Cutting through all the internet noise, the biggest leaks for San Diego Comic-Con 2026’s Hall H point directly to Marvel Studios and DC Studios taking over Saturday.
It is July 2026, and while Comic-Con International hasn’t dropped the official schedule grid just yet, venue staff schedules and production hotel blocks have already given away the major players. Here are the core confirmed facts about who is taking the big stage this year.
The Saturday Heavyweights
As expected, Saturday is going to be the hardest day to get into the room. DC Studios has locked down a two-hour morning slot. Based on the actors actively booking flights to San Diego, they are focusing heavily on their upcoming Batman and Superman projects.
Later that afternoon, Marvel Studios has reserved a massive three-hour block. They are closing out the day, which is a return to their traditional Comic-Con schedule after a quieter presence last year.
Friday is for Fantasy
Friday’s leaks show streaming networks dominating the room. Prime Video is taking the morning slot for their ongoing fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Right after them, HBO has secured a prominent afternoon block. Verified industry casting sheets confirm they are using this time to officially introduce the child actors cast in their new Harry Potter television series.
What Is Not Happening
Let’s put a stop to one massive internet rumor right now: Lucasfilm is not bringing a Star Wars movie panel to Hall H this year.
Despite what fan accounts are posting on social media, Disney’s event coordinators have not booked any stage time for Star Wars films in San Diego. They are saving their big movie reveals for their own D23 convention later this summer.
We will see the final, official schedule released by the convention organizers next week. Until then, if you are planning to camp out in the grass line this year, check your gear and remember to pack extra water.
