Angelina Jolie coming to Comic-Con ... we think

As we previously reported, Angelina Jolie is in Washington, D.C. today, participating in the press junket for her upcoming stunt-filled spy film, "Salt." While participating in round table interviews this morning, I asked her the question currently plaguing celebrity-watching nerds everywhere: are she and Brad Pitt coming to Comic-Con or not?

"Brad's working," she said. Then she paused. "That's all I can tell you."

I followed up: "But you won't say whether you will be there?"

"I won't say whether I will be there, but I know he's working," she said.

So Brad Pitt, who would have joined Will Ferrell, Tina Fey and Jonah Hill on the July 24 panel for "MegaMind," is out. But Jolie -- who could do one last push for "Salt" that same Thurday, which happens to be the day before the movie opens -- seems like a more definite maybe. Obviously Sony wouldn't want to spoil the surprise of her appearance. But the fact that she didn't outright say no sounds like a pseudo-yes.

I'll be posting more from the "Salt" round table interviews in coming days. And I'll break out the highlights from those last two crucial days of Comic-Con's schedule in a subsequent post as well.
