Hall H was buzzing this evening for Marvel Studios’ Hall H showcase, bringing excited fans at San Diego Comic-Con a first look at what’s next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe—including huge news about Marvel Studios’ next two Avengers films.

“Deadpool & Wolverine”

The Hall H showcase kicked off with a celebration of “Deadpool & Wolverine,” in theatres now. A full choral performance of “Like a Prayer” welcomed the excited crowd with dancing Deadpool variants, which ended when Marvel Studios producer and president Kevin Feige looked for Peterpool amongst the variants, calling Rob Delaney, who stars in the film as Peter, to the stage. Delaney joined Feige as the showcase’s MC, mentioning the surprise “Deadpool & Wolverine” screening for con-goers Thursday, and the massive drone and fireworks show over San Diego’s Petco Park that followed. “Deadpool & Wolverine” has already broken box office records for an R-rated theatrical release, and the film’s opening officially pushed the MCU over the $30 billion box-office mark with 34 movies. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and directed by Shawn Levy, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is now playing in theatres.

“Captain America: Brave New World”

With Sam Wilson about to make his big screen debut as Captain America in “Captain America: Brave New World,” Delaney welcomed to the stage Cap himself, Anthony Mackie. Joining them were Tim Blake Nelson, Danny Ramirez and Giancarlo Esposito, who confirmed he is playing Sidewinder. Together, they revealed exclusive footage, and much to the crowd’s excitement, invited Harrison Ford to take the stage. Ford makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as President Thaddeus Ross. The story follows Sam Wilson, who after meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross, finds himself in the middle of an international incident. Sam must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red. Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: Brave New World” opens in theatres February 14, 2025.

“Thunderbolts*”

Highlighting Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts,” Delaney welcomed director Jake Schreier to the stage alongside stars Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan and David Harbour. The latter showed up in full Red Guardian garb, earning laughs and applause from the crowd, which was treated to a scene from the movie. Marvel Studios, and a crew of indie veterans, who definitely sold out, present “Thunderbolts,” an irreverent team-up featuring depressed assassin Yelena Belova alongside the MCU’s least anticipated band of misfits. Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts*” also stars Olga Kurylenko and opens in theatres on May 2, 2025.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps”

Feige returned to the stage to share details of the upcoming “The Fantastic Four,” which kicks off production Tuesday. Joining Feige on stage was director Matt Shakman and Marvel’s first family together on stage for the first time, Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm/The Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/Thing). They all shared some cosmic details about the upcoming feature film that sees Galactus and Silver Surfer target Earth for destruction—and revealed the movie’s full title: “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” But then Hall H was overtaken by none other than the Fantasticar soaring over the crowd, drawing massive cheers as the screens were taken over by a retro-futurist vision of New York City. Featuring music by Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino, Marvel Studios’ “Fantastic Four: First Steps” hits theatres on July 25, 2025.

“Avengers”

Just when the audience thought the show was over, Feige told them he had an Avengers update to share: Anthony and Joe Russo, renowned directors of four of the most successful Marvel movies and the studio’s highest-grossing directors with over $6 billion in global earnings, are set to return to Marvel Studios to helm “Avengers: Secret Wars” in May 2027 and “Avengers: Doomsday” in May 2026.

The reveal of “Avengers: Doomsday” left one major question: who would play Doctor Doom?

The directors pointed out that Doctor Doom is one of the most complex characters in the Marvel Universe, and needed a truly great actor to bring him to life. As Feige and the Russos prepared to close out the presentation, robed figures dressed in Doctor Doom masks took the stage and then parted to reveal Robert Downey Jr. who is set to return to the MCU. Hall H erupted, chanting “RDJ!”

The Russo’s company AGBO is set to produce both films alongside Marvel Studios. Stephen McFeely, known for his work on the “Captain America” trilogy and “Avengers: Endgame,” will handle the script.

“Being able to create stories and explore characters within the Marvel Universe fulfilled a life-long dream of ours, and we discovered a powerful connection with audiences in each film that we made. We’re thrilled to collaborate once again with Kevin, Lou and the entire Marvel team to bring this epic adventure in storytelling to new and surprising places for both the fans and ourselves”, said The Russo Brothers.

