Marvel’s Kevin Feige appeared at D23 today to show off goods from his studio.
New footage from “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” was shown exclusively to the room, with director Ryan Coogler confirming he’s still very much in the editing and cutting process on the film.
Story wise Coogler says it focuses on how the rest of the world tries to capitalize on getting Wakanda’s resources – most notably Vibranium – when the kingdom is at its weakest.
Marvel’s Kevin Feige dubs it “the biggest thing we’ve ever done” and a clip showed off plenty of action with Tenoch Huerta’s Namor fighting Winston Duke’s M’Baku, and Michaela Coel being badass.
Also exclusive to the room was the first footage for the “Ironheart” series with Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams character who is introduced in “Wakanda Forever”.
The clip also showed off Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins/The Hood, Alden Ehrenreich as a friend of Riri who shares a brief fist bump with her, and Jim Rash who appears to be playing her MIT professor.
The series is said to “explore the battle between Magic and Tech – Riri is the science, The Hood is the magic.
Next came “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and Paul Rudd said it was “unlike anything you’ve seen before from the Ant-Man, with the small characters doing something so big. ”
The panel confirmed that Randall Park returns as Jimmy Woo in the film and that it directly links with “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty”.
The clip shown, exclusively for the room, sees Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) having to do a heist in the Quantum Realm for Kang, who has taken Cassie hostage.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” opens on November 11th, “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” opens in February, and “Ironheart” will debut sometime in 2023.
