D23 Expo 2019 Tickets
Unfortunately, tickets to D23 2019 are now sold out, according to Disney. So if you didn’t jump on tickets when they first went on sale in Aug. 2018, you’ll just have to watch the event unfold from the comfort of your living room. At least you won’t have to stand in any lines?
D23 Expo 2019 Live Stream
If you weren’t able to make it to the expo this year, you may not be completely out of luck. While Disney hasn’t confirmed its live streaming plans for D23, there’s a chance that the House of Mouse will stream at least some of the content on display at the expo.
D23 Expo 2019 Star Wars
With both Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian set to make appearances at D23 2019, you should expect quite a bit of news (and maybe a trailer or two) from the galaxy far, far away. Stay tuned to this article for updates on all the Star Wars news coming out of the expo.
D23 Expo 2019 Marvel
Marvel Studios completely demolished the competition at SDCC 2019 and we expect the studio to continue that streak on its home turf. What are we likely to see at D23? For one thing, we’ll hear about MCU Phase 4 entries such as Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Eternals, and maybe even some more about Thor: Love and Thunder and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. On the TV side, expect Marvel to be a major part of the Disney+ showcase, with both WandaVision, Loki, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier coming to the service. Keep this article handy, as we’ll be posting all the latest Marvel news from the expo right here!
