Comic-Con: 20th Century Fox Panels Include Everything But 'Fantastic Four' and 'X-men'


Okay, so if we're to go by the released schedules for this year's Comic-Con the studios are seriously holding back. Lucasfilm isn't bringing Star Wars: Episode VII, Warner Bros. has nothing on Batman v Superman, and now 20th Century Fox isn't presenting Fantastic Four. At least not officially. Their 2-hour presentation will be held in Hall H on Friday July 25th, and will include some crapola like Let's Be Cops (!!?!?), and potentially cool stuff like The Maze Runner and Kinsgman: The Secret Service. Notice there isn't any mention of the X-men, either. *grumble*

Let's Be Cops
Panel participants are Damon Wayans Jr, Rob Riggle and Keegan Michael-Key.
Release Date: August 13, 2014
It’s the ultimate buddy cop movie except for one thing: they’re not cops. When two struggling pals dress as police officers for a costume party, they become neighborhood sensations. But when these newly-minted “heroes” get tangled in a real life web of mobsters and dirty detectives, they must put their fake badges on the line.

The Maze Runner
Panel participants are Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Writer James Dashner and Director Wes Ball.
Release Date: September 19, 2014
When Thomas wakes up trapped in a massive maze with a group of other boys, he has no memory of the outside world other than strange dreams about a mysterious organization known as W.C.K.D. Only by piecing together fragments of his past with clues he discovers in the maze can Thomas hope to uncover his true purpose and a way to escape. Based upon the best-selling novel by James Dashner.

The Book of Life
Panel participants are Channing Tatum, Ron Perlman, Christina Applegate, Writer/Director Jorge Gutierrez and Producer Guillermo del Toro.
Release: October 17, 2014
The Book of Life, a vibrant fantasy-adventure, tells the legend of Manolo, a conflicted hero and dreamer who sets off on an epic quest through magical, mythical and wondrous worlds in order to rescue his one true love and defend his village.

Kingsman: The Secret Service
Panel participants are Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Taron Egerton, Sophie Cookson, Sofia Boutella and Co-Creators Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons.
Release Date: October 24, 2014
Based upon the acclaimed comic book and directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass, X-Men First Class), Kingsman: The Secret Service tells the story of a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency’s ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius.

Hitman: Agent 47
Panel participants are Zachary Quinto and Hannah Ware.
Release Date: February 27, 2015
Based on the top-selling, award-winning videogame franchise, Agent 47 is an all-new motion picture about an elite and genetically engineered assassin, known only by the last two digits – 47 – of a barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. His latest target is a young woman on the run from powerful and clandestine forces. The mission brings startling revelations about the lethal agent and his prey, hurtling them on a collision course with their pasts. And this time, his number may be up.
