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.]

Honestly, and I know some folks will groan at this idea since I'm bringing it up again, but this was a golden opportunity for Marvel to incorporate a non-white guy as a lead. There are any number of women who would kill as Strange. Tilda Swintin immediately comes to mind.

By the time Thanos arrives, he's going to be battling a miniature army of white male superheroes.

Is it just me or are the diversity police unusually fixated on superhero movies? Like, nobody is saying that they should have cast a woman as Bilbo Baggins, or that the character Ben Affleck played in Gone Girl should have been a black guy.

Just you, actually.

And as far as Direckshun's point about it being an army of white guys, there will likely still be Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon (if he's not Captain America), Gamora, plus whoever they cast as the inhumans. There's also a possibility for Luke Cage if they dip into the character set from the Netflix stuff.

I really, really want this to work out.

Cage's character fits perfectly with this film version of the Avengers.

Cage doesn't trust the government, doesn't trust other "heroes," and lately has been the main Marvel character fighting for the little guy. Or at least the voice of the average guy.

He's just a dad trying to provide for his family who...****s up bad guys, reluctantly, for a living.

I hope they keep the Scarlet Witch around, too. Always liked that character.

But, why should they? There are many and more female bad asses in the Marvel Universe that they don't need to gender bend one of the most powerful and known characters.

The new Thor is a girl.

I know the Black Panther was also a girl at some point fairly recently.

That'd be Shuri, his little sister. She subbed in while he was injured.

They've already announced that the Netflix series will take place in the MU universe, so it's possible.

Also, I think it will ultimately be Bucky who takes over as Captain America. They foretold it in both movies, with shots of him (once as Bucky, once as Winter Soldier) holding the shield. The Falcon thing is just in the comics and, like many other stunts, will almost certainly be short-lived until Rogers gets back.

Because virtually none of them are making their way into the CU.

Post GotG, who all is making there way into CU lead roles?

Non-White Guy:
Black Panther
Luke Cage
Agent Carter
Jessica Jones
Captain Marvel

White Guy:
Dr. Strange
Daredevil

Oh, that's right. You're just blowing smoke again. Please tell me how 70% of new lead roles in the Marvel CU equates to "...virtually none of them are making their way...".

You are getting EXACTLY what you've been asking for. But no. You are still not satisfied and want to moan about it. Either declare your exact number/race/gender requirements for "non-white guys" or just . You're getting everything you've asked for.

Spider-man rumors heating up again: http://www.latino-review.com/news/ma...ery-much-alive

TLDR is that sony japan may be pushing for a deal with marvel, over the head of sony the studio.

Sony Japan thinks the Marvel deal for Spider-Man is still on the table and they want to renegotiate as a return to quality, the 60/40 split can be negotiated and Sony Entertainment’s October hard-line stance of wanting creative control is now mostly moot in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Spidey is my fave. I'd love to see a new set of his films on par with Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 of the 2000's.

Spidey is still insanely popular and his rogues gallery is probably only rivaled by Batman.
