Marvel is considering the idea of having its own convention, similar to Star Wars Celebration. Marvel Comics editor-in-chief, C.B. Cebulski, revealed in an interview with Popverse that they are currently "testing the waters" on the idea. Given the popularity of Marvel's characters, such an event would be a huge success, especially if they can reveal new storylines and MCU news. While there has been no official announcement, Cebulski expressed interest in the idea and said they are exploring different ways to make it happen. Marvel has already experimented with events like the Marvel Insider events and online X-Men and Deadpool celebrations. However, Cebulski emphasized that there are still many factors to consider, and it is uncertain if and when a Marvel convention will happen.
