SDCC '13: Mighty Marvel (With VIDEO)

Marvel's Comic-Con panel featured quite the line-up

There was no for Q&A for Thor: The Dark World, instead actor Tom Hiddleston showed up dressed in full Loki costume appeared in character to introduce new footage from the "Thor" sequel.

The footage reel saw Sif (Jamie Alexander) and the Warriors Three in a fight in a rural village when Thor crash lands and takes on a rock monster. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) punching Loki in the face, Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and Heimdall (Idris Elba) warning of the coming dark, romance between Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane both in Asgard and on Earth, and Loki betraying his brother again to the point of seemingly cutting off Thor's hand.

Thor 2 hits theaters on November 8, 2013

Chris Evans Sebastian Stan Emily VanCamp  Scarlett Johansson Anthony Mackie Samuel L. Jackson and directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo all showed up to promote Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Black Widow is said to be a big part of the movie, since she and Steve Rogers have been running missions together for some time before film begins. As a result, they're on morally opposed and yet there's a fun "odd couple" style relationship between them.  Mackie's Falcon is a team partner as well.

Jackson talked about the manipulative Nick Fury, and that "every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie".

Studio chief  Kevin Feige says the film is fairly close to the acclaimed comic storyline The Winter Soldier.

The footage included shots of Captain America and Crossbones (Frank Grillo) fighting, Falcon flying, the SHIELD helicarrier crashing, and the Winter Soldier grabbing the Captain's shield.

Cap 2 will hit theaters April 4, 2014

With just two weeks worth of filming completed in London so far, the cast "Guardians Of The Galaxy", including Chris Pratt as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Karen Gillan as Nebula, two-time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou as Korath, Benicio del Toro as The Collector, John C. Reilly as Rhomann Dey, and director James Gunn showed up.

Pratt says his character is a jerk who goes around space thinking he's a charming rogue. Ultimately, he finds a higher calling by joining this team.

Bautista says he's well aware he's more inexperienced than the rest of the cast, but is learning by working with Gunn and playing off the other actors.

Gillan showed up with a completely shaved head which is required for the role. del Toro says he hasn't started filming his scenes yet and the other villains couldn't really talk about their roles. Hounsou however confirmed his character has a connection to Thanos.


Despite only a few days of footage in the can, a clip was screened which has a much more casual and comedic tone.

Reilly's character reportedly appears in the clip that featured the Blue Swede song "Hooked On A Feeling".

The film arrives August 1, 2014.
