San Diego Comic-Con plejer ikke bare at være en ret positiv fejring af nørde- og popkultur, det er også her at store film og tv-serier oftest får nye trailere, premieredatoer og casting-nyt. Men ligesom sidste år har arrangørerne bag givet op, og det bliver endnu en gang aflyst.
I en meddelelse til IGN forklarer arrangøren CCI, at den fysiske udgave af begivenheden igen er aflyst. Dermed vil begivenheden blive erstattet af et digitalt event d. 23-25 juli.
"While we are buoyed by the rollout of the vaccine and the growing number of individuals being inoculated, it appears that July will still be too early to safely hold an in-person event of the magnitude of Comic-Con. For this reason, we have made the challenging decision to postpone Comic-Con 2021 as an in-person gathering until our 2022 dates, and once again hold this year's celebration as the free online Comic-Con@Home. Unfortunately, the challenges of this past year and the multiple postponements of our two largest events have left us with limited financial resources, so this year the online experience will be reduced to a three-day event, spanning July 23-25, 2021."
Præcis hvordan det vil gå arrangøren med hele to messer aflyst vides ikke, og det lader til at de er økonomisk pressede.
