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!

Anyone who doubts the super powers of ANT MAN can be cool should not be worried. Edgar Wright has made him a bad ass hero.

Just saw the 1-min long Ant-Man test reel by Edgar Wright. Looks great, almost steam-punky costume, badass fun action. Excellent. #SDCC

ANT MAN test reel! Pym power! #SDCC "Ant man will kick your ass one inch at a time." -Edgar Wright. #SDCC

That ANT-MAN test footage was pretty damn impressive.

Ant-Man test footage was just shown. Looks so much cooler than I thought it would be. Now I get it. Can't wait.

Downey Jr. comes out dancing through Hall H, Ant-Man test footage rocked - Marvel stealing the show again. #sdcc

Ant Man test footage was fun... simple scene of Ant Man running down a hallway as two guys in suits protect an elevator.
— Eric Vespe (@EricVespe) July 15, 2012

The costume was red-and-black. "We wanted to do a costume that was more practical. It mixes the Silver Age and contemporary Ant-Man."

Ant-Man footage rad, RDJ dancing down to stage now. Freaking OUT. More later

Note: The IRON MAN 3 footage had all finished effects and was essentially a genuine trailer. Not sure if it will get released soon though.
— Ethan Anderton (@Ethan_Anderton) July 15, 2012

Another holy shit - Iron Man 3 footage looks AWESOME. His new suit automatically flies onto him, his house gets destroy + MANDARIN! #SDCC
— Alex Billington (@firstshowing) July 15, 2012

Aaaaaaaaigh IRON MAN 3!! Stark's house blasted into oblivion, and a suit that flies to him in pieces to assemble around him. And MANDARIN!
— Josh Dickey (@Variety_JLD) July 15, 2012

WOW That IRON MAN 3 footage was [frick]ing HOT!!!!
— LatinoReview-Kel (@Latinoreview) July 15, 2012

IRON MAN 3 footage looked great and confirms Ben Kingley is Mandarin.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) July 15, 2012

Cool Iron Man 3 footage; Stark's entire world and home destroyed. Final shot is Kingsley as Mandarin #sdcc
— ErikDavis (@ErikDavis) July 15, 2012

Rings, heavy cloak, stringy beard... The Mandarin looks impressive.
— Eric Vespe (@EricVespe) July 15, 2012

The Iron Man 3 footage is INCREDIBLE. Full breakdown to come. But yes, Ben Kingsley is The Mandarin. Yes, it looks like Extremis is in.
— Empire Magazine (@empiremagazine) July 15, 2012

Iron Man 3 footage. Talks about events in Avengers. Villain IS Mandarin. More soon.

	SageMode - 7/15/2012, 7:39 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse someone must have leaked footage,if you do please post it.
	Darth258 - 7/15/2012, 7:48 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse I'm sure ANT-MAN will surprised people
	JonathaNisMagnuM - 7/15/2012, 7:53 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse @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 Login to report abuse It's almost impossible nobody recorded that footage.
	GuardianAngel - 7/15/2012, 7:59 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse Thanks guys
	FireKnightRises - 7/15/2012, 8:05 AM Login to report abuse @xfan320 their just trolling you know :D
	thalidomide - 7/15/2012, 8:07 AM Login to report abuse
	OnLeatherWings - 7/15/2012, 8:14 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse cant wait to see that test footage of Ant-man Someone HAS to leak it!!! Lol
	Godzillafart - 7/15/2012, 8:16 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse @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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse I just want to see the footage of this stuff.
	heisei24 - 7/15/2012, 8:31 AM Login to report abuse oh look..it's JackyTimish again...
	IgnurRant - 7/15/2012, 8:32 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse wtf you're talking about JackyTimish
	kingshnake - 7/15/2012, 8:33 AM Login to report abuse WHAT!? NOT PYM!? JUST---STUPID
	GUNSMITH - 7/15/2012, 8:36 AM Login to report abuse
	95 - 7/15/2012, 8:39 AM Login to report abuse Jacky Timish Approves.
	Tofur - 7/15/2012, 8:42 AM Login to report abuse So are they doing the whole extremis suit thing? Sounds awesome.
	R888 - 7/15/2012, 8:44 AM Login to report abuse we need footage now please
	ScottishSpider86 - 7/15/2012, 8:49 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse Still don't see how Ant-Man could look cool. I'll have to wait and see.
	CherryBomb - 7/15/2012, 8:52 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse @gunsmith was that the new extremis suit!!! its looks sooo gold but awesome.
	Bane - 7/15/2012, 9:03 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse Hope to see it publicly soon..I love Pym...
	xfan320 - 7/15/2012, 9:11 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse Your move Warner Brothers/DC.
	angus666 - 7/15/2012, 9:14 AM Login to report abuse Tony's house blasted into oblivion? Holy Crap!
	SuperFrost - 7/15/2012, 9:21 AM Login to report abuse Hope someone recorded the footage, I really want to see it!
	dennee - 7/15/2012, 9:29 AM Login to report abuse 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 Login to report abuse Somebody I want to see it do somebody have leaked footage. I'm a big pym fan.
	Capownsironman - 7/15/2012, 10:05 AM Login to report abuse 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!
