Look who else will not be attending Comic-Con 2015. Matt did a nice piece on why Marvel doesn't need Comic-Con . And now this news. According to Variety , San Diego’s lucrative fanboy convention will be missing some key players next month: Marvel Studios, home of the Avengers, won’t be dressing up for Comic-Con while Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures have also decided to skip the Hall H presentations. “It wasn’t a knock against Comic-Con,” one spokesperson explains, “the film cycles just didn’t allow it.” Sony and Paramount just didn’t have the fanboy material to promote, said sources, while Marvel, which last missed the confab in 2011, already unveiled its new wave of Avengers at a special fan event in October. Plus, cost of sending a number of movies to Comic-Con can also set back a studio a few hundred thousand dollars, so “why force the issue?,” one exec asks. Disney is expected to showcase its upcoming slate, which includes sequels for “Pirates of the Caribbean”
