Hasbro and Marvel held their panel for their various action figure lines and there were some surprises including a promise to return to Marvel Legends in a big way in 2012. I take back what I said in this post, but I hope we are back to full waves of single figures and not these 2-packs. Its certainly a way off, but any news is good news at this point.
In the meantime, lets look at some of the big reveals for everything else they had to talk about after the jump!

During the Marvel Studios Panel fans got to see clips of both Captain America (which only has 5 days of shooting so far) and Thor (which is much further along), but the talk of the show was the entire Avengers cast on stage.

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk. Joining them was Director Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige
Whedon announced “I’ve had a dream all my life, and it was not this good! …and I am going to blow it!”
The movie is nowhere near filming yet, and even further from release, but with the role of Bruce Banner recast for the 2nd time in a decade, its one step closer to being reality.
Hasbro continues to show us that Marvel Legends are simply an after-thought now during preview night when they showed us the 3 2-packs we voted on last year. The winners of that poll were Black Widow, Valkyrie and Deadpool. Deadpool will be packaged with Warpath in his current X-Force. There will be a variant pack where Deadpool will be wearing his X-Men costume from Cable and Deadpool. The variant version of Warpath will feature his more traditional costume.
The second 2-pack is Black Widow with Winter Soldier. The variants have Black Widow in a grey outfit with shorter hair, while Winter Soldier has longer hair. The third pack is Valkyrie and yet another Hulk figure. No word if there is a variant pack for those two.
No other Marvel Legends were seen during Preview Night. I will be genuinely surprised and happy if more are revealed over the next few days. These figures should start showing up in October as Toys R Us exclusives
Hasbro had lots of new Super Hero Squad assortments on display. I couldn’t really tell you whats new and what isn’t, but some of the multi-packs fascinated me. The one above includes Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Loki, Enchantress, and a Frost Giant! Notables single figures (from the 2-pack assortments) include MODOK, Taskmaster, Spiral, Bucky Cap, Ronan the Accuser and Thanos.
A full gallery of Marvel’s display from Preview Night can be found here at TNI where I mirrored some of the images from.
Chun-Li, Trish, Super Skrull and Dr. Doom make their Marvel vs Capcom 3 debut in this trailer that surfaced today.
Discuss Marvel vs Capcom 3 on our forums here.
This weekend Marvel is going to be showing off posters for their next two big movie offerings. Captain America and Thor concept art posters will be available from Marvel Studios and Paramount.
If you can’t make it to the show, or fear you’ll simply be lost in the vast expanse of one of geekdom’s biggest weekends, then you’ll be happy to check here to see the full artwork on each poster. Captain America takes to the streets of World War II Europe, and The Mighty Thor swings his hammer at rival Loki. Neither of these are direct stills from the movies, but will give you a really good idea what to expect.

By now its well known that Chris Evans is Captain America, but we didn’t know what the costume would look like. Cap has had a few different looks over the years, and any translation from page to screen is sure to have some changes thrown in. Obviously Iron Man and Spider-Man went through a movie makeover, but still stayed very true to the comic origins.
AICN has posted 4 images of what are supposedly the costume designs for Steve Rogers. The images have been independently confirmed as legitimate.
What do you think, true believers? Is this the real deal? Is this everything you would hope for in Captain America and The Avengers?
Marvel.com has posted the very first screenshots from gameplay of the forthcoming and highly anticipated Marvel vs Capcom 3. The screenshots even have some added commentary mostly explaining that they wanted this to feel like a moving comic book and many of the effects are a result of that. Check out the link for all the original commentary or look at the screenshots after the jump and let us know you think!
