While we wouldn’t go so far as to call this “official confirmation” that Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be at San Diego Comic-Con, it seems reasonable to assume that Derrickson and Gunn got the go ahead from Marvel and Disney to tease fans.
Last month, at the same time 20th Century Fox announced that they won’t be appearing at San Diego Comic-Con, it was also rumored that Disney was considering not showing up, but if Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will indeed be there, obviously that’s not the case.
Doctor Strange will cast its spell on moviegoers on November 4, while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will fly into theaters on May 5, 2017.
However, that expo happens every two years rather than annually like clockwork, so San Diego Comic-Con is their best place to grab a lot of publicity in 2016.
