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.]

Yerp.

And a good helmer won't hurt. It's not like Norton is chopped liver.

I haven't seen him in anything. That maze runner show looks like pure trash, but he might be good in it, who knows?

I've seen Maze Runner. It's not bad.

This guy wasn't bad in the movie, but I wouldn't consider him somewhat exceptional either. Who knows?

I thought Garfield was great as Spidey. /oddmanout

I love Garfield but I thought the writing for TASM was unmitigated garbage. Douchebag Peter "Tony Stark" Parker, death by chocolate milk Uncle Ben, and that hokey midnight construction worker pact were all cringeworthy to watch.. and I'm not even delving into ~~Spiderman 3~~ TASM 2.

Jamie · 02-10-2015, 06:06 PM

Yeah, the cast was clearly the best part of the Amazing movies. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to use Peter's parents should be punched in the dick.

I thought he was much better in the role.

Also thought any momentum gained in his first movie went to hell with the $3itstorm of a second one...

What happened? I missed it.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

Maybe he's talking about Terrance Howard's refusal to take a pay cut after his buddy Robert Downey, Jr. got a gigantic payday. then was replaced by Don Cheadle.

I haven't heard anything about Garfield having a falling out with Sony but who would even care? Amy Pascal is gone and the new president will put a new team in place.

Also, the actors don't have "relationships" with studios and studio heads, the agents are the people that handle all of that. A guy like Garfield could get a new agent in 15 seconds and be all good.

According to an article I read dissecting the Sony leaks, Garfield missed multiple events with the Sony bigwigs including one where he was supposed to be seated next to Sony Japan's CEO. Apparently this was the last push Pascal & company needed to look elsewhere.

I hadn't heard about that but that's a pretty outrageous demand. I would imagine that if that occurred and Garfield missed events, it was at the behest of the agent, not the actor.

Actors generally only do what their agents tell them to do.

Garfield was also openly critical of Sony's intervention in the post-production of TASM 2. It's possible he himself was looking to move on.

I don't know anything about him or his deal with Sony. I do know about some of the things that happened, the leaks, the hack and how it affected certain people, but Garfield wasn't one of them.

Regardless, Sony and Marvel were destined to move on. Kevin Feige has a vision for the MCU and since he didn't choose Garfield, it was unlikely that he'd return, regardless of some "missed dinner", which really sounds like a whole lot of hooey.
