Annual festival Comic-Con I rightfully won an important place in the hearts of people – over the past five years, he has become the main event for lovers of comics, cinema, series, cosplay, animation … and games, of course!

This year Comic-Con was held in San Diego from 24 to 27 July. The name follows that the convention seems to be dedicated primarily to comics, but in recent years it has incorporated everything related to mass culture. Of course, as last year, they did not fail to arrange another round Marvel And DC In the battle for the minds and hearts of superheroes fans. Everyone was able to surprise!

News Marvel

Last year Marvel powerfully shook fans with a whole “combo” of vivid announcements – self -presentation of the actor Tom Hiddleston In the role of Loki with an epic monologue on the stage, the announcement " Avengers 2 "And presentation" Guardians of the Galaxy "(By the way, we have a special material for you about them), during which the audience even shown a small fragment from the film.

Who put the madman on the stage? Loki's speech from last year's Comic-Con has collected approximately 3.6 million views.

This year everything was somewhat more boring and even, perhaps, predictable. Showed the first post of the film " A man-man "Whose release is scheduled for July 2015. The same poster, apparently, will become a "post" of the future film. Filming will begin in August this year, the main roles will play Michael Douglas , Paul Radd And Evandelin Lilly.

Photos from the Pan-Man panel, on which the actors talked about their characters in the future film. Competitors in the person of DC their actors during the presentation " Batman against Superman »Such luxury was deprived.

At Marvel we were attracted by the publication of an epic canvas on the theme of the film " Avengers: Era of Altron ", Composed of eight fragments. In parts! Throughout four days, Comic-Con, the company published two fragments of a huge poster daily, each of which was dedicated to one of the superheroes of the Avengers team. In the upper row: mercury, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk. In the lower row: Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch and Falcon Eye. Somehow they fight with the army of robots, known as Iron Legion, in a fully assembled “comic-head-headed”:

Behind closed doors showed a new trailer " Avengers: Era of Altron ", And the general public presented a new frame from the film, demonstrating how the heroine Scarlett Johansson controls the latest model of the Harley Davidson motorcycle with an electric motor. Why in her hands the shield of Captain America? Intrigue!

And here is the electric bike Livewire. He was brought to San Diego as an honorary exhibit.

Instead of a trailer " The era of the altron ", Marvel made the teaser of the new season of the animated series" Avengers, general collection! "(Avengers Assemble).

The Marvel Heroes 2015 game trailer was shown, but there are few details so far.

And another announcement – next year the new television series "starts" Agent Carter ", Continuing a short film of the same name, which is available in Blu-Ray Iron Man 3. The names of the directors of the first four episodes from the planned eight are already known: they became Luis d’Espoto (first episode), brothers Joe And Anthony Russo (second and third episodes), as well as Joe Johnson (fourth episode), known for his directorial work in the "First Avenger: Another War".

Unfortunately, video materials of large projects and announcements were not officially published, and stolen “screens” were quickly removed from large video services at the request of copyright holders.

On this with Marvel, we go to DC and Zab Snyder!

News DC

In the focus of the world, DC was predictably filled with " Batman vs. Superman: at the dawn of justice ", Whose premiere is scheduled for May 6, 2016. The director of the film Zak Snyder came to the presentation of the film with the trinity of the main actors – Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman) and Gal Gadot (Wonderine). However, this “conspiracy” did not allow any of the three heroes to even approach the microphone – he was frightened that they would blame about the upcoming film. Instead, the first teaser of the future film was shown. It is not in the open access yet, but we will definitely publish the news with him as soon as it appears.

Instead of a trailer, fans presented new images of Batman and Superman and showed the first frame with a gadot in the role of a miracle woman, dressed in a new version of the costume. By the way, Affleck admitted that Batman's costume is very difficult to wear, it is stuffy, and the procedure for vestments or removal of BET-co-boom takes more than half an hour. The actress and model gadot did not complain about her outfit. We will not!

It became known that the final version of the script "Batman v. Superman" prepared Chris Terrio , already working with Ben Affleck over the film " Argo operation ". However, other plans for their cinema-united DC did not announce.

From other pleasant surprises from DC Universe – the announcement of nine (!) new comic book series within the global line The New 52. One of the producers DC Entertainment promised a separate long -awaited comic book dedicated to the villain of Lobo, and much more.

They also showed the trailer for the final part of the trilogy Lego Batman 3: Beond Gotham – “answer” DC on Marvel Heroes.

