For pop culturistas who follow the massive annual barrage of news out of the Comic-Con International trade expo — popularly known as San Diego Comic-Con, or SDCC — there's a lot to keep up with. This year's Comic-Con promises to be a big one, with reveals from the worlds of Marvel, DC, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, among dozens of other pop-culture fandoms.

Marvel is showing up in earnest with its big Hall H panel, which promises a look at what's next from Marvel Studios. That probably means a look ahead at Avengers: Doomsday, WandaVision sequel VisionQuest, and possibly even a Marvel Cinematic Unvierse "Phase Zero" MCU slate. Marvel is also bringing two big games to Comic-Con with Marvel's Wolverine and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

Rival DC will have a more muted show, but will bring the HBO series Lanterns, body horror spinoff Clayface, and Batman: Caped Crusader to San Diego Comic-Con. Fans will probably have to wait a while before the next big info dump on the James Gunn-led DCU and Matt Reeves' The Batman Part 2.

There's much more happening beyond the comic book realm, though. San Diego Comic-Con will also have new reveals on The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Blade Runner, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Star Trek, and Spaceballs, plus updates on God of War: Laufey and tons of toys and merch. Moviemakers and TV creators are also using Comic-Con as an excuse to release trailers and other reveals, even if they aren't at SDCC proper.

San Diego Comic-Con returns to San Diego July 22–26. Follow along with all of Polygon's coverage below.
