At Marvel's animation panel at New York Comic Con today, animation exec Cort Lane dropped some big news… about some big news coming later.

That's right, everyone's favorite character (except Rich Johnston) is coming to animation in some shape or form, at some point in the future. If that sounds vague, it's because Lane didn't actually tell us what was happening. He just said that something was happening, and he would tell us later, before the end of the year.

It's like a teaser for a highly anticipated movie trailer, or like when Ales Kot says he's going to live in the woods for 3-4 months. You don't know exactly what's going to happen, but you're pretty damn sure there's going to be a great payoff.

Bleeding Cool ace reporter Hugh Sheridan is at the panel sending us breaking news updates. Check back later for a full panel report.
