2019 SDCC High Energy Site
SDCC, full name San Diego Comic-Con, Chinese "San Diego Comic-Con".
It is an annual carnival for movie fans.
It contains all the popular culture and entertainment projects such as movies, dramas, comics and games, and it is also the time for various film and television companies to officially announce big news and do things.
This year is also the first time that SDCC has returned to offline activities since the epidemic, which can be described as a long-awaited and expected!
This time SDCC still has a lot of fierce material -
Warner Bros. brings two DC SuperHero movies: "Black Adam" and "Thunder Shazam!" The Wrath of the Gods".

In terms of streaming, the PK between Amazon's "Lord of the Rings of The Rings of Forces" and HBO's "Dragon Family" is also a blockbuster showdown in the second half of the year!

The SDCC also aired the first trailer for Rush 4.
Donnie Yen and John Wick shoot each other passionately:
The film will be released on March 24, 2023.
At first glance, did you see Keanu Reeves riding a bicycle?
But of course, the most important one is Marvel!
At the event, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) future film and television plans for the fourth, fifth and sixth phases.
"Reunion 5" and "Reunion 6" are all released in 2025!
Kevin Feige announced on stage
Good guys, people are directly blown up.
There are twenty future works announced by Marvel this time, and "Female Hulk" in August will meet with everyone immediately, and "Black Panther 2" will be ready to go in the second half of this year.
Three years of direct revelry!
No nonsense, today I will give you a good plate in order.
Marvel Special
At this year's SDCC, Feige announced the four, five, and six phases of the MCU as "The Multiverse Saga" [the Infinity Saga of the first three stages].
In the "Multiverse Saga" phase, a total of 33 works (including episodes) have been identified so far.
From "Wanda's Vision" to "Guardians of the Galaxy: Christmas Special", it is the fourth stage, a total of 17 works.
From "Ant-Man 3: Quantum Mania" to "Thunder Agents", it is the fifth stage, a total of 13 works.
"Fantastic Four", "Avengers 5", "Avengers 6", are the works currently confirmed in the sixth stage.
Phase IV Phase 4
The fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe begins with Wanda's Visions and ends with Guardians of the Galaxy: Christmas Special.
The fourth phase has not yet been released:
Movie "Black Panther 2" 2022.11.11
Episode "Female Hulk" 2022.8.17
Episode "Untitled Marvel Halloween Special" 2022.10
Special Edition "Guardians of the Galaxy: Christmas Special" 2022.12
>>>> Black Panther 2 2022.11.11
Black Panther 2 is the final film of the fourth phase, released on November 11 this year.
The first "Black Panther" has a very special place in Marvel movies, not only because it is marvel's first Oscar-winning film, starring the death of Chadwick Bosman, but also makes the film meaningful.
At this year's SDCC, Marvel played the first trailer for "Black Panther 2", confirming the death of King T'Challa;
It also shows the lives of the people after the loss of the king and the new crises they face.
In addition to the return of most of the original cast, Black Panther 2 also introduces two new characters:
Lily Williams, the protagonist of the series Heart of Steel;
And the villain Namor:
In the comics, Namo is the son of the human captain and Princess Atladis, and the first mutant in Marvel Comics, equivalent to the "Marvel version of Aquaman" (in fact, the comic Namor appeared earlier than Aquaman).
It looks like he will lead the Atlantis undersea army to capture Wakanda.
At the end of the trailer, the figure of the new Black Panther was also revealed.
Who is the new Panther?
According to Variety, the trailer was viewed 172 million times in 24 hours, second only to "Spider-Man: No Homecoming" (355 million) and "Thor 4: Love and Thunder" (209 million) among Marvel's indie films.
>>>> "Female Hulk" 2022.8.17
Jennifer, the protagonist of The Female Hulk, is a lawyer and cousin of Bruce Banner the Hulk.
The comic is set after Jennifer receives a blood transfusion from Banner after a serious injury, thus gaining the same abilities as the Hulk.
