Marvel also debuted an eye-popping Ragnarok poster that should make Sony feel even worse about that Spider-Man: Homecoming debacle.

The visual echo between this poster—featuring Blanchett’s death goddess, Hela, and classical depictions of the Hindu goddess of death (among other things), Kali—is only one of many layers to unpack in this impressive graphic.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: This follow-up to director Peyton Reed’s charming Marvel debut won’t come out until July 2018, so there was no footage to share with the Hall H crowd. But Marvel did break some massive news: Michelle Pfeiffer will be slipping back into an elaborate comic-book jumpsuit and defecting from DC to play for the other team. She’s been cast as Janet van Dyne, the original Wasp from the comics who, in the MCU version of the story, was lost to another dimension while fighting crime with her husband, Michael Douglas’s Hank Pym, leaving her daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) to grow up without her. The title Ant-Man and the Wasp likely refers to both Hank and Janet as well as Scott (Paul Rudd) and Hope.

Rounding out the cast are newcomers, including Walton Goggins—who has played villains for years on both television and in Quentin Tarantino films, and may menace Scott and Hope as a weapons mogul named Sonny Burch. Randall Park will play S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jimmy Woo, and Laurence Fishburne will appear as Dr. Bill Foster, a.k.a. Black Goliath, a scientist who grows rather than shrinks.

Captain Marvel: Marvel’s Kevin Feige dropped the mic on the Hall H panel last year when he announced that Brie Larson would be taking on the role as the first female Marvel superhero to headline her own film. This film, directed by Half Nelson’s Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck is a long way off (March 2019, to be exact) so there was also no footage of Larson to share. There was, however, some gorgeous concept art, which Marvel previously debuted to journalists in a behind-the-scenes tour back in April.

Feige also announced that Captain Marvel will be a period piece set in the 1990s and will feature Samuel L. Jackson’s eyepatch-wearing Nick Fury with both of his eyes. Captain Marvel will be fighting the Skrulls, which are classic alien villains co-owned by 20th Century Fox (it’s complicated). Larson wasn’t on hand to help break the news, though she was, endearingly, monitoring it all on social media.

In fact, Marvel didn’t go very heavy on talent at all this year, perhaps because it had just amassed an insane number of actors the weekend before at D23.

Black Panther: There may not have been a ton of Avengers on the scene, but there were an awful lot of Wakandans. The cast of Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, which will premiere next February, was on hand to debut a new poster (above) and a bunch of footage that was exclusive to the room. (So rare these days.) “I wanted to find a comic-book character who looks like me. The shop owner took me to Black Panther,” Coogler said of his history with the character, adding that the coolest thing about this hero is that he draws his power from the people around him. We can’t share the Black Panther footage here, alas, but for a sense of how well it went over, here’s the cast reacting in shock and awe to what they just witnessed.

The footage—which, among other things, featured Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa debuting a dramatic new way of donning his battle suit—got a massive standing ovation in the room. It was the biggest reaction of the day, until . . .

Avengers: Infinity War: Feige pretended the panel was over until the three Avengers in the room—Boseman, Hemsworth, and Ruffalo—as well as famous Hall H ham Tom Hiddleston stormed the stage to insist he show the Avengers: Infinity War footage that closed out last’s week’s D23.

The crowd was all riled up, thanks to Black Panther and these four handsome hype men, and reacted to the footage (once again, exclusive to the room) with thunderous applause and another standing ovation. Every single fan in the room surely went home happy with the knowledge that one studio still knows how to put on a show.
