The Hall H showcase kicked off with a celebration of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” in theaters now.

Delaney joined Feige as the showcase’s MC, mentioning the surprise “Deadpool & Wolverine” screening for con-goers Thursday, and the massive drone and fireworks show over San Diego’s Petco Park that followed.
