Everything We Learned About The Future of Superhero Movies and TV Shows at Comic-Con 2017

Marvel and DC delight fans with their upcoming Superhero slates.

San Diego Comic-Con never fails to deliver spectacular hype for all things superhero. This year is no different with Marvel and DC showing up to showcase the future of their cinematic universe plans, while simultaneously easing fans fears over outrageous rumors. Both studios offered plenty of exclusive previews, leaked footage, and hilarious moments so let’s get right down into it.

Marvel is full speed ahead toward Infinity War

Marvel wasted no time getting to the heavy hitters with unleashing a brand new trailer for Thor: Ragnarok. The first trailer left a lot of open questions, but really did a wonderful job of showing director Taika Waititi’s signature flair. This new footage details what exactly we can expect from the movie. This isn’t so much a Thor film as it is a Thor and Hulk film. The two heroes are going to team up with Loki and newcomer Valkyrie (Creed‘s Tessa Thompson) to take on Hela (Cate Blanchet), the goddess of death. Apparently, Hela is a pretty big deal because she easily destroys Mjolnir and is trying to bring about Ragnarok which would be the end of Asgard. 

There were plenty of other character reveals including Surtur who looks like the cousin of Lord of the Rings Balrog who will be the fray when Ragnarok is finally going down. If you’ve gotten this far and haven’t checked out the full trailer, what are you waiting for?

Even if the individual series were all ranging in various degrees of quality, there is no denying the fun of seeing everyone team up for a common cause. The Defenders will be hitting Netflix on August 18th, so it won’t be too long now.

The other Marvel TV trailer was for Marvel’s Inhumans. Remember how this was originally going to be a movie within the MCU and got tossed around? Well, Marvel has been releasing more and more of this adaptation and well…

This is a lot better than the first trailer they showed. It still shows some wooden dialog from Ramsay B…Iwan Rheon, but it focuses a lot more on the action and well IMAX presentation. This launches in September so we’ll be seeing this very soon as well.
