The complete Marvel Studios panel from Friday night’s Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23 is now online courtesy of The Brandon Davis Show. The 12-minute video captures Kevin Feige’s full presentation from inside the arena in Anaheim, including the VisionQuest trailer debut, new Avengers: Doomsday footage, and the X-Men cast reveal. Details include Adam Driver’s taped message, beamed in from Pinewood Studios, where he reveals he will play Magneto in a Marvel film. The message is framed as a troll, with Driver jokingly announcing the villain’s name while pretending he didn’t know it was Mister Sinister’s alias, Nathaniel Milbury. The gag concludes with Driver explaining he assumed the cast had already met on set, so he stayed alone on the empty stage. Feige opened the panel with Marvel Television, introducing VisionQuest as the finale to the WandaVision trilogy. Paul Bettany and James Spader joined him, with Bettany joking about Vision’s repeated deaths complicating long-term planning. The trailer for VisionQuest is available here, and the first look at Spader’s human Ultron was shown on the show floor. Avengers: Doomsday is revealed to unite the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and original X-Men on screen, excluding Wolverine. Hugh Jackman’s surprise video teases the film, with Deadpool heckling off-screen. Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, and Robert Downey Jr. then appeared, with Feige introducing Downey as the potential end of the cinematic universe. The new Special Look for Avengers: Doomsday is shown. Sadie Sink’s handoff from Spider-Man to X-Men is highlighted, with Feige noting Marvel waited until Spider-Man: Brand New Day to discuss her character. She confirms the focus is on the X-Men, and the new cast is introduced, having met backstage moments earlier. VisionQuest premieres October 14 on Disney+, while Avengers: Doomsday opens December 18. X-Men is set for May 5, 2028. About Matt McGloin: Matt McGloin, editor-in-chief of Cosmic Book News, covers movies, comics, TV, video games, and pop culture.
