The Marvel Universe has unveiled some of its most exciting upcoming movies including old favourites and new characters, at Comic Con San Diego. Well, everything except for any of the original casts from “The Avengers” films, not that it mattered. The introduction of Chad Boseman as the titular hero of the new Black Panther movie got a rapturous welcome.

Today at Comic-Con, Marvel presented the second trailer for director Scott Derrickson’s (Sinister) origin story.
Brie Larson, 26, is to be the first ever female Captain Marvel.
The story introduces us to talented, arrogant NY surgeon Stephen Strange’s world is rocked when he’s badly hurt in a auto accident.
Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilising a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artefacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.
The initial thinking was that Ejiofor – who plays Baron Mordo – was going to play the villain, as the character is Strange’s arch-nemesis in the comics. “The truth is, anyone of us could be the Ancient One”.
Comic-Con was treated to a first look at Spider-Man: Homecoming which sees British actor Tom Holland as Peter Parker.
The scene showed focused in on Tilda Swinton’s The Ancient One teaching a reluctant Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch) about his insane new powers.
Marvel also fit in two other announcements during the panel: “Guardians” is coming to Disney’s California Adventure and Brie Larson will be playing Captain Marvel.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be released on November 18. By this trailer, however, that’s not the case.
Ben Affleck, the latest actor to don Batman’s cape and cowl, said he felt “tremendous amount of pressure” both starring in and directing the next standalone Batman movie. This year marks the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman’s debut in comic books.