As can be seen from the trailer, Jennifer's appearance has not changed much (about two meters after the transformation), and unlike the Hulk who only smashed the wall before, Jennifer has a clear sense of self after the transformation.
And it looks like it's more powerful than the Hulk?
In the comics, Jennifer often breaks the fourth wall for humor, and it seems that the play also retains this setting, making "Female Hulk" full of comedy style.
Starring Tatiana Maslani, you may not be familiar with it, but her previous representative work "Black Orphan" series can be said to be a one-person multi-angle ceiling.
Mark Ruflo (as Hulk) and Tim Rose (as Abomination, the villain in The Invincible Hulk) are both acting schools.
The main creative lineup of "Female Hulk" is mainly female, and this time they all came to SDCC.
There are also cameos in the play of King and Night Devil.
Seriously, with a few more cameos, Marvel can change its name to "The Multiverse of the Old King.".
Night Devil is Marvel's most popular character in a previous series of Netflix episodes, played by Charlie Cox.
After returning to the main universe, the Night Devil often made cameos, and it seems that he will be the key figure in the "multiverse legend".
>>>> "Undead Marvel Halloween Special" 2022.10
Starring Mexican actor Gail García Bernal, it went live in October this year.
>>>> Guardians of the Galaxy: Christmas Special 2022.12
The story takes place between Thor 4 and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and goes live in December this year.
>>>> "I Am Groot" August 10, 2022
Interstitial a "I Am Groot".
The animated shorts, the story is relatively independent, more like a small part of the fourth stage, and it was launched on August 10.
Van Diesel and Bradley Cooper voiced Groot and Rocket again, releasing five episodes directly on the day of launch.
Just look at this strange cute painting style, who can not love the little tree people! Who wouldn't want to hear another sentence of "I'm Groot"!
Phase V Phase 5
Marvel's fifth stage, plus animation, has a total of thirteen works:
Movie
Ant-Man 3: Quantum Mania 2023.2.17
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 2023.5.5
Captain Marvel 2 2023.7.28
New Blade Warrior 2023.11.3
Captain America 4 2024.5.3
Thunder Agents 2024.7.26
Episodes
"What if...? Season 2 Spring 2023
Secret Invasion Spring 2023
Echoes Summer 2023
Rocky Season 2 Summer 2023
Heart of Steel Fall 2023
Agatha: Gathering of Chaos Winter 2023
Night Devil: Reborn Spring 2024
>>>> Ant-Man 3: Quantum Mania 2023.2.17
Ant-Man 3 will kick off the fifth phase.
Starring Paul Luther, Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer and others are back, Catherine Newton will play Ant-Man's grown-up daughter Kathy.
From right to left: Paul Luther, Evangeline Lily, Catherine Newton
The film also introduces Kang the Conqueror.
The character first appears in Rocky (but appears as Conquistador Kang's variant, The Remnant), and is an opponent who can "travel through time and space and across the multiverse."
Concoctor the Conqueror is a very famous villain in the comics, and fans have speculated many times that Marvel will introduce this character, but they did not expect to directly become the main villain of the "multiverse legend".
After all, the subtitle of Avengers 5 is "Kang's Dynasty". (See clearly it's not the Kangxi Dynasty!) ）
However, this is really easy to see wrongly, #Regard the Fulian 5 Kang Dynasty as the Kangxi Dynasty # even has a topic.
Ant-Man has always been family-centric, and by the third installment has expanded its worldview and territory. But judging from the trailer that was exclusively broadcast on the spot, the plot of the third part is a bit of a mystery:
Scott became a bit drifty after saving the world and wrote an autobiography; Daughter Kathy is an adult and ends up in jail.
Judging from the concept poster, Casey will also become a member of the Ant-Man family.
>>>> Guardians of the Galaxy 3 2023.5.5
The SDCC also featured an exclusive trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
Rocket raccoon baby?
This one introduces a new character, Adam Warlock, and will also explore the early life of Raccoon Rocket. Baby Rocket is so cute!
