D23 Expo: New Logo for Marvel Studio’s Tenth Anniversary + First Look at The Wasp

A new logo honoring the tenth anniversary of Marvel Studios was unveiled at this year’s D23 Expo.

The logo is set to play in front of next year’s MCU movies (Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and The Wasp) in celebration of the ten-year anniversary of the studio.

That’s right, its been almost ten years since the first Iron Man movie was released in 2008.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said: “I know we’re very proud of the last ten years and we want to celebrate that somehow. ‘Infinity War’ will, frankly, be that celebration.”

During the expo, banners featuring various characters of the MCU, including War Machine and Gladiator Hulk were spotted.

However, the most notable was our first look at the new costume for Evangeline Lily as The Wasp, alongside Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.

‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Trailer Description Released

A trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity Wart was shown at last weekend’s D23 Expo, and the bad news is: we probably won’t watch it until Thor: Ragnarok comes out.

However, we do have a detailed description of the teaser courtesy of io9 and Marvel’s Agent M.

Check them out:

The text ahead contains spoilers for every MCU movie released to date (including Spider-Man: Homecoming)

We’ll learn more about Thor and the Hulk in Thor: Ragnarok, but the Infinity War trailer opened with the Asgardian being flung against the windshield of the Milano, the ship commanded by Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) from Guardians of the Galaxy. “Get it off!” shouts Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), as though a particularly ugly bug had been smushed there.
Mantis (Pom Klementieff) brings Thor back to life, and he promptly greets out Guardians with an unfriendly, “Who the hell are you?” (To be fair, Star-Lord had just told his fellow Guardians, “This might be dangerous, so let’s put on our mean faces.”) It then seems like Thor joins forces with the Guardians to guide them to Earth, where we see the following things go down, in quick succession:
Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) seems to cut a flaming car in half. It looks like her beau Vision (Paul Bethany) might be trapped nearby, and to judge from their faces, something sad and bad is going down.
“Death follows him like a shadow,” we hear, as Josh Brolin’s ultimate villain Thanos is teased.
Suddenly, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki appears, cutting through flaming wreckage to grab the Tesseract, which holds one of the Infinity Stones. Is this what Scarlet Witch and Vision were trying to prevent?
Next, there’s a glimpse of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker on his school bus. The hair on his arms stands up. How’s that for some trouble-activated spider-sense?
“He’s come to us,” someone says, as some alien ships crash land on a wrecked Earth. A worried Mantis stands with Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, and the other heroes as the aircrafts approach.
“This does put a smile on my face,” intones Thanos, as Gamora (Zoe Saldana) takes in the wreckage of the room kept by the Collector (Benicio del Toro). More Infinity Stones pillaged.
And that’s when Thanos walks through a portal onto Earth — big and hulking and boasting a shit-eating grin. Star-Lord and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) leap into action, harnessing magic and airborne stepping stones. Even Spider-Man swings into action, wearing a cool new suit … perhaps the one teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming?
Briefly, we see Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who’s blond now, and Captain America, who’s bearded. Listen, I know the fate of the universe is at stake, but don’t we all feel a little refreshed after spending valuable time on an undercover makeover? Talk to Wonder Woman about that, she knows what’s up.
In the final moments, things get truly heightened. Thanos grabs Thor’s head in his meaty paw and regards it like a grape he’s about to smush. Maybe he saw that scary black-and-white episode of Twin Peaks and wants to practice storming radio stations and breaking open heads?
“You can run from it,” growls Thanos, “but your destiny still arrives.” And then he holds up one hand and seemingly destroys a planet far away in the sky — or, if this scene is taking place on Earth, our freaking moon — and heaves the remains of it at our Avengers in a single shot.

Avengers: Infinity War comes out on May 4, 2018.

First Look at Thanos’ Black Order Revealed at D23

We now know what Thanos’ henchmen will look like!

The Black Order is a group of villains raised and trained by Thanos (Gamora style) to do his dirty work for him.

Take a look at the gang:

The group revealed consists of:

Corvus Glaive: general of the Black Order. He has enhanced strength, speed and durability who uses a bladed pike that can cut through anything and makes him immortal when he holds it.

Ebony Maw: a genius telepath who uses a teleportation device and can control other people’s mind.

Proxima Midnight: Corvus’ wife. She’s an expert on hand-to-hand combat and super strength. Her lance transforms into unavoidable toxic light beams.

Black Dwarf: member of the Black Order who possesses super strength and impenetrable skin.

Does this mean that Gamora and Nebula will encounter some old friends?!

We also got a look at Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet:

Marvel has yet to cast the voices of the members of the Black Order.

Avengers: Infinity War wrapped filming on Friday and now the cast is heading to start production on the untitled Avengers 4.

It was also confirmed that Ramirez is playing Henry’s wife and mother of his child. “Dania Ramirez will be playing a different version of Cinderella,” said Kitsis. “If we remember Henry’s grandfather is Prince Charming [Josh Dallas], so we have the grandson of Prince Charming with a new Cinderella.”

Kitsis said that the new season will be set in Seattle, and flashbacks will take us into the Enchanted Forest. “Henry is in a new Enchanted Forest, with characters that we have seen before but with different tales.”

As for Storybrooke he said that “we may see it a few times throughout the year”  We’re going to follow him as he leaves home,” Kitsis shared, adding that Henry “wants to find his own story.”

“We’re going to follow him [Henry] as he leaves home,” Kitsis explained, which means we will see at least a little more of Jared Gilmore’s Young Henry.

The seventh season of Once Upon a Time is set to air this fall, and it will air on Friday nights instead of Sundays.

‘Cloak and Dagger’ Trailer Teases a Change in the Origin Story

 

Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger dropped its first trailer, and we’re here to fill you in and break it down!

Cloak and Dagger are a superhero duo appearing in the comic of the same name published by Marvel Comics.

Cloak a.k.a. Tyrone Johnson (played by Aubrey Joseph) has the ability to open a door to the dark dimension and send people into it, including him, which let’s Cloak teleport himself and others. The character has a hunger for light, which can be alleviated by either consuming the light of victims sent into the dark dimension or light produced by Dagger.

Dagger a.k.a. Tandy Bowen (played by Olivia Holt) has the ability to create “light daggers” that travel wherever she wishes. Her daggers can also cure certain people of drug addiction and drain living beings of vitality.

The TV show will follow Tyrone and Tandy, two teenagers from very different backgrounds who acquire superpowers while getting involved in a romantic relationship. Tyrone and Tandy’s powers work better when they’re together.

Here’s the trailer:

From what we have so far, the biggest change we’ve noticed is the origin story,

Cloak and Dagger originally got their powers after they were experimented on (Deadpool style) by a criminal chemist who was developing a new synthetic heroin. The duo were the only ones to survived and managed to escape the facility.

In the trailer, however, it seems like they get the powers from some sort of car/water accident where Tyrone helps Tandy escape, to then have them not see each other again until they’re teenagers.

In the description showed above, and based off the trailer, it seems like the powers of Cloak and Dagger will be stronger when they’re together. This would be another change from the comics.

We could also find an interesting easter egg in this trailer: Roxxon Corp (a Hydra-like oil corporation that is very prominent in the comics).

Bonus points for having an awesome shot and a clever easter egg in one frame.

The upcoming Freeform series is set to air in 2018.
