Marvel sprinkles some movie magic at Comic-Con

She’s celebrating her 75th birthday but she doesn’t look a minute older than the year of her creation in the early stages of World War Two.

It’s the first modern “Spider-Man” movie to be done with the supervision of Marvel Studios.

Hall H was then treated to a “mockumentary” by “Thor: Ragnarok” director Taika Waititi in the style of his vampire spoof, “What We Do in the Shadows”. It’s being co-produced by Sony Pictures.

The crowd applauded as Chris Hemsworth was shown with a nerdy roommate who helps him send peacemaking emails to Captain America and Iron Man during their “Civil War” dispute. The Academy Award-winning actress will portray the fan favorite when the film comes to theatres in 2019.

“It’s very, very different and the scale is something else”, Cumberbatch said. It will be directed by Scott Derrickson, written by Jon Spaihts and C. Robert Cargill, and star Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange / Doctor Strange, Chitewel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Rachel McAdams in an undisclosed role as Stephen Strange’s colleague, Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West, Mads Mikkelssen as Kaecilius, Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, and Benedict Wong as Wong, with Amy Landecker, Scott Adkins, and Zara Phythian in undisclosed roles.

Kurt Russell, also present for the panel, was confirmed as Star Lord’s (Pratt) father in a newly release trailer, resulting in a resounding cheer from the audience.

Disney also announced a new Guardians ride for its California park.

Oscar-winner Brie Larson is to star in Captain Marvel as air force pilot Carol Danvers, who gets special powers after an alien encounter. If you’re not caught up, we’ll avoid spoilers (for those, visit our Twitter), but one thing you can look forward to next season is the seeing Aladdin and Jafar in Storybrooke.