Following the groundbreaking conclusion of “Avengers: Endgame,” the Russo Brothers founded AGBO in 2017, aiming to innovate storytelling across film, TV, gaming, and interactive media. As an independent studio led by a collective of seasoned artists, AGBO has achieved unprecedented success, setting new benchmarks with 11 number-one global openings and over $7 billion in box office revenue.

AGBO’s production “Everything Everywhere All at Once” earned seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, while the “Citadel” franchise became Prime Video’s second-most-watched show in history. Their Netflix ventures, including “The Gray Man,” directed by the Russos and starring Chris Hemsworth, rank among the platform’s most-watched content, with “Extraction” emerging as their most successful franchise to date.

Currently, AGBO is in post-production on Netflix’s “The Electric State,” directed by the Russos and featuring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, based on the acclaimed graphic novel.

Marvel Studios’ DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE debuts in a lively manner with a record-setting $205 million from 4,210 theatres for Marvel/Disney. It gets a great 80% on the Tomatometer from Critics, and easily becomes the highest opening ever for the Deadpool franchise, besting 2016’s first film in the series which took off with $132 million. Wolverine’s highest franchise opening was 2009’s X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE with $85 million.

In second is TWISTERS with a $36 million second weekend for Universal Pictures, a total run domestically, of $155 million.

DESCPICABLE ME 4 is in third with $14.5 million for Universal Pictures, taking it to $291 million.

INSIDE OUT 2 takes $15 million for fourth spot, bringing its run to $613.7 million for Disney.

Fifth is LONGLEGS with $6.9 million for NEON/Elevation Pictures, a three week total of $58 million. This now has become American distributor NEON‘s highest grossing film ever, surpassing Best Picture winner PARASITE‘s $53 million.

It was a takeover! Marvel Studios’ DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman and Director Shawn Levy descended upon Toronto from New York, for a special fan event at Scotiabank Theatre. The venue was bought-out completely tonight for a special screening and red carpet which will be talked about for many years ahead!

This latest release from Marvel Studios already is drawing raves, where we see Deadpool pulled out of retirement to join forces with Wolverine – begrudgingly – to save the world from an existential threat.

The theatre – walls, concession stand and bathrooms even – were adorned completely in posters and branding from the Film. An exclusive live taping with eTalk at 299 Queen Street West also was held across the road from the theatre. Fans began queueing in the wee hours of the morning to get a spot to see the Film’s two leads.

Some highlights from the Red Carpet, which saw also surprise visits from Captain America himself Anthony Mackie, and Miss Marvel, Toronto’s own Iman Vellani.

HEINZ, Marvel, and Canadian icon Ryan Reynolds are dropping a spicy video bombshell in celebration of Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine”, (in theaters July 26, 2024). Inspired by the truth the fans and films’ stars can’t unsee, HEINZ brings to life a fan-fiction worthy, trailer-inspired video, featuring a custom voiceover from Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds! And in a major reveal, Ryan Reynolds himself posted the trailer on his social media, instantly gaining fans attention.

HOW IT COMES TO LIFE:
The video features Deadpool in his classic fourth wall-breaking style, coming to the realization that he and Wolverine look exactly like HEINZ Ketchup & Mustard bottles.

Deadpool can’t unsee the similarities, especially when bottles of HEINZ Ketchup and Mustard even appear on screen to replace the two heroes

Offline, the two brands take the condiment comparison to the next level with posters and billboards across North America (LA, NYC – including Times Square – Toronto, and Vancouver) all touting images of Deadpool & Wolverine adjacent to bottles of HEINZ Ketchup & Mustard.

Ryan Reynolds took to his Social Media to make this statement about the comparison: “I don’t spend much time on the internet. When my assistant faxed me a photocopy of a memo (he spelled it “meme” – ugh, assistants amirite?) wherein Deadpool and Wolverine were identified as a HEINZ Ketchup and Mustard bottle, respectively, I thought nothing of it and went back to my book and tea. But the faxes kept on coming! So, the idea was hatched to actually partner with HEINZ to bring this memo to life. Huzzah!” – Ryan Reynolds, actor, writer, and producer of “Deadpool & Wolverine”.

Today, Marvel Studios debuted a brand-new trailer for its highly anticipated feature film “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

Shawn Levy directs “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen.

Kevin Feige, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey and Simon Kinberg serving as executive producers. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” delivers the ultimate team-up throwdown on July 26, 2024.