Snyder's trick, which made three stars of Hollywood cinema be silent for the entire press conference, was not the only oddity. On the first day of Comic-Con 2014, the famous director published on his Twitter a photograph of Henry Caville … in a Superman costume and with a sword from Star Wars. Rumors that Zach Snyder will take up the name of the Star Wars universe since 2012, but no clarification has followed either during or after the CC-2014. Perhaps a kind of supernatural way in the film “Batman vs. Superman” by the hero of Cavill will have access to the Jedi weapons? It is unlikely that rumors about the rethinking of the “seven samurai” Kurosawa in the Jedi spirit will be true!

Warner Bros., inseparably related to DC, applied heavy artillery. Here you have the trailer for the new season of the Arrow, where Ro’s al-Gol will be the main villain against the supernoon.

Boring teaser of the first season of the series "Flash". Flash exceeds!

The preview of the series dedicated to the charismatic antiherorus John Konstantin, on the contrary, succeeded.

By the way, we posted the material not so long ago about all four series DC Comics (Gotham do not forget!), be sure to read if you haven't https://milky-wins-casino.co.uk/ had time.

And here is the new image of Batgirl after the redesign – and it is magnificent! The last announcements of DC Entertainment on SDCC-2014.

Dwayne "Rock" Johnson Meanwhile, skillfully troll the fans. Once upon a time he hinted that Shazam would play in the new DC Comics films. The hint was extremely clear: “Just say the word,” he said in an interview. The word is obviously “Shase-a-am!!!". However, fans diverged in my opinion – after all, we can talk about Shazam and Black Adam. The "rock" reacted to these disputes simply amazingly. Whom Duine Johnson will still play, after Comic-con did not become clearer-we are waiting for the news!

According to personal sensations in the fight of super-giants, the forces are approximately equal-Marvel is still better than which films will be released until 2019 (we apply an unofficial schedule for release of Marvel films), and DC together with Warner Bros. They are betting on the television series format instead of movie blockbusters (from " Konstantin "BC" Gotham ").

That is, in fact, this is a draw. It is confirmed by the statistical data of the independent analytics Way to Blue: according to them, the audience is more interested in a new part of the Avengers (14% of Comic-con visitors), and only 7% would like to go to Batman against Superman.

But at the same time, according to the number of references on the Internet, the Avengers were lost to DC superheroes – during the third day the Somic Cons was mentioned 112 108 times, and only 62,542 mentions were found about the Era of Ultron.

And what of this you are waiting for you? Write in the comments!

Guillermo del Thor About brought to Comic Con Jaeger Pilot, with the help of Oculus Rift, anyone could "transfer" to a giant robot from the film "Pacific line".

Surprises and scandals

The main scandalist and rowdy of Comic-con was once the Mexican director Guillermo del Toro. He brought his new film on CC-2014 " Crimson peak ". Instead of a trailer, which is not yet, you can look at the details and Gothic scenery used on the set.

But the most interesting is ahead – studio Legendary engages simultaneously by several large -scale projects, including Warcraft. Del Toro in front of the crowd of fans attacked the producer from Legendary, Thomas Tull. Of course, with questions, but with not fists; He asked: “Hallbo 3? Ranks of madness? ", Referring in mind the future films of the studio. Tull joked: “Let's talk after you remove Pacific Rim 2 ", And questions about the fate of the long -expected films hung in the air. Legendary introduced, um, the trailer for the Warcraft logo.

Behind the closed doors showed the Warcraft trailer, and ordinary visitors only had to look at the props.

Well -known Balagur, a merryman and a violator of public peace of mind amused well Jack Black. At the presentation of the film " Goosebumps "He was carried away by the image of a shocking producer and even quarreled with cosplayers jokingly. That's what it led to.

George Martin told something about the fifth season of "Game of Thrones". Nine new characters will appear there, and the role of Martin himself in work on the new season will decrease significantly – the writer promised to focus on new books. Well!

The final surprise of Comic Con was the announcement of the comic book on the Fight Club universe (Fight Club). More precisely, a full-fledged graphic novel from ten issues, which will continue the history of the 1996 book and the film 1999. Comic Fight Club 2 will be produced under the auspices of Dark Horse Comics, the third largest comic book publishing house in the world, and the cult writer Chuck Palanik will again come for history. Apparently, on the cover of the debut number shows Tyler Derden, who will have a son Junior in continuation. It seems that Tyler and Marla Singer still got married … not without reason the ending of the film “Fight Club” hinted at this, whose fifteenth-year Fincher and Palanik celebrated directly to Comic-Con.

Cosplay and just photo
