After the leak, Warner Brothers had a change of heart and released the entire clip that was shown in Hall H on Saturday. Watch it here:

Fans in Hall H had quite the surprise in store for them on Saturday during the Warner Brothers panel. The studio brought out “Suicide Squad” director David Ayer. Although production for the film is still underway in Toronto, Ayer told the audience he wanted to stop by because “you guys run this shit! We’re making this movie for you, right here. It’s all about canon, it’s all about being faithful to the source material. You guys know who you are, and know what you want, and you’re going to get it with this show. All this good vs. evil shit is kind of played out. It’s time for bad vs. evil. It’s time for a movie about bad guys! Who’s got the best bad guys out there? DC Comics, the best villains. Now, I’m not trying to start a East Coast-West Coast feud with Marvel Comics, but someone has to say the truth.”

Ayer then proceeded to joke that he “found this on the internet,” and showed the first footage from the film, which of course, has since leaked. (You can find it easily, I promise, but we won’t post it here). The footage begins with Amanda Weller (Viola Davis), talking with a man about “the most dangerous people in the world who can do some good.” The man asks, “What makes you think you can control them?” She assures him, “Because getting people to act against their own self-interests is what I do for a living.” We then see a montage of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Deadshot (Will Smith), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne), and the rest of the suicide squad in action. “We’re some kind of suicide squad” we heard Deadshot say in a voice over. The best part comes towards the end with the Joker (Jared Leto) creepily saying, “I’m not going to kill you, I’m just going to hurt you, really, really bad.”

Ayer then invited the cast on stage, minus Jared Leto: Karen Fukuhara (Katana), Adam Beach (Slipknot), Cara Delevingne, Jay Hernandez (El Diablo), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), Viola Davis, Margot Robbie and Will Smith. Before leaving, Smith told the crowd “We are banging out something that is absolutely fantastic. We’ll see y’all next year!” The film is slated for an August 5, 2016 release.

Eight new “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2” posters have been released for the film’s last Comic-Con panel, which will take place this Thursday (July 9) in San Diego, California.

Shortly after some of the cast of “Guardians of the Galaxy” made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con last weekend in San Diego, Marvel confirmed another cast member.

Saturday’s appearance consisted of director James Gunn, and revealed the cast as follows: Chris Pratt as the Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Dave Bautista portraying Drax the Destoryer, Benicio Del Toro as the Collector, Lee Pace as Ronan the Accuser, Karen Gillan as Nebula, Djimon Hounsou playing Korath the Pursuer and Michael Rooker as Yondu.

During the panel, Gunn revealed that production of the film had already began, but audiences are still anxiously waiting for the announcements of the rest of the cast. (Make sure to also check out our coverage of the event here) On Tuesday (July 23), Marvel announced Glenn Close would be joining the group as Nova-Prime, leader of the police force Nova Corps. Little is known about the character since “Nova-Prime” is in fact a rank, not a name. It is unknown whether or not Close’s character will be an alien or human. It is also interesting to note that the title has been held by men only. Looks like Marvel might be changing things up.

The film is slated for a North American release of August 2014.

Last year at Comic-Con, Marvel unveiled its plans to make a Guardians of the Galaxy film and gave a sneak peak at some concept art, this year they sweetened the deal by introducing us to the cast members. Marvel invited a few select members of the press to a small press conference after the larger Hall H panel to discuss the new project.

Even though the movie just started filming two weeks ago, the cast and director were eager to tell the world just how cool it will be–and cast member David Bautista wanted the chance to tell everyone he would win in a fight with the Hulk.

Before, they got into comparisons of the different Marvel franchises, the first thing people wanted to know was who else would be cast in the film.

“Is there any chance we might hear soon about Rocket Racoon or Groot?” a reporter asked.

“Soon,” director James Gunn said.

“like casting anytime soon?” the reporter repeated.

“Pretty soon.”

“Nowish?”

“Not nowish, tomorrow… next weekish, next monthish. I don’t know soon,” Gunn said.

Since not a lot of people are familiar with the Guardians of the Galaxy comics, the next question was about the overall premise of the film.

“Really Guardians is about a family coming together and it really is about a group of individuals who have acted selfishly throughout their life and learning something about themselves that makes them heroes,” Gunn said.

The first questions were really just formalities. What everyone really wanted to know about were the rock hard bodies in the film (Chris Pratt, David Bautista, Michael Rooker etc.). People were especially curious to know how Pratt, playing Star-Lord, transformed his body in such a short amount of time. The actor lost 40 pounds and gained a ton of muscle in just six months.

“Oh man it was like a combination of, you know about six months of just going after it. A combination of different things, lifting weights, cardio and really strict nutrition. I mean it’s really boring stuff,” Pratt said. “But, basically I cried like 40 pounds off and the rest was being hungry and running a lot.”

“He’s being very disciplined. His birthday was three weeks ago, four weeks ago, I had to be there, they brought out a tray of vegetables that spelled happy birthday,” producer and Marvel executive Kevin Feige chimed in.

“Yeah, and if there was one that was sharp I would have used it to cut my wrists,” Pratt said as the audience laughed. After a short pause he added, “that’s not, you shouldn’t make jokes about suicide that was seriously inconsiderate.”

In pure comic-book-nerd fashion, another reporter asked David Bautista whether or not his character, Drax the Destroyer, could beat the Hulk or Thor in a fight.

“I would have to say yes on that,” Bautista said.

“Have you seen his hands for the love of God? They’re like this big. Like if it’s raining I just have Dave put his hands over my head,” said Zoe Saldana who plays Gamora.

It’s that kind of confidence that is helping the cast win over fans quickly. When someone asked if they were intimidated by taking on fairly unknown roles with so many other very popular Marvel franchises already established, they answered with a mixture of sarcasm and gravitas.

“No there’s nothing intimidating about 200 people looking at you at a press conference,” Pratt said sarcastically. “This is easy, I’m not scared. Oh yeah, that’s fine, yeah being at Comic-Con and answering questions about comic book movies is super easy… I don’t know, anyone else?’

“It’s exciting! Of course you’re nervous, I would be cautious to use the word intimidated because I don’t want it to be interpreted like I feel less or inferior,” Saldana said. “I feel very excited to be doing a Marvel family of superheroes and I do believe that Guardians have bigger powers in a way and if we were up against like Captain America or Thor we would totally kick his ass.”
