- Marvel Zombies Release Date & Update
- Eyes Of Wakanda Release Date & Update
- Tease X Men 97 Season 2 But Not Too Much

Of those, only Eyes of Wakanda has any hope of containing content, characters which interest me; I do not, however, begrudge any of you your enthusiasm and excitement. "Play through!" LOL

 

[Rick Jones]

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man footage is what I'm most keen on seeing. I've been eager to see how it looks in motion, for a long time. Of the forthcoming shows, It also seems like it will be the closest to an old school, bright colorful Marvel comic brought to life.

Eyes of Wakanda has me intrigued, with the word of mouth and rumors going around.

I'm just a little indifferent to Marvel Zombies at the moment.

It would be really cool if there are any surprise announcements but right now, I'd be happy with new animation, designs and images.

I'm curious if they'll confirm if we're getting a lot of other heroes in the show .

I'm just a little indifferent to Marvel Zombies at the moment.

I hope it's better than the actual Marvel Zombies What If episode.

 

[Rick Jones]

Just saw this and thought it was funny. Apparently, Feige was spotted wearing a cap that some people are speculating is connected to Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. I would be pretty surprised.

View attachment 309705

pretty sure it's a future foundation suit I believe it was shown all the way back at sdcc 2022 (could also be anti-venom or maybe Clash?)

 

[Rick Jones]

Yeah, the left half looks like Future Foundation, which the Ricochet suit in the show looks like, bringing on their speculation.

FINAL PREDICTIONS/HOPES:
1. What If? Season 3 Release Date Is Revealed Alongside Exclusive Footage Is Shown To Attendees
2. X Men 97 Season 2 Gets Minor Update
3. Marvel Zombies Release Date Is Confirmed For Next October Exclusive Footage Is Shown To Attendees
4. Eyes Of Wakanda Get Release Window Exclusive Footage Is Shown To Attendees
5. A New Animated Movie Is Announced
6. Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man Official Teaser Is Released Publicly To End Off Panel

 

[Rick Jones]

I want some visuals, video or picture. Maybe some casting announcements and premiere dates. That's all I really need. Some new project announcements would really put me over.

On another note, I saw something Open Season related make it onto D+ recently. If they could permanently fix the Sony streaming arrangement, that would be wonderful. LOL I have one stubborn buddy that finally, after years, started watching Spectacular. Got halfway through before the Sony shows were pulled. He deserved that but I still wish it was all in one place again.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Some updates via Discussing Film's Twitter. Will update as more is announced. Also, it seems press isn't allowed to take photos or share online, so unless something is officially released afterwards, please don't link to leaked footage.

Brad Winderbaum says they will always change up the animation styles within Marvel Animation projects, adding there will be no in-house style.

Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight and Ironheart and Shang-Chi will appear in What If…? Season 3. What If...? ends with season 3. There will be an episode with an Avengers team that includes Captain America, Moon Knight, Monica Rambeau and others, facing off against gamma monsters.

The X-Men will wear Grant Morrison's suits in X-Men '97 season 2. Warlock will appear next season, too.

EDIT:
Todd Harris developed Eyes of Wakanda. He was a storyboard artist on many modern action movies. The show delves into Wakandan history.

An Iron Fist is confirmed to appear on the show.

Ryan Coogler says the show does a beautiful job of representing the history of those who had to keep Wakanda a secret over centuries.

Colam Domingo will voice Norman Osborn in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

 

[Rick Jones]

Hoping they put up some HQ versions of the Spidey images

I want to dig into that character spread

Never been a fan of the Morrison era costumes, so not excited about that one.

Four episodes for Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies definitely feels like they'll just be mini-series.

I'm not seeing dates for anything

If only they put the What If...? and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man footage up...

 

[RoyalRubble]

Hudson Thames will voice Peter/Spidey. Role reprisal from What If...?.

Peter & Norman's relationship is like a "What If?" scenario of Peter & Tony in the MCU. Difference is Norman uses more questionable methods.

First clip from the show reveals Peter gets his spider bite when Doctor Strange and Venom come through a portal fighting along with a spider.

Marvel Zombies will be a 4-episode event series rated "TV-MA".

First teaser shows Mandarin giving Shang-Chi the Ten Rings to save his arm from a zombie bite. Also included are Shang-Chi, Katy and Jimmy Woo fighting a Skrull biker gang, reminiscent of Mad Max sequence.

Yeah, no dates is kind of a letdown. Not as much as no official clips being released online, but still. Somehow I expected more from this event but it's not too bad, we did get a few intriguing tidbits I think.

EDIT:
ComicBook.com has a recap with a few more details.

 

[Rick Jones]

So I guess this was the scene of his origin, all along.

 

[TheGuy]

What was that? The panel was really bad we didn't even get a Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man trailer.....
