Movie

Disney will hold some Hall H panels for 'The Force Awakens' including a discussion about the new 'Star Wars' retellings for a younger generation of fans.

AceShowbiz - The official website of "Star Wars" announced that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" would take part in San Diego Comic-Con that will take place next month. The film will have its own panel at the upcoming convention on Friday, July 10, in Hall H.

Disney will present a special look at the film by screening a new trailer of "The Force Awakens". Director J.J. Abrams, producer Kathleen Kennedy and writer Lawrence Kasdan are expected to attend the event as well as "special guests."

Additionally, Disney will have some other panels during the convention such as a discussion of the popular Hasbro "Star Wars" line and a panel of authors talking about their upcoming projects from that galaxy far, far away.

In other news, Marvel reportedly decided not to hold a Hall H panel at the event because they know that they can't compete with DC panels from Warner Bros. Marvel think that they just don't have enough to show to the visitors. According to Heroic Hollywod, Marvel "found out internally that Warners is going supernova with their DC presentation which will include 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', 'Suicide Squad', 'Justice League', and 'Wonder Woman'."
