It was all about the fans at the Marvel Entertainment panel this morning, as the heads of the comic book, animation and feature film wings of the company fielded questions from a constant stream of Comic-Con attendees (and obvious hard-core Marvel fans) for the full hour. While there were no bone-crushing, universe-conquering revelations afoot, there were a few interesting highlights:
* Any casting news on Captain America? No, but after the mere mention of his name won an instant chorus of boos, it’s probably not going to be Ben Affleck. But Matt Damon as Thor? That got the crowd applauding.
* A Comic-Con veteran — who said he’d made roughly $500,000 after buying $30,000 worth of Marvel stock upon seeing a preview of Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man movie at Comic-Con — asked if Jon Favreau would be returning to direct Iron Man 2. While Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige couldn’t confirm, he did ask the crowd if they wanted Favreau back, seemingly confident that they’d all raucously cheer in the affirmative — which they did. Feige said an announcement should be made next month.
* There is a script for a Silver Surfer movie currently at Fox, but Feige said they were waiting to see what comes of next year’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. On a related note, if it wasn’t already obvious, Marvel has no plans to license any more characters to outside studios.
* Lost exec. producer Damon Lindelof better watch out — he apparently still owes Marvel Comics a script for their Ultimate Hulk/Wolverine series, and the panelists deputized the audience to ask him about it at the his ABC series’ panel tomorrow.

CAPTAIN AMERICA = RYAN McPARTLIN
Matt Damon as Thor? Interesting. Too bad that Vincent D’Onofrio is not ten years younger. He looked HOT playing “Thor” the mechanic on Adventures in Babysitting, and I always thought it would be great if he actually got to play the real Thor.
Whoever they choose, I really hope they don’t screw up the movie. That said, poor Ben Affleck…as if that Daredevil movie was all his fault!
Yup, it’s been 2 1/2 years since the last issue of Damon Lindelof’s miniseries. I know, guy’s got a show to run, but c’mon, he only needs to finish one more script (out of a six issue series)!!
Will Jon Faverau return to direct Iron Man 2?
I hate stupid questions.
Just been confirmed by the mailboy over at Marvel Studios Captain America= Matt Damon
Thor= Paul Michael Levesque
Matt Damon as Thor??? I just can’t see it…I would have to lean towards Brad Pitt for that one.Mark Valley should be Captain America.He has the acting chops and the pedigree for it.
