In a surprising move, Warner Bros. has decided not to hold a Hall H presentation at San Dan Diego Comic-Con.
It's become an increasing trend for the major studios to skip out on Hall H, but this will be the first time WB has done so in 20 years, and considering they have so many huge releases in the pipeline, many expected them to have at least a small presence. Instead, the only major panel for the studio will be It: Chapter Two at ScareDiego, which is an opening night event devoted to horror films.
This means that in addition to DC Comics adaptations Wonder Woman 1984, Birds of Prey, Joker and Matt Reeves' The Batman (which hasn't started shooting, but WB could have shared some updates), those in attendance will miss out on the likes of Doctor Sleep, Dune, and Godzilla vs. Kong.
We're not sure why Warners decided to pass on SDCC this year, but it may simply come down to the studio bosses coming to the conclusion that they don't need these big conventions to sell their movies any more.
