Down in San Diego, Marvel is releasing concept images of each of hero from Avengers 2. Today was Quicksilver's turn, but with a hidden easter egg of The Vision hovering in the background.
The Vision is a robotic hero that breaks away from Ultron's control to help The Avengers take down the sentient machine.
James Gunn wrapped the Marvel Studios Comic-Con discussion by revealing a release date for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (which he will return to direct) set for July 28th 2017. No word on Doctor Strange or any of the other six dates Marvel has optioned, but I guess we'll just have to wait.
Waiting sucks.

Starring Rupert Friend (Homeland), Agent 47 is the latest movie adaptation of the popular video game series Hitman. The film also stars Hannah Ware and Zachary Quinto and is due out February 27, 2015.
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.
Father Gabriel Stokes first met Rick's band in issue 65 of The Walking Dead comic series, and now he's coming to the show (played by actor Seth Gilliam). In the comics, Father Stokes survived the outbreak by turning away his own congregation, and now feels he must atone for that sin by preaching to the other survivors. There's a history of mistrust there.
How will he be different in the show? Is he part of the band of Terminus survivors? What do you think?
Think I could get them to BringMeSmash outside of the convention?
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.
Cool, cute or hot, it doesn't matter, we have the best cosplay highlights from Friday at San Diego Comic-Con,
