Director Ryan Coogler (Creed, Fruitvale Station) poses backstage at Comic-Con with the cast of Black Panther: Danai Gurira (Okoye, head of the Wakanda special services unit known as the Dora Milaje), Chadwick Boseman (the warrior king of Wakanda himself), Lupita Nyong'o (Nakia, a soldier in the Dora Milaje), and Michael B. Jordan, who plays the villain Erik Killmonger. In the comics, Killmonger was a vengeful, exiled Wakandan who took on that bellicose nom de guerre and tried to stage a coup against the Black Panther.

Tom Holland, who debuted as Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War, speaks in Hall H to tease Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first webslinger movie set in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He said Star-Lord has evolved since the last movie. “Well, he’s famous now!” Pratt told the crowd. “After saving so many people in the galaxy, we’re well-known now. He’s a little bit more responsible and trying to stay out of trouble, but not doing the best job.”
