Marvel Action Figures for Netflix’s The Punisher and Jessica Jones

It looks like the characters from Marvel’s Netflix series are getting their own action figures. Hasbro revealed figures at Comic-Con last week for Jessica Jones and The Punisher. I’m surprised that there’s not a Daredevil figure here. I'm sure it will follow, along with Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and more, but this is what they’ve revealed so far. Each of the figures wonderfully captures the character. There’s no other information on the figures yet, but they are definitely coming.

Doctor Strange Figure Revealed By Hot Toys

One of the perks of  joining a blockbuster franchise seems to be getting your very own action figure. Seeing yourself immortalized in plastic and on a store shelf must be surreal, but that has nothing on getting your own Hot Toys figure.

Attention to detail in the costume and likeness departments is what Hot Toys is known for, and their recent reveal at San Diego Comic-Con is no different. At the Hot Toys booth, fans got their first look at the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe line of figures, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange - Trailer 2 from SDCC

We knew director Scott Derrickson was going to bring Marvel's Doctor Strange to San Diego Comic-Con this year, but we weren't sure exactly what he'd bring with him to show off to the rabid fans in Hall H. Now we know: it's a new trailer that doubles down on the psychedelic visual style we saw hints of in the previous trailers. Benedict Cumberbatch continues to look like the perfect cinematic embodiment of the Sorcerer Supreme, and this new trailer shows off a lot more of his story and the supporting players who will be involved. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

Concept Art For GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Disney Ride, Which is Replacing Tower of Terror

Here's some brand new concept art for Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout!, the upcoming Marvel-themed ride that will replace Disneyland's Tower of Terror. We wrote about this back in May, but tonight the ride was confirmed on the Hall H stage at San Diego Comic-Con during Marvel Studios' presentation.
Here's the relevant info about the new ride, straight from the official press release:

Debuting in summer 2017, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! will take Disney California Adventure park guests through the fortress-like museum of the mysterious Collector, who is keeping his newest acquisitions, the Guardians of the Galaxy, as prisoners. Guests will board a gantry lift which launches them into a daring adventure as they join Rocket Raccoon in an attempt to set free his fellow Guardians. The new attraction will transform the structure currently housing The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ into an epic new adventure, enhancing the breathtaking free fall sensation with new visual and audio effects to create a variety of ride experiences. Guests will experience multiple, random and unique ride profiles in which the rise and fall of the gantry lift rocks to the beat of music inspired by the film’s popular soundtrack.

Marvel’s Doctor Strange made a huge splash at SDCC ’16, showing a clip and releasing a new trailer, but they weren’t quite done there. Through the official Doctor Strange Twitter account, we also got a look at a brand new one-sheet for the upcoming film:

First Look At Vulture In Spider-Man: Homecoming

One of the earliest rumors floating around for Spider-Man: Homecoming was who the villain or villains were going to be. Right before the title was revealed, word got out that Vulture was being considered to be the main villain, and shortly after Michael Keaton was approached. After initially turning them down, he got his payday and is officially in the role. As the we got plenty of set photos from the shoot in Atlanta, we have yet to see a look at Vulture, until now.

Following the close out of their Hall H panel, the official Spider-Man Twitter account posted the following piece of concept art, showing Spidey going head to head with a much different iteration of his newest foe.

Marvel News - New Logo

The New Marvel Official Introduction And Logo

You know that you are at a Marvel Studios film when the Marvel flip-book reveals the logo. For years, it has been the same flip book, showing comic pages until the red and white logo appeared. To start the festivities at San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Marvel revealed a new introduction and logo, as seen in the video above. Rather than classic comic-book panels, this image shows the MCU feature film characters that we have met through the years.

Black Panther (News)

In addition to revealing the roles for a series of cast members in Hall H of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Marvel appears to be revealing a series of new logos for the upcoming movies, and themselves. The Black Panther Logo is looking fierce!

This all-star cast, which will include Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan joining Chadwick Boseman took the stage, giving us a first look at the team that will bring Wakanda to life when they start filming next year.

