What a night it was last night, eh? As well as some fantastic announcements from Marvel Studios, Edgar Wright's test-reel for Ant-Man was shown, as was a trailer of sorts for Shane Black's Iron Man 3. While we have already read descriptions of that footage, we now have reactions (via Twitter) from those lucky enough to be in Hall H during the panel. Check them out below and be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!

Marvel is winning like a [frick]ing boss.

I had my reservations about Ant-Man getting his own movie, but I'm warming up to it. I have faith in MARVEL STUDIOS
marvel72 - 7/15/2012, 7:40 AM
someone must have leaked footage,if you do please post it.
Darth258 - 7/15/2012, 7:48 AM
The test footage was CGI or there's an actor already casted for Pym? If so i missed the news..
xfan320 - 7/15/2012, 7:49 AM
I REALLY NEED to see at least ONE of the panels' footage!!! Any will do!!! I knew Ant Man was gonna be good just knowing Edgar Wright's style...

BIG QUESTION: OFF TOPIC:

HAVE THEY CAST A "JIMMY OLSEN" IN MAN OF STEEL?

no mention on IMDb, but they got everyone else...any word?
FireKnightRises - 7/15/2012, 7:51 AM
I'm sure ANT-MAN will surprised people
JonathaNisMagnuM - 7/15/2012, 7:53 AM
Such Great News!! Been waiting on The Mandarin to be a Villain for so long, its all coming to realization. Cloak, Fu Manchu Goatee, Bling...YES, MANDARIN!!
ACira - 7/15/2012, 7:56 AM
@Darth258 it's live action but apparently Ant Man wore a full face mask, so you can't see who plays him in the footage.
LMB10 - 7/15/2012, 7:56 AM
It's almost impossible nobody recorded that footage.
GuardianAngel - 7/15/2012, 7:59 AM
Had my doubts about how Ant-Man could be presented on screen. I'm glad to be proven wrong.
ckal - 7/15/2012, 8:00 AM
Darth-

Based on a previous article it sounded like an actual actor playing Pym, but his face was covered.

Quite possible it was just a stand in for the test reel and no actor has been cast yet.
xfan320 - 7/15/2012, 8:03 AM
also, I love how everyone (Shane Black, Feige, etc.) all downplayed the Mandarin calling him a 'racist caricature', yet HERE HE IS!!! fu manchu, long hair, robes, rings...one must wonder if theyre goin as far as buck teeth and scotch tape eyes lol. jk.

good times for fanboys! lets NEVER give the box office #1 spot to a chick-flick again! We rock, nerds...keep up the good work and dedication!
Darth258 - 7/15/2012, 8:04 AM
Thanks guys
FireKnightRises - 7/15/2012, 8:05 AM
@xfan320

Yeah glad to be proven.wrong bout ant-man. Really wanna check out the footage or at least get a solid description.
gambgel - 7/15/2012, 8:16 AM
cant wait to see that test footage of Ant-man

Someone HAS to leak it!!! Lol
Godzillafart - 7/15/2012, 8:16 AM
I can't believe I'm saying this...but I'm getting a little excited about an Ant-Man movie.
DrDoom - 7/15/2012, 8:17 AM
Early reactions to almost everything tends to be positive. (Let's not forget the positive reactions to The Mediocre Spider-Man). I'm not sure if I'll ever be convinced that Ant-Man is a good idea, even if I do have faith in Marvel Studios to make the right decisions.
CyberBishop - 7/15/2012, 8:18 AM
Been looking on youtube, found a couple good vids from the panel however the ant man footage has been cut out of all (so far)... One person even said that the people that went deserved to see above everyone else it because they waited (blah blah blah). I am sure the footage will pop up soon.
xfan320 - 7/15/2012, 8:20 AM
@JackyTimish - huh?? I think what you said makes sense, but I dont have the time to translate lol

@DarkKnightRises - I caught on to their tricks DayOne! Mandarin was really the only LOGICAL choice to follow with.

to quote Mr. Stark...

"It's you. It's always been you."

now we just need Mandarin to summon Fin Fang Foom in the final battle once he obtains all ten rings. That way, no one can complain about a weak fnal act this time!
Jolt17 - 7/15/2012, 8:25 AM
Never doubted Ant-Man before, and I'm glad to hear all these. Iron Man 3 sounds sick. Sir Ben Kingsley as Mandarin...wow. That assembling armor (although I'm still not a big fan of the colors)...yes. The whole footage description...win. It better be online soon; I can't imagine what the ACTUAL video itself will do to me.
ironpool007 - 7/15/2012, 8:28 AM
I just want to see the footage of this stuff.
heisei24 - 7/15/2012, 8:31 AM
oh look..it's JackyTimish again...
IgnurRant - 7/15/2012, 8:32 AM
I love how they conveniently skipped the abundant amount of "meh" reactions to the Antman footage.

