As Hollywood continues to grapple with the impact of the writer’s strike and the all-but-certain actor’s strike, the standoff is creating new problems for San Diego Comic-Con. Several of Hollywood’s biggest companies have now decided to skip panels in Hall H, which is typically the biggest attraction and the longest wait time of the convention. In years past, Hall H panelists would discuss current and upcoming projects as well as promote future ones. This year is a little different. Disney, Marvel, Lucas Films, HBO, Sony, Netflix, DC Studios, and Universal have announced they will be pulling out from Hall H presentations, the Hollywood Reporter said on July 8. In a statement to CBS 8, a spokesperson for Comic-Con says in part, “With regard to the strike and its possible effects on Comic-Con, we tend to refrain from speculation or forecasting. Our hope is for a speedy resolution.” While the status of some things at Comic-Con are still up in the air, there is still plenty to be excited about at the Comic-Con and the Comic-Con museum.
