Warner Bros./DC Studios Skipping Hall H at SDCC 2019

Published

on

2019 has been a huge years for comic book movies and TV shows. While that train isn’t likely to stop any time soon it appears that DC Studios, a major player in the game, is taking a break from the media circus at Hall H this year at SDCC.

What does this mean for DC Comics Studios? Honestly it’s probably a good thing. After a series of misfires the studio seems to be finding its groove again with Aquaman and Shazam and Wonder Woman 1984 as well as The Joker ready to be released in the near future. After, that what happens next is anyone’s guess.

It seems likely the studio is simply taking a breather to regroup and form a new plan for the DCEU. It seems to be finding success in its fantastic but under-utilized streaming service with shows like Titans, Doom Patrol and Swamp Thing each being consistently great. All of those shows, plus their cartoons, prove what a powerhouse DC can when it’s focused.

Focus is key and it seems the studio has realized that. While bowing out from Hall H this year may seem like it’s acknowledging its failures chances are the studio will come back stronger than ever in 2020. There’s already a new Batman, Wonder Woman will most likely be a trilogy, the DC CW shows are (for the most part) are still wildly successful…there are many reasons to be optimistic.

Not only that it’s still competing with the powerhouse that is Marvel which dropped quite a few bombshells in Avengers: Endgame leaving most of the world chomping at the bit wondering what will happen next. If we’ve learned anything it’s that being anywhere near Marvel can be dangerous to profits. It’s been over a month since Endgame was released and any film that isn’t an Avengers movie is still struggling. Even Marvel’s own X-Men: Dark Phoenix is feeling it with a film that will probably bomb due to its proximity to Endgame.

Personally, I have faith in DC. When the studio puts out a good product like Batman: The Animated Series or Doom Patrol it shows they have their in their source material and trust the audience. Hopefully this down time will allow them to come back with a new game plan that will allow them to be the powerhouse we know they can be.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan.

His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
