ComicCon: Marvel News Round-Up

Marvel have had a huge presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con convention, bringing a wealth of new trailers for their films and games, as well as revealing some new details about their comics along the way. Here's a round-up of all the stuff that may affect our screen entertainment in the future...
  • Marvel Super Hero Squad: Comic Caper is coming out on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and 3DS later this year. The first three versions will use the uDraw tablet, with players creating cover for their favourite heroes as they battle the evil Dr Doom, while the latter will make use of its three-dimensional technology to add depth to the confrontation.
  • The 2012 Ultimate Spider-Man series was previewed during a TV panel: we'll be seeing the teenage Spidey facing off against Venom, Dr Doom and other new foes as well as teaming up with the likes of Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. A new series called Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H was announced too to be in production, set to feature the titular green beast and friends including She-Hulk and the Red incarnation of the character.
  • Hugh Jackman confirmed that X-Men film spin off The Wolverine will begin shooting this October for release in 2012, and that the villain his character will fight in Japan is the Silver Samurai, a powerful mutant ninja.
  • There was also some more games news: X-Men: Destiny will feature cameos from both Emma Frost and Iceman; Marvel Pinball will hit the 3DS, PlayStation Vita and WiiU in Autumn 2012; those with a Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions save on their consoles can access ten exclusive costumes immediatedly in the upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 will feature new stages based on (but not limited to) 'Shadowland' and the X-Men comic 'Days of Future Past'.
That's all for now, but for all the coverage of the final hours of ComicCon (there's not too much going on today, yet there should at least be trailers for Merlin and Doctor Who) keep checking back right here!
