    SDCC: Marvel Studios Offers First Look at ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’

    San Diego Comic-Con is giving us the long-awaited look at what the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While they haven’t given away all their cards with D23 and Disney+ Day on the horizon, we still got a glimpse at some of their upcoming projects. As it turns out, fans lucky enough to attend Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation also got a tease of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

    The third entry continues not only where we left off with the team in Avengers: Endgame as well as Thor: Love and Thunder. James Gunn takes back his director seat to tell the final story of the current team, which consists of Star-Lord, Nebula, Drax, Mantis, Groot, and Rocket. While the footage is not being released online just yet, thanks to Twitter, we were able to get a good idea of what the footage contained.

    The trailer shown to the audience was set to The Flaming Lips‘ “Do You Realize?” and set up what is being described as a doomed love story. The footage not only showed the first look at Will Poulter as Adam Warlock, but it also gave fans a look at the High Evolutionary and baby Rocket. The trailer also confirmed that Chukwudi Iwuji will portray the High Evolutionary in the film. The actor also later took to the aisles of Hall H in full costume to join the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy cast on stage.

    Fans described the footage as very emotional, showing a reunion between Peter and Gamora, who is now leading the Ravagers. But it also hinted at Rocket’s origins, who Gunn described as having one of the saddest stories of the bunch.

    SDCC: Marvel Studios Reveals Its Next Two Avengers Films

    As part of Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation at SDCC ’22, One-Above-All Kevin Feige revealed the titles of the studio’s next two Avengers films. As part of Marvel Studios Phase 6 slate, fans will be treated to Avengers: Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars.

    Following the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios began easing into what is now known as the Multiverse Saga. Throughout the last two years, projects such as Loki, What If…?, Spider–Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness have introduced the concept of the multiverse to MCU fans and, after months of uncertainty about where the overarching story is headed, Feige has made it very clear. Integral to the two titles is Jonathan Majors‘ Kang, who was first introduced as a Variant referred to as He Who Remains in the finale of Loki. Set to appear next in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, Majors, in the guise of multiple Variants, will serve as the MCU’s next big bad, ala Thanos.

Luckily, things slowed down a bit to take a little emotional break to give the cast and crew of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 some time to reflect on their potentially last entry.

So, we shouldn’t expect every member to potentially be replaced if the franchise continues after all.

    Iwuji walked out on stage decked in what is assumed to be his High Evolutionary outfit in the film.

    Iwuji was one of the breakout stars of Peacemaker and to see him make the jump to an MCU film is exciting. For those who are unaware, the High Evolutionary is a Marvel character with ties to the mutants and other characters in the cosmos. It seems that the character has been reimagined to be the creator of Rocket Racoon in the film.

Well, now that the wait is over we got a few glimpses at some already well-established projects such as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

    According to those in attendance, the first footage from Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was featured in a reel made just for the convention. The brief teaser reportedly included glances at Bill Murray’s unnamed character, the Quantum Realm, and Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conquerer. Apparently, the teaser was heavy on the idea all roads lead to conquering. Another small detail confirms Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang will have a new job as an author when fans see him next. At one point, Kang speaks to him and says:

    “You’re an interesting man, Scott Lang. You’ve lost a lot of time. But time, it isn’t what you think.“

    The villainous MODOK also makes his first appearance in the trailer. His shot is said to be very quick, only revealing his large mechanic head. No discernable actor could be seen as the character.
