We didn't really think we would get in to this panel, but we were pleasantly surprised - and we were so fortunate that we did. Ballroom 20 was only about 85-90% filled, and all were treated to a spectacular series of trailers, teasers, talent, and surprises. First came a triptych teaser whic asked the question, "What does it mean to be a hero?" featuring all of the Netflix Marvel characters, to date: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. It was a great introduction to the new Luke Cage series. Then there was a tag featuring the Punisher which also brought down the house. Soon after the lights went up, Jon Bernthal appeared next to Jeph Loeb, looking very serious, and to the delight of the fans. He was 'encouraging' Jeph to show the teaser again. Jeph acquiesced. As my brothers says, and I agree, Marvel just knows how to do things right: first was the cast of Luke Cage which consists of seasoned character and lead actors like Frank Whaley, Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, Mahershala Ali, Alfred Woodard, and Mike Colter as Luke Cage. Show runner, Cheo Coker, shed some light on his approach to the show, even linking the show to what's been going on recently, saying that maybe it's time for there to be a bulletproof black man. he also remarked that the 13 episodes were all named after different Gang Starr song titles. Next was the series of scenes that showcased the dramatic elements and the strength of the cast. There were more questions about how the cast came to the project and their thoughts on the characters. After they wrapped, Joe Quesada appeared to confirm that Daredevil was confirmed for a 3rd seasons. Then, a surprise teaser showed some scenes from the upcoming Marvel/Netflix show iron Fist which brought even more enthusiasm to the room. And right when we thought it was all over, Marvel did it again: lights went down and the teaser trailer to the new show Defenders came on screen, driving the fans mad. My brother said it, and I agree: Marvel knows how to do things right. Luke Cage: Sept 30th, 2016 iron Fist: Coming Soon Defenders: 2017 Daredevil Season 3: TBA

I totally agree with your brother. Marvel Studios truly knows how to do things right. Not only they've invaded the big-screen, they totally captured the television as well. Sometimes, it's so hard keeping up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With all those movies and numerous TV series, there's virtually no time for anything else. I'm just glad that I get to watch all my favorite super heroes in action.

AuthorWith a couple of degrees under my belt, I have chosen to pursue writing after working in the private sector for many years. It is so refreshing to see how poorly I've retained rules of grammar and other tools of the trade. Good luck reading my blogs. Archives
