Don't Expect Any GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 News At D23 This Weekend

We have the script finished and all the actors have read it, but we're not telling any of you guys anything yet.

Bastards.

I really hope they release some stills at least from this event, I need a sense of what Civil War will be like visually, same goes for Strange, throw some concept art into the public.

@LubedUp
You really think that they won't reveal the Spider-Man costume or show any footage with Spider-Man?

Ugh

I hope for Al Pacino as Quill's dad or big baddie.

GoTG was absolutely amazing. Watched it again last week. It's a great MOVIE, not only a CBM. 80's fun ride, like BTTF or Indiana Jones.

:( I wish we had some GOTG2 news...

Whatever. That movie is forever away. We got James Bond, Star Wars, BvS, Civil War, Ninja Turtles, Dr. Strange etc etc etc before then. So far from my brain at this point.

@xsoldier....I don't know why but I have a weird feeling al Pacino is gonna be lockjaw from the inhumans

I wasn't really expecting anything major for GOTG 2 at this year's D23. Although, since D23 is done every 2 years, GOTG 2 falls into that 2 year window so I expect at least a mention by Feige.

In 2013, Feige had cast members for Thor 2, Cap 2 and GOTG 2 at D23 as all those movies were in either post, filming or preproduction at that time. It was too early for AOU -so that production and its actors didn't attend. I figure that's the same for GOTG 2 which hasn't entered into preproduction yet. There should be no shock here about GOTG 2 not attending D23 this year.

Any Marvel fan out there KNOWS that the period between Ant-Man and Civil War is going to be the longest lull in activity for the MCU. It's why Marvel didn't attend SDCC. It's why this year's D23, Marvel isn't going to be a huge presence. We'll probably only get Civil War stuff and talk about Doctor Strange, (hopefully some concept art) which is in pre-production. There just aren't enough ongoing projects happening at the momemnt -especially when Marvel pushed back a 2016 movie, Doctor Strange, from July to November. This is Marvel's downtime but that will change shortly.

I expect a Marvel presence at NYCC. At least for Netflix, which should provide us a look at Jessica Jones and Daredevil season 2. A possible Marvel Television panel to talk Agent Carter season 2, premiering in January, with most likely Agents Of SHIELD attached. A probable Marvel Studios panel for Civil War. Every year Marvel didn't attend SDCC -they attended NYCC. So if Marvel Studios skips NYCC this year -it sets a precedent. We'll know if Marvel attends or skips NYCC by mid-September.

Next year in 2016, Marvel should be attending SDCC. Netflix should be promoting Luke Cage by SDCC since that series starts filming sometime this month. Unless Netflix is serious about premiering a Marvel show every 6 months and pushes Luke Cage to 2016 Fall/Winter. Marvel Studios should be promoting Doctor Strange and GOTG 2 since both movies are in post-production or filming. Sony should be promoting Spider-Man since that production would be filming. Not sure if Marvel will bring Thor: Ragnarok -they might save that for SDCC'17 or D23 that year.

In 2017, there will be a lot of productions to talk about. Marvel will probably skip SDCC that year and present at D23 and/or NYCC appropriately. Marvel Studios has Thor: Ragnarok in post. Infinity War Part 1 & Part 2 in post. Black Panther filming. That's 3 or 4 movies to promote. THAT's the D23 people will be talking about. This year -not so much. But during thie dry time for Marvel fans -anything is better than nothing.

I just want something about Civil War and Dr. Strange. I think the full trailer of Civil will be in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and that will be the best way to promote the movie.

@slickrickdesigns that spidey suit is awesome! i'd happily see that as his first outfit.

Eh. Never thought we would get anything from GOTG2 anyway. I assumed Civil War and Doc. Strange would get the most attention.
