Pretty much all the big movie panels were yesterday, along with tons of footage that only the few thousand people who managed to get into Hall H got to see. But at least Marvel had plenty of news to go along with the shit we can’t see.

? Ben Kingsley is definitely playing the Mandarin in Iron Man 3.
? The official title of Thor 2 is Thor: The Dark World. I have no idea what this is referring to.
? The official title of Captain America 2 is Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Obviously I know what this is referring to. I kind of wish they’d kept the Winter Soldier storyline for movie #3 — I think it would be more effective if we’d spent more time with Bucky being dead — but I’m still looking forward to it.
? Edgar Wright showed off that Ant-Man test footage he made, and folks seemed to be impressed. Still no word when he’ll start filming it, though. 
? That’s Guardians of the Galaxy concept art above. Seriously, Rocket Raccoon is coming to theaters, people. Insanity.
