In a night overflowing with special guests and previews, these are the six major takeaways from Marvel’s Comic-Con takeover. Below, we’ve collected the seven best, buzziest clips that SDCC had to offer, which should please audiences of all stripes, whether you’re a fan of superheroes, anitheroes, or just damn good television in general.

Chadwick Boseman plays the titular hero while Michael B. Jordan is his arch nemesis, Erik Killmonger, and Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o plays the warrior Nakia.

British actor Tom Holland made his debut as the iconic webslinger in this year’s Captain America: Civil War.
