There was audible disappointment on Thursday afternoon in Hall H at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con when 20th Century Fox’s highly anticipated panel ended, after an hour of “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” previews, with nary a mention of the main reason people showed up: Mutants.
The only advance clue that X-Men fans would see nothing came just days before the start of Comic-Con, when Fox casually updated the description of its film panel from “TBD” in a press release that went largely unnoticed.
Of course, that release only mentioned “Kingsman” would kick off Fox’s presence at this year’s event, and didn’t specifically rule out any other presentations.
