Everything Marvel Studios Announced At Their SDCC Panel

7 Comments | Avengers: Doomsday, Black Panther, Black Panther 3, disney, Ghost Rider, Marvel, Marvel Studios | By | | 2 minutes of reading

Over  the weekend Marvel Srudios’ SDCC panel was one of the largest of the con, despite general public interest in the franchise continuing to flounder. Avengers Doomsday may be their last real chance for a rebound, but what have they got beyond that?

There are still some names that put butts in seats. Something like Ant-Man 4 probably wouldn’t do well, but Black Panther has yet to bomb. A third movie was announced at SDCC, with Ryan Coogler returning to direct and a third Panther putting on the suit. That’s right, Shuri’s time as BP was rather short. It turns out T’Challa has a son, who I don’t remember showing up in either movie at all. It may be a retcon, but it’s how we get a third movie. David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus, The Long Walk) has been cast and the movie is set for December 15, 2028.

Ryan Gosling showed up at the panel to reveal Marvel is working on a new Ghost Rider film and he’s been cast as Fire Skull Head himself. It’s a role that’s been associated with Nic Cage for so long I wonder if people will accept anyone else. We’ll find out sometime in 2028.

As for Avengers Doomsday, Marvel confirmed a few more cast members: Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter (I mean, she better show up if Steve Rogers is there), and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Actually Marvel didn’t outright say Deadpool was in Doomsday, but it’s been confirmed that it was really Reynolds in the costume, and I don’t see why they’d go to that much trouble if he wasn’t part of it.

Finally Avengers Endgame will be re-released in theaters shortly before Doomsday hits, on September 25, and contain some new never-before-seen footage and an exclusive look at Doomsday.

It's interesting to see the mixed reception around Marvel's announcements, especially with Avengers: Doomsday on the table. I think they're trying to pivot and inject some fresh ideas, but it does feel like they're also clinging to past successes. The sheer scale of the MCU makes it hard to keep that momentum going, and not every project lands as well as the originals.

I'm really curious about how they'll approach the storytelling this time. They've set a high bar, but it would be great to see them take some risks like they did with Guardians of the Galaxy or even some of the more experimental choices in Disney+. Do you think they'll be able to recapture that magic, or do you feel we're in need of something completely different from the MCU formula?

Marvel really thinks another Black Panther movie fixes everything. I liked the first one a lot but the second one already felt like it was missing something after Chadwick passed. Now they invent a secret son nobody ever mentioned before, just to keep the title going. That is such a lazy way to continue a story. I do not blame the actor, David Jonsson is good in what I have seen him in, but the writing choice bothers me. Marvel used to plan things years ahead, now it feels like they are making decisions one panel at a time. I want to be excited but I keep feeling like this franchise is running on old fumes instead of new ideas. Maybe Doomsday will surprise me, but my hope is getting smaller every year.

Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider is actually a good pick in my opinion. He has the face for something moody and serious. Nic Cage version was fun but also pretty cheesy if we are honest with ourselves. This could go a more serious direction and I am here for that. so they are just recycling endgame in theaters with a few new minutes added, classic money move, nothing wrong with that honestly, I would go watch it again just for the big screen feeling, doomsday better be worth all this hype though

Peggy Carter showing up does not surprise me one bit. Marvel loves bringing back old characters to trigger nostalgia instead of writing something fresh. It works on me every single time though, I will not lie. Hayley Atwell has always been solid in this role and I do not mind seeing her again, even if it feels like a safe choice rather than a bold one.

I think Marvel is trying to play it safe with these announcements. Black Panther is still one of the few series that people seem to care about, so making another one makes sense. I am curious how they explain T'Challa having a son because I honestly do not remember that either. Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider sounds like a strong choice. He has enough star power to get people interested, but I know some fans will compare him to Nicolas Cage no matter what. The Endgame re-release also feels like a smart way to build excitement before Doomsday. I just hope the new footage is worth buying another ticket for.

Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider is the biggest news for me. I have wanted Marvel to bring Ghost Rider back for a long time. I do not even care if it is Johnny Blaze or another version as long as they make the movie darker than most MCU films. Gosling can handle serious roles, so I think he could surprise people. I just hope Marvel does not fill it with too many jokes because Ghost Rider should feel dangerous.

Black Panther 3 is the one I am most interested in, but the story already has me asking questions. If T'Challa had a son all this time, they need to explain it properly. I do not mind passing the suit to another person because that has always been part of Black Panther, but it has to feel natural. David Jonsson is a good actor, so I think he deserves a chance before people judge the casting. I just hope the script is strong because that matters more than anything else.
