Hey, everybody! Got some big news today! Well you can probably guess from the picture above that it's going to be about the Guardians of the Galaxy. I got some other cool stuff to show you guys from Comic-con.
Before I do anything else though! I have the new title for the second Avengers revealed at Comic-con. The title is: Avengers: Age of Ultron. So we can all guess who the villain's going to be right? But I'm not sure they naming it this after the recent comic series also named Age of Ultron. But who cares?! We get to see Ultron! Which leaves the question: what about Thanos? He's probably going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy.
So anyway, I got a list here of all the actors for the Guardians. So let's just go ahead and do that:
- Chris Pratt -- Peter Quill/ Star-lord
- Zoe Saldana -- Gamora
- Dave Bautista -- Drax the Destroyer
- Lee Pace -- Ronan the Accuser
- Michael Rooker -- Yondu
- Karen Gillian -- Nebula
- Djimon Hounsou -- Korath
- Benicio del Toro -- The Collector
- Glenn Close -- Nova Prime
Pretty big cast so far. But we have yet to find out whose voicing Groot and Rocket Raccoon.
And above is some concept art from Comic-con. I'm hoping that they'll make Groot a bit bigger. I'm also wondering how they'll do with animating a raccoon. After all we've never really seen anything like Groot and Rocket before in the Marvel movies. This movie will also be a lot different than the other Marvel films. I can't help it but, it has this sort of Star Trek feeling. So far though, the concept art looks pretty amazing and I think they got some decent actors.
So a lot of cool Guardians news. We got Nebula (who is rumoured to be Thanos' granddaughter) and some Kree characters. I guess that Lee Pace is already done with his Thranduil role from The Hobbit if he's able to do this already. So that's pretty much everything I've got for Guardians. Next up is Marvel's newest TV show premièring on ABC: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
So at Comic-con, the audience was told they couldn't show them any clips from the show... They were going to show the whole first episode instead. Apparently, it sounds like it's going to be an awesome show. But they didn't explain why Coulson is still alive. They also didn't confirm is Director Nick Fury will be in the show. But Maria Hill will. Even though all the Chitauri died in a Phantom Menace style in the Avengers, their tech will probably play a very big part in Agents of SHIELD.
I also can't stop thinking about that one guy I found in the Agents of SHIELD preview from our last episode. From the looks of it he's possibly red-skinned and has some pretty fancy armour with an Asgardian look. Here he is again if you've forgotten from last time:
By the way, he's picking up a chair or table. This is a hologram and Agent Ward isn't actually in the room with this guy. From Ward's surprised look, it seems this is his first time seeing this. It's possible he has reddish skin but it was hard to tell from the video. So the mystery remains: who is this guy? Coulson did say, "...the strange..." as the character was on-screen so... maybe...Doctor Strange? Possibly, but the main focus of the show is SHIELD, so I doubt there will be any really powerful heroes.
So anyway, some smaller news. First off, I got a list here of confirmed characters for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes:
- Gambit (YES!)
- Beast
- Elektra
- Madame Hydra
- Iron Patriot
- H.E.R.B.I.E.
- Thing
- Invisible Woman
- Jean Grey
- Venom
- Green Goblin
- The Leader
- Saber Tooth
- Storm
- Punisher
- Squirrel Girl
- Silver Samurai
- Doctor Octopus
Yeah, that is a HUGE list. Personally though, I'm just glad Gambit is there. All of the characters have some pretty awesome abilities. But the character who tops them all has to be Stan Lee. He can web shoot, turn into Stan-Hulk, use a Cyclops/Human Torch attack, and a bunch of other stuff. He's like the ULTIMATE MINIFIGURE. And I'am very excited for this game. I've played all the LEGO Star Wars games, both LEGO Batman games, LEGO City Undercover, both LEGO Indiana Jones games, but I think this one is going to top them all. If the DC fans don't think so, then do you know what this game has that the Batman ones don't? (And every Batman game in history?) DEADPOOL. Oh, and by the way, it is confirmed Nolan North will be playing Deadpool for LEGO MSH. So this is a game to get really excited for and make sure you pre-order it! Here's the latest trailer from LEGO MSH!
So some other quick news. A 3rd season of Ultimate Spider-man has been confirmed. In the beginning of the season, Spidey will join Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor from Avengers Assemble. They'll be asking him to become an Avenger. But wait, wasn't this show all about Spidey teaching this new team? (Being an Avenger sounds a lot cooler though)
"We're making the Marvel Universe even more awesome with the introductions of Cloak & Dagger, Amadeus Cho, Ka-Zar and the animated debut of Agent Venom!"Says Jeph Loeb, who is Marvel's head of TV. So we'll see a lot more than just Spider-man in the coming months. I do think that they need to make a X-men show though...
Well, that's all Comic-con for now. Until then here is some places you can got to get more info.
- You can go here at Marvel.com to hear Joss Whedon speak about Age of Ultron.
- Head here to read more about Ultimate Spider-man Season 3.
- Or here, to see Loki himself take over Comic-con's Hall H.
- And here to read about Guardians of The Galaxy.
So thanks for reading! If you went to Comic-con this year, I hope you had a bunch of fun! I wasn't lucky enough to go this year. But thanks to Marvel.com I got some good news and I think this is going to be an awesome year for Marvel. I'm not sure I'll get part 2 posted before The Wolverine comes out so I will possibly doing a review episode for The Wolverine. Have an awesome week everyone!
