The movie reunites all three “meta-humans” in Snyder’s “Batman v Superman”: Wonder Woman, played again by Gadot; Batman, played by Ben Affleck for a second time; and Henry Cavill’s Superman.
The 6,500-plus audience, many of whom had queued overnight at San Diego’s annual film and pop culture event, were introduced to the lead cast of the “Black Panther” movie, directed by “Creed” filmmaker Ryan Coogler.
Much like the old fanfare which used images from a vast library of comic book images the new fanfare uses footage from Marvel Studios’ extensive catalog of movies and is much more fitting as the studio moves forward with its third phase of movies following the enormous success of this spring’s Captain America: Civil War. There was no official casting announcement for Bratt, but his name does appear in the text at the bottom of the Doctor Strange poster released during Comic-Con International: San Diego 2016. Mads Mikkelesen plays villain Kaecilius in the movie which is set for release in the United Kingdom on October 28.
Comic-Con was treated to a first look at Spider-Man: Homecoming which sees British actor Tom Holland as Peter Parker.
Margot Robbie’s comic book baddie Harley Quinn is one of the most hotly anticipated characters among all the films due to emerge from Warner’s “DC Extended Universe”.
Marvel closed things out on a high note, however, with an obligatory all-Marvel photo, including the new Captain Marvel herself Oscar-winner Brie Larson, who was greeted with a rapturous standing ovation.
Larson, 26, won the Best Actress Academy Award this year for her performance in hostage drama Room.
Costumed ravagers took the stage to help tease “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2“, out next year, as did stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista.

Disney also announced a new “Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout” ride, opening at California Adventures in the summer of 2017.
