At the Iron Man 3 panel Marvel showed off some footage from the film, director Shane Black confirmed that Ben Kingsley is indeed playing The Mandarin and announced the addition of Stephanie Szostak (R.I.P.D.) to the cast (though her role wasn’t revealed).

Comic book fans are well aware of the Winter Soldier, and may be a little bit surprised that they’re going this route already. If you’re not familiar with the story, it’s summarized over at Wikipedia.

I have no clue what The Dark World is, but I’m glad they didn’t just go with Thor 2.

Some test footage for director Edgar Wright‘s long-awaited Ant-Man movie was shown.

Finally, Marvel unleashed the logo treatment for Guardians of the Galaxy (above), and concept art of the team (below) featuring the film’s lineup – Drax The Destroyer, Groot, Star-Lord, Rocket Racoon, and Gamora.
