Thor / Captain America Marvel Comic Con Panel promises to be huge

Thor's banishment from Asgard

With all of the buzz about Angelina Jolie making an appearance at the famous Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center for Comic Con 2010, some Monday buzz promises to make Saturday just as big an event.

First, there will be an 11:15 AM Comic Con autograph session with the directors and talent of Marvel Studios' Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.

That means you'll get to meet Thor's legendary director Kenneth Branagh and stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki). Then they're followed by Captain America: The First Avenger director, Joe Johnston, and stars Chris Evans (Captain America) and Hugo Weaving (Red Skull).

To attend the enormous event, you'll have to get a special ticket. Marvel asks you to come by the booth #2329 early Saturday morning to participate in a lottery for the right to go to the sessions.

Marvel Comics Entertainment is making the first theatrical film installment of Thor and of Captain America. So to have an evening panel cryptically titled...

Marvel Studios: Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger— Producer Kevin Feige and special guests give you an inside look at the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hall H

...means something big is in store for the San Diego Comic Con audience that will certainly gather well before 6 PM and then rush in to get the first seats. And why not?

Thor and Captain America are comic book legends of such magnitude they seem almost real. In the digital age, their on screen presence promises to extend their life by many decades.

The New Set Photo

The new set photo above has been flying around the web and from the looks of it, paints the picture that Thor is a big budget blockbuster.  The speculation is that this is Thor's banishment from Asgard to Earth.   I think Quint of Ain't It Cool News got it right on.

Thor and Captain America in 3-D

I'm personally not a fan of the rush to 3-D for movies, even though, if it's going to be done, Thor and Captain America are perfect vehicles for it. But what's bothersome to me is the impact Avatar had on my eye: they hurt a bit afterwards. Moreover, according to The LA Times, the movies will not be shot in a 3-D way, but use a reportedly more elaborate conversion process.

It's clear Marvel Studios Producer Kevin Feige doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Clash of The Titans, which was hammered by Avatar Producer / Director James Cameron as a 2-D movie trying to be a 3-D movie, but feels passionate about the need to have 3-D conversion used for both films.

Stay tuned.
