Studios Abandon Comic-Con Amidst Strike!
Recommended for Preparatory Grades
Hey there, little buddy! Guess what? Something big is happening with San Diego Comic-Con, and it’s going to be quite a roller coaster ride!
So, here’s the scoop: Some major studios like Universal Pictures, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Sony Pictures, and Netflix have decided to skip the fan-fest that was supposed to start on July 19.
But why? Well, there’s this thing called a writers’ strike in Hollywood, and it’s causing some changes to our beloved Comic-Con.
Comic-Con Impacted
- You know those awesome movies you love to watch? Well, some of them won’t be showcased at Comic-Con this year. Imagine not being able to see sneak peeks of upcoming films like Haunted Mission, the next Captain Marvel sequel, and a Lucasfilm project called Ahsoka. It’s like a superhero without a cape!
- Wait, there’s more! Universal Pictures won’t be sharing news about The Exorcist and The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Sony won’t be talking about Kraven The Hunter either. Oh no, what a bummer! But hey, Netflix did have a recent fan-event called TUDUM, where they discussed the return of Stranger Things and an exciting sci-fi adaptation called The Three Body-Problem. So, at least there’s some good news there!
- Now, all this fuss is because the writers who create these fantastic stories are on strike. It started on May 2, and it’s affecting many TV shows and movies. Remember how we were eagerly waiting for a new season of Stranger Things or a Game of Thrones spinoff? Well, those projects are on hold because of the strike. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the studios are having a tough time agreeing on some changes happening in the entertainment world, especially with streaming platforms becoming so popular.
- So, my little friend, this year’s Comic-Con might be missing some big studios and their exciting announcements. It’s a bit disappointing, but remember, these things happen sometimes. But hey, don’t worry! There are still plenty of other things to enjoy at Comic-Con, like meeting your favorite superheroes, checking out cool costumes, and having a blast with other fans. Keep your chin up and enjoy the adventure, because Comic-Con will always be a special place where dreams come true, strike or no strike!
