Marvel's Comic Con in San Diego just wrapped up. In the recent years, the event has garnered a lot of interest with the panels being all about fans of the movies and the comics. Each year, they introduce characters or have first-time films for characters they introduced in the previous films. This year too, saw a mix of interesting trailers. Here's a round-up of what is new this year.

Black Panther: They hinted at a Black Panther film in the Captain America: Civil War in 2016. Also known as T'Challa, the Black Panther played by Chadwick Boseman impressed us with his angry avatar. So it wasn't a surprise that new footage from the Black Panther film was one of the highlights of the Comic Con event at San Diego this year. We cannot wait to see how this hero shapes up to be.

The Wasp: The new Ant Man and the Wasp film was announced where none other than Michelle Pfeiffer will play the original Wasp alias Janet Van Dyne to Michael Douglas' Hank Pym who is Ant Man. The film will also feature Paul Rudd, the new Ant Man along with the new Wasp, Evangeline Lilly. This sure was a treat to the fans who yearned to see who was the Wasp in the first Ant Man film in 2015.

Thor and Ragnarok: The teaser of this film has been doing the rounds on the internet for quite sometime and has garnered 41 million views. The full-fledged trailer was released at Comic Con and revealed Cate Blanchett as Hela, who threatens to destroy Asgard. We also see Jeff Goldblum and Tessa Thompson in important roles. The film looks like a promising action flick with a fight-off between Thor and the Hulk, our favourite grey character Loki making an appearance and Hela as a formidable opponent.

Justice League: The trailer of the Justice League film too, was released. The film will see Wonder Woman played by Gal Gadot and Batman played by Ben Affleck recruiting a team to face Steppenwolf and his army. The army includes some characters being introduced for the first time in the DC universe like Aquaman, Flash and Cybrog. Aquaman played by Jason Momoa is nothing like the cute version depicted by Raj in The Big Bang Theory and we are certainly looking forward to see him in action. Ezra Miller will be playing Flash and Ray Fisher, Cybrog.

Avengers Infinity War: Footage of the Avengers: Infinity War was revealed and just by reading about it, you know that this one is going to be huge. The film with a huge ensemble cast, looks like a finale of sorts. It will feature Josh Brolin as Thanos, one of the most powerful villains the Avengers have faced. Yet another action-packed film to look forward to.
