcement about the future of the R-rated franchise seems more probable than not and since the Disney/Fox merger is still far from being official, any updates will likely be about a potential sequel and/or the X-Force spinoff, although we'd probably bet on the latter for now. 

Additionally, following the panel, Comic-Con will be hosting the world premiere screening of Deadpool 2: Uncut, the recently confirmed extended cut that will release later this year when the film hits home video. For attendees, the screening will begin at 10:00 pm PST at the Horton Grand Theatre. 


After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry’s hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World’s Best Lover.

That's pretty cool. Hope they announce X Force though otherwise they would just be discussing what we've already seen. Not that it's bad but something new could go a long way. Also are the other two X Men movies gonna be at con cause im curious how those panels are gonna go.

This would be a really weird year for Fox to announce new Marvel movies, with the whole Disney/Fox acquisition looming. But I feel like if any Fox/Marvel movie character could successfully survive the transition, it would be Deadpool/Reynolds. It’s a cash cow.

@santoanderson - Deadpool could be easily integrated into the MCU. Everything else Fox has done? Hell no. Scrap it all and reboot and recast.

the recently confirmed extended cut

Had the possibility of an extended cut not been mentioned I might have probably caught this in theater after all. Or maybe not. Who knows? Looking forward to the home release now, my friends who did watch DP2 mostly liked it.
