Most of the studios are planning to show off footage from the more genre-oriented part of their slates, bring some big stars to the stage and throw in a few surprises.

Here, The Hollywood Reporter breaks down all the film highlights hitting San Diego. Some of the information is official, while some of it is just rumor. Heck, even the official schedule says "TBD" under some studios' entries. After all, flying in stars and making sure footage from movies that are still in production dazzles isn't easy; thus studios sometimes find themselves juggling until almost the very end.

Check back for updates as the Con nears.

Paramount - 3 p.m., Hall H

FRIDAY, JULY 25

The Hunger Games

Lionsgate is skipping Hall H this year, but stars of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 will be at the Con to present the very first trailer from the third film in the hot YA franchise.

The star-heavy presentation will feature Channing Tatum, Guillermo del Toro, Dylan O'Brien, Zachary Quinto, Damon Wayans Jr., Rob Riggle, Colin Firth and Samuel L. Jackson, among others. The big question is whether or not the studio will show anything from Fantastic Four or bring that Marvel movie's cast.

While Warner Bros. has made no official mention of Batman v.

Legendary - 12:25 p.m., Hall H

Co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller will speak on the Dimension Films and Aldamisa Entertainment sequel.

Marvel - 5:30 p.m., Hall H

Marvel has traditionally closed out Hall H with a rock 'em, sock 'em panel, but this year DC Entertainment and WBTV have staked out that closing spot with a giant TV presentation. While Marvel hasn't revealed who they'll bring to the stage other than Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, sources say that Avengers: Age of Ultron will loom large with much of the cast appearing and footage being shown, as well.
