Not worthy of entire articles themselves, I'll throw some random Marvel news from SDCC into this thread.
-Marvel Studios regains the movie rights to Blade.
-Cebulski promised that the cast of "Runaways" have a place in the Marvel U as character like Nico will continue to show up in various Marvel titles, particularly now that heroes like Moon Knight and Daken live in Los Angeles. A full-on "Runaways" book will need to find the right hook for a reason the kids should be together.
-In a related "wait and see" moment, the CCO said that there are more plans for the heroes of Cosmic Marvel.
-On the movie front, Quesada soon showed a film clip that he claimed to have stolen from Marvel Studios. The short clip of Agent Phil Coulson conspiring with a fellow SHIELD agent over how to trick General Thunderbolt Ross into denying a deal they were offering him. The clip ended in static as actor Clark Gregg rushed the stage with several folks dressed as SHIELD agents to mock-arrest Quesada. The actor spoke to his developing role as one he was given initially by his neighbor Jon Favreau and then with each successive Marvel film his part grew (when offered a "Thor" role, his response was "By Odin's fucking hammer, yes!")
The actor then said the clip – titled "The Consultant" – is one of two short films that will be included in the "Thor" BluRay to flesh out the background of SHIELD. The second clip will be showing later this weekend at Marvel events. Gregg said he'll be voicing Agent Coulson – as an undercover high school principal – in the "Ultimate Spider-Man" animated show.
-Back to comics, Alonso pointed towards Cable, Hope and Scarlet Witch as the three big breakout characters for Marvel over the next year. Quesada said that sometimes Marvel doesn't know which characters will hit big until someone uses them in a book – Squirrel Girl being a prime example. Alonso then added that Hawkeye will be a major player
-After starting off with introductions, Joe teased the next wave of "Point One" issues slated for November saying that while the single issue stories for major Marvel characters will be stand-alone entry points, the books will also collectively sow the seeds for the next major crossover event next year.
