San Diego Comic-Con faces uncertainty as major studios withdraw and actors consider strike

Warner Bros.-owned DC has joined the list of major studios skipping San Diego Comic-Con this year, following Marvel Studios. The absence of studios is believed to be related to the potential actors' strike and the ongoing writers' strike. The Screen Actors Guild recently agreed to a contract extension until July 12, but if a strike occurs, actors won't be able to attend promotional events. Industry experts suggest that studios are hesitant to invest in Comic-Con appearances without the presence of actors. Despite the studio absences, Comic-Con is expected to proceed with various events and installations in the Gaslamp Quarter.