Chris Pratt also said at the scene that Star-Lord is still immersed in the shadow of "Avengers 4" because his lifelong love Camorra no longer knows him.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will be the end of the series, and it is said that the ending will be more tragic...
>>>> Captain Marvel 2 July 28, 2023
"Captain Marvel 2" is also Marvel's future heavyweight work.
Of course, the current plot is not known, but it has been determined that "Amazing Girl" Kamala will appear in the movie.
Jitterson's fiancée, Zawi Ashton, plays the villain, and South Korean actor Park Su-joon also plays, supposedly a bisexual character.
Left: Zawi Ashton Right: Park Su-joon
Although it will only be released next summer, Captain Marvel has already shown his face in the recently concluded "Wonder Girl" Easter egg.
>>>> New Blade Warrior 2023.11.3
The New Blade Warrior is an old IP reboot played by Mahershala Ali (Green Book, Alita: Battle Angel).
The protagonist, Bled, is a half-human, half-vampire bloodline and an excellent vampire hunter.
The previous 1998 version of Blade Runner was a great one, so you can take a look.
>>>> Captain America 4 May 3, 2024
Marvel has released the full title of Captain America: New World Order.
The film should follow Falcon and the Winter Soldier and will delve into Sam Wilson's weakness as the new Captain America.
The screenwriter of the film is also Malcolm, the screenwriter of "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier", but thinking about the quality of the series, I can only say: pray to put.
>>>> Thunder Agents 2024.7.6
"Thunder Agents" is the finale of the fifth stage.
The Thunder Agents in the comics are similar to DC's Suicide Squad, and are both a team of villains.
The role of the film has not yet been decided, but Baron Zemo, Yelena, The Imitation Master, Winter Soldier, etc. are likely to appear.
>>>> "What If...? Season 2 Spring 2023
Animated episode "What If...? It is one of the few low-open high-going works in Disney+'s Marvel series, and each episode will talk about the possibility of different developments of a Marvel event.
The second season will be even crazier than the first, telling the origins of Hela, marvel 1602 series, Captain Carter meets the Winter Soldier, Tony and Kamora become friends... It will feel very interesting.
>>>> Secret Invasion Spring 2023
It tells the story of Nick Fury and the shapeshifting alien Skrull.
In the comics, this group of aliens directly replaced many superheroes on Earth in secret.
Commissioner Nick, Agent Hill, and Gears of War are all back in the show, and "Mother of Dragons" Emilia Clarke and Oscar-winning Best Actress Olivia Coleman are also playing new roles in the show!
Left: Emilia Clark Right: Olivia Coleman
>>>> Echo summer 2023
Echo is a spin-off of the series Hawkeye, featuring Maya Lopez, which will begin next summer.
>>>> The Second Season of Rocky summer 2023
No big news, currently in the filming.
>>>> Heart of Steel Fall 2023
"Heart of Steel" is about the genius inventor Lily Williams who invented a set of armor that can compete with Iron Man's armor, and has previously appeared in "Black Panther 2".
She will be Iron Man's successor.
It is worth noting that in the trailer for "Black Panther 2", the clip of Lily hitting iron pays tribute to "Iron Man".
>>>> Agatha: The Gathering of Chaos Winter 2023
Agatha: The Gathering of Chaos, a spin-off of Wanda Vision, features Agatha, a popular character in Wanda Vision.
In the comics, the witch Agatha is Wanda's friend and teacher, but in Wanda's Vision, she is the evil witch who opposes Wanda.
>>>> Night's Man: Reborn Spring 2024
After five years, the Night Devil has finally returned!
After Disney launched its own streaming disney+ that year, it canceled several Marvel series of Netflix.
As the most popular character, night devils have never stopped the fan calls for him to return to the main universe.
Previously, Lawyer Ma made a surprise appearance in "Spider-Man: Heroes Of No Return".
Before this independent series, he would also appear in dramas such as "Female Hulk" and "Echo".
