This year's San Diego Comic -Con, the mecca 00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:52.419 for geek culture, will notably lack major franchises. 00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:57.320 Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros., Legendary, 00:09:57.419 --> 00:10:01.080 Sony, Lionsgate, and Paramount are all skipping 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.019 the iconic Call A, which is known for significant 00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:07.799 franchise announcements.