Captain Marvel (News)

Disney and Marvel Studios are currently doing their epic Hall H panel right now at San Diego Comic-Con. And one of the big news items expected was the official reveal of the actress playing Captain Marvel. As expected, they have announced that Acaemy-Award winning actress Brie Larson will take on the role of Carol Danvers in this Marvel epic. Earlier in the year, a rumor surfaced that newcomer Emily Carmichael may have landed the Captain Marvel directing gig, and that rumor was also confirmed today

It's worth noting that Kevin Feige previously admitted that Captain Marvel was included in an early version of the Avengers: Age of Ultron script, but they didn't want to introduce her as a "fully-formed hero" before fans got to know how she came to be. However, last month, Avengers: Infinity War directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo let it slip that Captain Marvel will be featured in Avengers: Infinity War, which starts shooting this coming November. We don't know for sure if the deal Brie Larson is negotiating will include a role in Avengers: Infinity War as well, and that wasn't revealed today.

Nicole Perlman (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Meg LeFauve (Inside Out) are writing the script for Captain Marvel, but there is very little we know about the story yet. Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, first debuted in 1968's "Marvel Super-Heroes" #13. She was a U.S. Air Force security chief who is transformed into Captain Marvel following an explosion that involved Kree technology. Among Captain Marvel's powers are superhuman strength and the ability to fly after her DNA was infused with a Kree alien. It's possible that we could see Captain Marvel get her powers at some point during Avengers: Infinity War Part I, which arrives on May 3, 2018, 10 months before Captain Marvel debuts on March 8, 2019.

Marvel TV - Luke Cage

For many people following and attending San Diego Comic-Con, the majority of their focus falls to Hall H on Saturday that typically brings plenty the biggest news from the four day event. However, the other three days can and should provide some more news. For Marvel, this means rolling out the likes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Luke Cage. The latter had their panel today and after promoting the series with a SDCC exclusive poster and not one, but two new images, we all hoped they were building towards our first real look at the series.

Marvel TV - Defenders

The past few weeks have been slow on the Marvel side. Outside of a few quotes here and there, there has not been much to report on. But man did Marvel change that up over the last hour. What was supposed to be a Luke Cage panel turned into so much more. Daredevil has been renewed for a third season, Claire Temple has been seemingly confirmed to return in Iron Fist, and the first trailer for Luke Cage was released. If that was not enough for you and wanted to know even more about the upcoming Netflix slate, then don’t worry, Marvel’s got you covered yet again.
Marvel debuted the following teaser video for The Defenders and although it is not much, it does confirm a 2017 release for the series. And it also pretty much confirms the Hand. Check it out below!

The Defenders will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2017.

Marvel TV - Iron Fist

Fans expected excitement from the Marvel Netflix panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year, and Marvel delivered. While we expected lots of videos for Luke Cage, we also got the official announcement of Daredevil Season Three, Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, and a teaser for The Defenders.
To top all of that off, Marvel ended the evening wit our first look at Finn Jones as Iron Fist.

Marvel (News)

A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that Marvel would be unveiling a 13-foot bronze statue of Captain America at San Diego Comic-Con before heading to Steve Rogers' hometown of Brooklyn, New York. Well, today was the day of the reveal, and we've got an official photo of it for you along with the details behind the statue.

You can read all about the statue and the event information in the press release below:

Since his creation in 1941 by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, Captain America has gone through numerous evolutions, butalways remains as one of the world’s most influential and inspiring Super Heroes. Kicking off a new phase of the year-long celebration of 75 years of Captain America, Marvel Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media have unveiled a slate of heroic activations taking place at San Diego Comic-Con and beyond to honor the First Avenger, along with a wide range of celebratory merchandise.

Headlining the Captain America 75th anniversary celebration, Marvel has collaborated with high-end collectibles maker Comicave Studios to create a one-of-a-kind Captain America statue that will be displayed at the Marvel booth #2329 at Comic-Con International on July 20. Comicave Studios worked closely with Marvel artists in New York and a Brooklyn-based sculptor to design the bronze tribute, standing at over 13 feet and weighing 1 ton. The statue will continue to stand tall on the show floor throughout San Diego Comic-Con for photo ops with fans, and 1/12-scale bronze replicas of the statue will be available for purchase. Plus, a custom comic book was created by Marvel Publishing writers and artists to integrate the statue into new storytelling.  This one-of-a-kind comic will be available in limited quantities at San Diego Comic-Con and future Captain America events.