Phase VI Phase 6
Marvel's sixth phase, so far, only three works have been identified:
Movie "Fantastic Four" 2024.11.8
Movie "Avengers: Kang's Dynasty" 2025.5.2
Movie "Avengers: Secret War" 2025.11.7
>>>> Fantastic Four 2024.11.8
This IP has not been successful, and the 2015 version is even more disastrous.
Only the version of Thunderbolt Fire played by "Peach Total" Chris Evans has always been remembered.
Many fans hope that Tao Zong can play Thunderbolt Fire again after leaving the US team, so let's boldly dream.
>>>> Avengers: Kang Dynasty 2025.5.2 Avengers: Secret War 2025.11.7
The most important news on the SDCC must be the official announcement of "Reunion 5" and "Reunion 6"!
In this regard, a popular Weibo commented:
The lineup is unclear at the moment, but it is estimated that these new characters will be in stage 456.
Obviously, after the end of the first generation of reunion, Marvel was anxious to push out these second- and third-tier and young new generation superheroes.
It's not that it can't be filmed, but from the fourth stage, Marvel's main universe has become unclear, and the new characters are not prominent enough.
The director of "Reunion 5" was just officially announced two days ago by Destin Creighton, the director of "Shangqi".
At present, Marvel's score on the big screen and the small screen is even five or five points, and even more breakthroughs and novelties in the series.
So can Marvel, which pushes the plan to 2025, make fans who stay in "Avengers 4" look forward?
Blockbuster mini-drama
In addition to Marvel, this year's SDCC also has two super British movies from DC, IP adaptations and streaming media.com.
>>>> "Black Adam" 2022.10.21
"Black Adam" starred "Boulder" Dawn Johnson, with Pierce Brosnan joining.
Johnson's appearance at SDCC this year is very special: standing on a high stage in a costume, with a special effects background of thunder and lightning, super cool.
The film is based on the DC comic of the same name: Black Adam is an anti-hero character from ancient Egypt, a sworn enemy of Shazam, who after being imprisoned for five thousand years with the intention of justifying his own name.
Judging from the trailer, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "black" Superman.
>>>> Thunder Shazam! Wrath of the Gods" 2022.2.21
"Shazam 2" also released a new trailer on the SDCC, with Zachary Levi, Arthur Anchi, Jack Dylan Glazer and other big and small stars returning!
"Shazam 2" also has heavyweight stars joining this time: Helen Mirren and Liu Yuling. Both play villains in the film.
Compared with the first part, this one looks much more lively.
>>>> Dungeons & Dragons: Rogue Glory 2023.3.3
Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Reggie Jean Peggy, Sophia Lilith, Hugh Grant and others.
Adapted from its own well-known classic board game - Dungeons & Dragons.
A little bit of a right to travel that smell
Many titles such as Stranger Things and The Big Bang Theory have homaged tributes to this game.
Super excited On SDCC Pine
>>>> "Sleeping Devil" 2022.8.5

Although the appearance of the actors has been complained about by fans, this drama has the original author George W. Bush. R· R. Martin himself participated in the adaptation.
The cast of "Dragon Family" is in the SDCC, and the third from the left in the row is George W. Bush. R· R. Martin
And listen to the creator revealed that there will be 17 dragons in the play!
>>>> The Lord of the Rings: Ring of Strength 2022.9.2
The Lord of the Rings: Ring of Strength is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings, set thousands of years before the old trilogy.
The story overlaps some of the old characters, but all of them are re-played by young actors.
The show claims to be "the most expensive American drama ever", and the first season cost a whopping $465 million.
However, the problem is that the episode itself does not have the support of the original story, so whether it is good or not has to be a question mark.
>>>> "Burzik" to be determined
Keanu Reeves also came to the SDCC this time, and he also promoted the comic he co-created, Burzik.
The protagonist of "Burzik" is an immortal warrior who has lived for 80,000 years, Netflix has won the right to adapt anime and live-action films, Keanu will star and supervise live-action films, as well as dubbing animations.
Well, this year's SDCC is all that.
The blockbuster work introduced above is enough for fans to party for three years.
At that time, the film detective will also bring you detailed interpretation and analysis, and everyone can sit and wait!
