For years, Marvel Studios has made the biggest splash at San Diego Comic Con, but last year, the studio stepped aside, letting Star Wars and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hog most of the spotlight.
However, this year, Marvel Studios is taking back the reins with Doctor Strange, which was confirmed by its director, Scott Derrickson, in a tweet on Friday. We assume there will be plenty of more Marvel confirmations coming as the annual convention draws closer.
One of those potential confirmations could be for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, which is nearing the end of principal photography. It also helps that its director/writer, James Gunn, responded to Derrickson's tweet with message teasing his presence, and I'm sure he wouldn't show up empty handed.
Really? You’ll be so close. I might have to come see you. https://t.co/LbqvjJ46Vg

What else could Marvel fans hope for? Perhaps, casting announcements for Captain Marvel and the rest of the cast of the Black Panther solo film.
Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill's true parentage.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2017.
