OT, Jonathan, Comic-Con Attendee: "I have to guess it would probably be Marvel showing up big in some way shape or form. Disney usually dishes out a decent chunk of change when they show up and since they worked here last year we are kind of looking for something."

Thousands of fans gathered at the San Diego Convention Centre, Wednesday, to attend a preview night of the world's largest event of comics, pop culture and entertainment, the San Diego Comic-Con.
On the eve of its 50th anniversary, the convention hosted a preview night offering attendees a special introductory look at some of the exclusives and things to see during the main days. The gathering is expected to attract over 130,000 fans from all over the world.
With the focus being on participation of creators and stars of big TV hits like 'Game of Thrones,' 'The Walking Dead' and 'Rick and Morty,' Marvel Studios is expected to steal the show at the convention with a widely expected announcement of its next generation of movies.
