Marvel Unveils Swathe Of New Superhero Films by Realslimshady(m): 10:19pm On Jul 21, 2019 |
Marvel has announced a bumper crop of 10 new superhero
productions at Comic Con.
Marvel studios president Kevin Feige, flanked by dozens of
Hollywood stars, revealed the post-Avengers roster of films to a
stunned hall in San Diego.
Many attendees at world's largest pop-culture fan convention had
camped out to reserve a seat for the event.
One major surprise was the announcement of Oscar winner
Mahershala Ali as Blade the vampire hunter, a role played by
Wesley Snipes in the 1998 film.
There was rapturous applause and screams as Ali took to the
stage to reveal he would take on the role of the day walker.
Natalie Portman will play a female Thor
Natalie Portman confirmed her return to a fourth Thor film -
Thor: Love and Thunder - reprising her role as Jane Foster, but
this time wielding the power of the Thor hammer.
"Feels pretty good. I've always had a little hammer envy," Portman
told the delighted crowd after being handed the hammer by
director Taika Waititi.
Portman's role is based on Jason Aaron's comic book series that
sees Jane Foster become the mighty lady Thor when Thor Odison
finds himself unworthy of picking up the hammer.
Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson will also return for the
film.
Report
Earlier the audience were teased with number of new productions
and sequels from phase four of the Marvel cinematic universe.
The first film to be announced was The Eternals. The cast includes
Angelina Jolie, and Salma Hayek appeared on stage in front of the
excited audience to talk about their new roles.
Jolie, who will play Thena, told the crowd: "I'm going to work ten
times harder because I think what it means to be a part of the
MCU, what it means to be an Eternal, to be part of this family. I
know what we all need to do."
"We've all read the script, we all know what the task ahead is
and we know what you deserve so we are all going to be working
very very hard," she added.
The Eternals are powerful beings who look human but have special
powers. The film has a release date of November 2020.
Shang-Chi
The first Asian American super hero film Shang-Chi was also
announced, and we now know who will play the lead role. After
months of castings Kevin Feige announced Canadian actor Simu Liu
had been confirmed to play the Kung-Fu master only a few days
ago.
Shang-Chi who was born to a Chinese father and an American
mother, first appeared in the Marvel comics almost 50 years ago.
Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings will also star Crazy
Rich Asians actress Awkwafina.
Report
Black Widow
After months of speculation, Marvel finally confirmed the first
details of the eagerly anticipated Black Widow starring Scarlett
Johansson as Natasha Romanoff.
The film has been in production for 30 days with a teaser trailer
showing early scenes in Budapest.
Johansson told the panel: "I get to play Natasha as a fully realised
woman, in all of her many facets, and I'm excited for fans to see
the flawed side of her."
A number of Marvel series were also announced which would be
available on the new Disney+ streaming service, including Loki with
Tom Hiddleston and Hawkeye starring Jeremy Renner and Kate
Bishop.
Feige ended the panel by telling a cheering audience that he did not
have time to talk about a host of other films.
"We didn't mention that we're making Black Panther 2, we didn't
mention the fact that Guardian of the Galaxies 3 is coming.
"We didn't have time to talk about Captain Marvel 2, and I didn't
have time to talk about the Fantastic 4 and there's no time to
talk about Mutants," he told a delighted crowd. |
