Marvel unviels their next four projects
Marvel Unveils CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, THOR: THE DARK WORLD, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and ANT-MAN
Saturday’s Hall H panel for Marvel at Comic-Con was billed as Iron Man 3, but from previous experience we all knew to expect more goodies from Marvel Studios than just IM3. We were right, as the studio announced full, intriguing titles for Thor 2 and Captain America 2, confirmed Guardians of the Galaxy (including which characters will appear), and revealed test footage for Ant-Man with a surprise appearance by Edgar Wright. Hit the jump for my full recap of this “update” portion of the Marvel panel. [Update: We've updated the article with concept art for the Guardians of the Galaxy movie as well as logos for all the upcoming Marvel films] Chris-Hemsworth-Thor 2 the dark worldFeige opened the panel by saying that they’re working on four movies in active development. The first is Iron Man 3, hitting theaters on May 3rd, 2013. He then went on to reveal titles for two previously known sequels, and confirmed another property that we’d heard rumblings of in the past few weeks. Iron Man 3 (May 3, 2013) Thor: The Dark World (November 8, 2013) Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014) Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1, 2014) For fans of the comics, the subtitle “The Winter Soldier” should provide a hint as to where the Captain America sequel will go. The title is a reference to a comics storyline that will find Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) taking an integral role. guardians-of-the-galaxy-movieFeige added that Zachary Levi has been confirmed as the character of Fandrel in the Thor sequel, and revealed the team that will be unleashed for Guardians of the Galaxy: StarLord Drax the Destroyer Rocket Raccoon Groot Gamora In a fantastic surprise, Feige then introduced Edgar Wright to talk about Ant-Man. Wright had been tweeting about being in London for the past few days in an effort to throw fans off, but he came out to a very warm reception. “I’m taking the Terrence Malick approach to superheroes,” said Wright referring to the long road of development on Ant-Man. Wright and Joe Cornish wrote two more drafts of the script last year, but they’ve been done for quite a while. ant-man-movie-logoThey then revealed test footage that Wright shot for Ant-Man, after Wright toyed for a bit with the audience saying they wouldn’t really want to see a clip of stuff with wires and blue screens in it. It’s completely unfinished since they shot it two weeks ago, but they showed the footage anyway because Marvel absolutely owns Comic-Con. The footage opened with Ant-Man sitting on a ledge in an air conditioning vent that lead to a hallway guarded by two agents. The costume was pretty metallic looking, and he snuck through the vent hole and started running down the hallway. He morphed to normal size, shocking the guards, then morphed back down to ant size and kept running. Still in “ant size” he leapt up and punched one of the guys in the face, knocking the spit out of him, then he ran and attacked the other guard. The footage was obviously rough, but I thought the big/small effects worked great. Wright found a way to make Ant-Man’s power work in a cool and useful way on screen, while still allowing room for the playful tone that he does so well. While I was hoping we’d see someone like Simon Pegg play the role just for fun in the test footage, the actor was wearing the Ant-Man helmet the entire time so we never saw his face. The lights then came back up. “I’ve been doing one second of that for the last six years,” quipped Wright Wright confirmed that the costume seen in the test footage will most likely be what makes the final film. He described it as a mix between the Silver Age and contemporary Ant-Man, adding “Ant-Man will kick your ass one inch at a time.” Wright said there’s no casting to announce, but “revealed” that Ant-Man has been here in Hall H all day, pulling out an Ant-Man title card and putting it on the table next to him. Wright then left the stage to make way for the Iron Man 3 panel, but these bits of news from Marvel were met with wild applause from the audience. Hit the comments to discuss the goings-on from today’s Marvel panel, and read Matt’s recap of Iron Man 3 right here. [Update: Simon Pegg tweeted that he, Nick Frost, and Wright start filming The World's End in 10 weeks, then Wright will film Ant-Man sometime next year.] Last edited by Tribal Warfare; 07-17-2012 at 04:05 PM.. |

Sounds like a half-reboot that will make continuity even more cluster****y, but I've really enjoyed Hickman's Avengers run so I'll give it a shot.

I can see where it makes sense. They have an entire new generation of fans thanks to the movies. This allows them to rewrite the whole multiverse in a way that works with the limits you have with movies. As the current actors get older and retire they can transition to new actors based on the new continuity. No clue if that is what they are planning, but it would make a ton of sense.

Yeah, but tailoring it around people who see the movies is pretty narrow minded. The people that have pull lists and keep the print end of things going just see the MCU as another part of the multiverse.
I hope they pull it off without screwing up some of the really good story lines going on right now like Punisher, Black Widow and Silver Surfer. |

yep, DC is even admitting their mistake with the upcoming event (Convergence) where they're opening up the gates again and saying that a lot of the old continuity still exists in other alternate universes

Kids that enjoy the movies aren't going to decide to spend $3 an issue for a short comic. It's old nerds willing to dump $50 (or more) a month into physical issues. The success of the Ultimates line shows you don't have to **** with the main continuity to tell new stories with a different take on old characters. Marvel needs better writers - not more extreme changes...

Well thats the cover supposedly for the Avengers after the soft Reboot. Though I've also not read a comic in many yrs the Avengers was one of my favorites. That cover Screams the movie version of the team. And though the movie was good its such a let down to hear the comic is going to be dummed down. To me this is the Avengers.. |

Hell, the Hulk has been an Avenger in name only the last 20 years. I'd prefer they stuck the Hulk with the Defenders but they've gone a with a new line up there as well... Original. New Defenders

The Defenders match what they're doing with Netflix.
As far as the Avengers go, it looks like they may be tearing the onscreen team up in May, so that soft reboot cover might not be relevant for very long. |

That's actually a cover for a tie-in comic set in the cinematic universe, it doesn't have anything to do with the reboot.
The talk is that the post-reboot team will be an international group, but that seems to be based mostly on this logo: People are taking the "All New All Different" part as a reference to the All New All Different X-Men (the Giant Size #1 team), which was an international team. |

Saw a video where the narrator talked about things that he noticed in the trailer. He thinks that Thor will be stripped of his powers and stuck in HEL.....and won't be back until Ragnarok.