Especially thr dontroversy that its Scott Lang not Pym.
kingshnake - 7/15/2012, 8:32 AM
Is Ant-Man able to grow in size in this moovie as well? I hope so, even if it's just at the end
FireKnightRises - 7/15/2012, 8:32 AM
wtf you're talking about JackyTimish
kingshnake - 7/15/2012, 8:33 AM
WHAT!? NOT PYM!? JUST---STUPID
GUNSMITH - 7/15/2012, 8:36 AM

Jacky Timish Approves.
Tofur - 7/15/2012, 8:42 AM
So are they doing the whole extremis suit thing? Sounds awesome.
R888 - 7/15/2012, 8:44 AM
we need footage now please
ScottishSpider86 - 7/15/2012, 8:49 AM
Got total faith that Edgar Wright is going to do an amazing job on Ant Man :) bring on Wasp and Ultron! The futures bright, the futures Marvel!
Tainted87 - 7/15/2012, 8:51 AM
It'll probably be at least another year before we see any stills from Ant-Man. Considering how much attention ComicBookMovie.com receives from Marvel and DC, it's probably not a good idea to try to "sneak" bootleg clips here.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 7/15/2012, 8:51 AM
Still don't see how Ant-Man could look cool. I'll have to wait and see.
CherryBomb - 7/15/2012, 8:52 AM
I think Ant-Man could be a dark-horse as far as comic films are considered.
Not many people are expecting much of it, so I think it's gonna surprise some people.

I can't wait. I really hope they move forward with the project, these big reactions make me think they're gonna start moving things quicker :D GOOD!

Casting casting casting next!
Sortis - 7/15/2012, 8:52 AM
Of course Marvel is stealing the show...who here is shocked? And how about that Punisher short film with Tom Jane? I am flipping out!
Shadowmaster35 - 7/15/2012, 8:53 AM
Need this footage!! dyin to see the armor fly onto him like it does with Extremis and i can't wait to see the Ant-Man Costume and how he kicks ass!
RamonSuarez - 7/15/2012, 9:00 AM
I [frick]ing called it.

Antman will [frick]ing rule.

His powers are so awesome if you have a creative director/writer team handling the story - and they don't get any more creative than Edgar Wright.


RamonSuarez - 7/15/2012, 9:01 AM
As for Iron Man 3.

Pure awesomesauce.

I already knew that would [frick]ing rock too.

RDJ/Shane Black/Ben Kingsley is a can't missed combination.
thewolfx - 7/15/2012, 9:03 AM
@gunsmith


was that the new extremis suit!!!

its looks sooo gold but awesome.
Bane - 7/15/2012, 9:03 AM
Doesn't the armor in Extremis emanate from inside his bones? How is this different from when the armor flew onto him in The Avengers?
m0th3r - 7/15/2012, 9:07 AM
Hope to see it publicly soon..I love Pym...
xfan320 - 7/15/2012, 9:11 AM
Is it possible to have multiple Ant-Men? I know there's like 3 of them AND different costumes, but I'm only familiar with PYM...

and they describe 'ANT MAN' as a 'heist' film. Most/ALL heist movies involve a team...

really intrigued what the MacGuffin would be...I'd actually like if Pym had to steal his own tech back from a rival or evil corporation and have an "ANT MAN showdown" as the final fight (growing & shrinking constantly across a room) Insect interference.

wow...this movie's gonna be good....esp if EW can pull off half the stuff I picture in my head...

if you need visual inspiration/confirmation of how great this will be, just imagine 'scott pilgrim's' camera styles and effects on a serious and fun "superpowered ocean's 11" yay.
TrillLeanCup - 7/15/2012, 9:12 AM
so you're telling me in an age where just about every person has a video recorder in there ohone or camera and there is no footage leaked? [frick] if i was there i would have been leaked it.
ComradeGrey - 7/15/2012, 9:12 AM
Your move Warner Brothers/DC.
angus666 - 7/15/2012, 9:14 AM
Tony's house blasted into oblivion? Holy Crap!
SuperFrost - 7/15/2012, 9:21 AM
Hope someone recorded the footage, I really want to see it!
dennee - 7/15/2012, 9:29 AM
Ant Man test footage was flippin awesome! That IM3 teaser was amazing!!!! The 6 hour wait for Hall H was worth it!
Loki9876 - 7/15/2012, 9:55 AM
Somebody I want to see it do somebody have leaked footage. I'm a big pym fan.
Capownsironman - 7/15/2012, 10:05 AM
I was there and let me tell you, it doesn't get any better than that for ant-man...he jumps when a guys about to shoot him, shrinks, then runs on top of the gun (pistol) and punches him in the face! :D go marvel!
