Here is our NYCC 2025 Marvel Guide for everything Marvel Comics and MCU related. There are panels for all eras of their movies and TV shows, panels for comics enthusiasts, and cosplay meetups.

Marvel Panels at NYCC 2025

Both on-page and on-screen fans are in for a treat at NYCC 2025. Whether you’re looking for a sneak peak at the upcoming conclusion to the Ultimates storyline or what’s next for Marvel on Disney+, you’re in for a treat! We’ll take a look at both official Marvel panels, fan-run discussions, and cast reunions! Each section is broken down by day for quick reference as your NYCC 2025 Marvel Guide!

Please note that any panels on the Empire Stage or Main Stage require a reservation. There will be a standby line for these panels, but reservations (if still available) will be your best way to secure a spot in the room.

Thursday

Hasbro Star Wars and Marvel Panel, 11am-12pm in North Room 408 is for the toy collectors and enthusiasts. Hasbro team members will reveal first looks at new entries in the Marvel Legends line. And, if you’re a “Star Wars” fan too, you’ll be excited to get a look at upcoming releases for the Black Series and the Vintage Collection.

If you’re a fan of the early 2000s “Fantastic Four” movies, you won’t want to miss this next panel! Back to the Baxter Building: Ioan Gruffudd & Michael Chiklis In Conversation will be from 12:45pm-1:45pm on the Main Stage. Known for portraying Reed Richards and Ben Grimm in “Fantastic Four” and “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” this will be a fun conversation!

From 11am-12pm in North Room 405, join actors Simu Liu (Shang-Chi) and Meng’er Zhang (Xialing) as they discuss their work on “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”.

Then, Marvel Fanfare with C.B. Cebulski kicks off the comics side for Friday! The panel will run from 2pm-3pm in North Room 405. Always a fun panel for comics fans, this year he will be chatting with artist J. Scott Campbell about his career at Marvel Comics. Attendees will get an exclusive comic variant!

He has worked on “The Amazing Spider-Man” comics as an artist, and later went on to write and illustrate his own Spider-Man comic storyline. His spotlight panel will focus on advice for those aspiring to get into the comics industry.

Then next, comics goodies continue with MARVEL COMICS: X-Men from 3:30pm-4:30pm in North Room 405.

Joining the actors on stage will be Ashley V Robinson to moderate. As NYCC was one of the first places that the show was revealed, this will be especially fun for long-time attendees.

If you missed their respective panels on Friday, you can check out Todd McFarlane and J. Scott Campbell: Legends in Conversation. This panel will run from 11:45am-12:45pm in North Room 406.1.

And now, the big one: Up Next From Marvel Television and Marvel Animation– 1:30pm-2:30pm on the Empire Stage. It’s been awhile since NYCC was host to a big MCU panel like this! I did a detailed breakdown of what projects they may talk about here. But even just a quick glance at NYCC’s guest list gives you an idea of what shows may get some news at this panel.

Comics fans aren’t to be left out, though! First, you’ll have MARVEL COMICS: Next Big Thing from 3:30pm-4:30pm in North Room 405. This panel will take a look at what’s next for Marvel Comics overall- including the highly-anticipated “Ultimate Endgame”. The panel will consist of Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski, VP & Executive Editor Nick Lowe, and Ultimate Editor Wil Moss. Writers on the panel include Deniz Camp (“Ultimate Endgame”), Chris Condon (“Ultimate Wolverine”), and Phillip Kennedy Johnson (“Incredible Hulk”).

MCU and Comics fans will both love Marvel: Comics to Screen, 5pm-6pm in North Room 405. This panel will dive into how the stories in the comics make the leap to the screen! The panelists include Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski, Executive Producer and Head of Marvel Television Brad Winderbaum, and writer Zeb Wells.

Ann Nocenti, a former Marvel Comics editor and the first woman who ever got to write a Daredevil comic, will be the featured guest alongside moderator Jules Chin Greene. The panel listing on NYCC’s website teases a mystery guest as well. They’ll take a deep dive into Matt Murdock’s character as written in the 1980s- a time period that shaped the character as we know him now.

And finally, Insight Editions: The Art of Marvel’s Stormbreakers (Twenty Years of Marvel’s Elite Artists) runs from 2:15pm-3:15pm in Room 1C03. This new collected art book features covers, sketches, and more from rising modern artists within Marvel Comics- and marks 20 years of the program.