Following SDCC, the commemorative statue will journey via truck across the country to Brooklyn, NY – the hometown of Steve Rogers – for a limited engagement in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Fans can follow the truck along its cross-country route through photos on social media sites like Marvel and StyledByMarvel Instagram. The statue will be on display in the Children’s Corner of Prospect Park for a two-week temporary installation, kicking off with a dedication ceremony and community event on August 10th from 1-3pm. In the evening, a special viewing of the recent blockbuster film, Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, will take place in Prospect Park as part of the culmination of the Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams’ “A Summer Movie Under the Stars” program, which will be airing four Captain America-focused movies every Wednesday from July 20th to August 10th.

“To the rest of America and the world, he’s Captain America; to us, he’ll always be Steve Rogers, ‘just a kid from Brooklyn,’” said Borough President Adams. “Brooklyn is proud to be the base of celebrations for Cap’s 75th anniversary, which will be capped by a larger-than-life statue traveling around our borough — befitting of this larger-than-life character. Prospect Park is the place to be this summer to enjoy the Captain America!”

After the half-month stop in Prospect Park, the Captain America statue will move to the plaza outside Barclays Center on Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues for September, during which several Marvel fan activations take place. From late October through the remainder of the year, the statue will adorn the soon-to-be-opened Bed Bath & Beyond® in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Fans of all ages will enjoy a specially re-designed statue base, for heightened interactivity and photo opportunities with Captain America, as well as see and shop for a variety of unique Marvel items, including limited quantities of scaled replicas of the bronze statue itself.

“Since 1941 Captain America has remained one of the most influential Super Heroes in comic book history,” said Paul Gitter, senior vice president, licensing, Marvel at Disney Consumer Products. “He has evolved as a character throughout the years, but remains constant as a moral compass within the Marvel Universe and leader of the Avengers. The tribute statue and other activations are the perfect way to honor 75 years of this iconic Super Hero and to celebrate the borough of Brooklyn in New York City.”

Also joining the 75th celebration at San Diego Comic-Con are Marvel’s leading merchandise partners including Hasbro, Funko, and Jakks Pacific who will be commemorating “Cap” through new collectibles. As previously announced, Comicave Studios will also be offering different scales of replicas of the bronze statue itself at San Diego Comic-Con.  Additional licensees including Mad Engine, Mighty Fine, Freeze, C-Life, Her Universe, What’s Your Passion, Nick Graham, Café Press, Jay Franco, Kiddesigns, HJC Helmets and more will all feature new Captain America merchandise at major retailers this Fall.  These collections will highlight Captain America’s iconic shield and cover categories including apparel and accessories for kids, women and men, home goods, electronics, and toys. There will even be new Brooklyn-themed artwork available for a range of apparel and accessories.

There's also a special tie-in comic that will incorporate the statue into the continuity of the Marvel universe. The comic will be available at SDCC, and there are also special Captain America events that will take place in the near future.

Doctor Strange - Poster

New Doctor Strange Poster Spotted In The Wild

Even though it's only a low-resolution quality, Cooper Hood of MCU Exchange has spotted a new poster for Marvel's Doctor Strange at his local movie theater.

It features Doctor Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbath) standing in the loft of his Sanctum Sanctorum, with his backlit from the light coming through the Window of the Worlds (also known as the Anomaly Rue or the Seal of the Vishanti). This window protects the building from intrusions from the occult and keeps the public safe from the mystical artifacts contained in the building.

Since Doctor Strange will be showcased at San Diego Comic-Con this year, I'm sure we'll get a much better look at this poster very soon.

Avengers: Infinity War (Thanos)

First Look at Thanos In The Avengers: Infinity War

It has been a few years since The Mad Titan known as Thanos first appeared very briefly in a post credit scene in The Avengers. Ever since, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been building him up with little teases, all leading up to Infinity War in 2018. Thanks to the visual effects company Ironhead Studio, we now have a new look at Thanos.

The studio released the new look at Thanos on their various social media channels yesterday, and the have been circulating like wildfire on Twitter ever since. The photo features a front facing shot of Thanos, showcasing his classic armor, and his no nonsense look. What is perhaps most notable though is that this look appears to be based a lot more in the practical effects realm, as opposed to being almost entirely CGI, and the results are very compelling.
