San Diego Comic Con 2014

Big Ant-Man news (and maybe some spoilers) is coming from Hall H and the Marvel Studios panel. Former Lost star, Evangeline Lilly finally has a role to announce, she's playing Hope van Dyne, Hank Pym's daughter. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) is the man who invented the shrinking technology, aka Pym Particles, and now he's taken Paul Rudd's character, Scott Lang, under his wing to eventually take over the business.

But Rudd isn't his first mentee. They also announced that House of Cards star, Corey Stoll is playing Pym's business partner, Darren Cross who is using the company for nefarious purposes. It also sounds like he'll be using the Pym Particles to transform himself into Yellowjacket, the big villain of the movie.

It's a good thing I liked Iron Man 1, since apparently they're just recycling the plot.

Looks like James Spader is peeking through back there, too.

Footage from the Witcher 3 panel won't be up for some time, but thanks to live tweets from the event we've got some idea what happened in there:
Technical difficulties mean there's been no audio from the gameplay footage, but Geralt's voice actor, Doug Cockle, is on hand to provide context.


The gameplay featured the use of fast travel which is available outside of cities, and showed the ability to visit any location on the map. Best of all, in case you missed it in previous gameplay trailers, jumping confirmed:

Geralt can jump btw just in case you were wondering #Witcher3 #SDCC #SDCC2014 #thebgb

In other words, nothing new here.

SDCC got a look at Pixar's latest Toy Story project, Toy Story That Time Forgot. The upcoming Christmas special is due out this December and features the original cast alongside Kevin McKidd (Grey's Anatomy, Brave)playing a new dinosaur, Reptilius Maximus, as the toys try to make their way to the great valley home.

Beware the cam quality, but anything to see Batfleck.

With The Amazing Spider-Man 2 putting up mediocre box office numbers earlier this fall, fans were worried that their promised Sinister Six movie might not go through. Rest easy, Spidey fans, Columbia just announced that Sinister Six will happen earlier than expected: November 11, 2016.

In response to Spidey's waning numbers, Columbia has pushed back The Amazing Spider-Man 3 to sometime in 2018. It looks like they're hoping a gaggle of villains (the anit-Avengers) might revitalize the franchise.This delay has left a prime movie real estate slot open for July 10, 2016, which Columbia is filling with an adaptation of Uncharted, a popular Naughty Dog video game about thief and treasure hunter, Nathan Drake.

What do you think, can Columbia save Spider-Man with the Sinister Six? Does Uncharted deserve its own movie?

Think I could get them to BringMeSmash outside of the convention?

Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric will be out November 18th, and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal will come out on November 11.
