After the incredible event that was E3 2019, in two weeks’ time we will be experiencing another, as San Diego Comic-Con will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. Of course, one of the convention’s permanent mainstays, Marvel Entertainment, has announced that it will be there to celebrate the occasion and bring along a host of all-star panels from its various arms - Marvel Comics, Marvel Television, Marvel Games, Marvel Animation, and Marvel New Media.

Since Avengers: Endgame was just released and Spider-Man: Far From Home is currently playing in theaters worldwide, it’s up to Marvel Television’s flagship series to pick up the slack, as Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be taking on its first ever Hall H presentation.

All of that said, let’s take a look at some of the highlights included in Marvel’s announcement of their plans for SDCC 2019, which will run from July 17 to July 21.
