Although the SDCC panel revealed most of the film slate for the next major phases of the MCU, there were surprisingly only two trailers shown: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Given that Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special is going to effectively close the current Phase 4, the absence of teasers or full trailers for this and the first few Phase 5 projects was surprising.

However, it is likely that Marvel Studios president and chief creative officer Kevin Feige reserved the first looks of GotG: Holiday Special, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, The Marvels, and Secret Invasion for the D23 Expo. Sold out Unfortunately, the D23 Expo is sold out and no additional tickets are planned to be sold. However, select presentations will be available for streaming for members of D23.
