Filed Under: Avengers: Infinity War

Another Comic-Con has been and gone and it was a pretty good one. While a lot of movie studios once again decided to sit the event out, Marvel Studios and Warner Bros. were both there hoping to steal the show so it should come as no surprise to learn that they dominated ComicBookMovie.com from Wednesday to Sunday. However, what was the most popular story during this massive weekend? With Monday here, the results are in!

Below are the ten biggest stories (related to Comic-Con, hence why the rumour Ben Affleck would be ushered out of the Batman role isn't listed here) from this period ranked from least to most viewed. Can you guys guess which story ultimately came out on top?

This is a great way to recap what's happened and to see which stories fans gravitated towards. The results may surprise you as the battle between Marvel and DC took a very exciting turn thanks to the release of posters, trailers, casting news, and more...

10. The Punisher Joins The Defenders

Netflix Korea has just dropped an awesome new promo for The Defenders, and in addition to featuring narration from the one-and-only Stan Lee, it confirms the return of Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle...

Marvel released trailers for both Inhumans and The Defenders over the weekend but the one which grabbed your attention the most featured narration from Stan "The Man Lee and confirmation that Jon Bernthal's Punisher will be part of the series.

We expected him to appear in some form here but this was still exciting news and we're now all wondering how Frank Castle will factor into Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist's battle against The Hand!

Mondo has just debuted their newest poster for The Flash television series, and it pits The Scarlet Speedster against the villainous Reverse-Flash for what's sure to be an epic showdown.

Mondo don't seem to release anywhere near as many posters as they used to but the company is still more than capable of blowing away the efforts made by film and television studios when they choose to.

That was particularly the case for this stunning new poster for The Flash TV series featuring a very inventive take on Barry Allen's battle with Reverse-Flash. That villain has yet to be topped in the series but next up for the Scarlet Speedster is the villainous Thinker!

8. Hulk Steals The Show In Epic New Thor: Ragnarok Trailer

If you thought the last trailer was something, well then you're definitely not ready for this. Marvel Studios has just unleashed the official theatrical trailer for Thor: Ragnarok and it's just unreal!

The Thor franchise is pretty much being rebooted with Ragnarok, a movie which is vastly different to the God of Thunder's previous solo adventures.

The tone of this teaser points to Taika Waititi embracing a lot of comedy but there was plenty of epic action for fans worried about that to be able to relax and realise they're getting an awesome cosmic adventure featuring the hero. That's going to include Planet Hulk, Hela, the Fenris Wolf, and even the fiery demon Surtur!

7. Why Ben Affleck Isn't Directing The Batman

Ben Affleck opens up about his decision to step away from The Batman's director's chair, the reason he's still committed to playing the Caped Crusader, and Matt Reeves' plans for the superhero franchise.

Before Comic-Con kicked off, a story from The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Ben Affleck was being ushered out of the Batman role with an eye for another actor/character to don the cape and cowl in his place.

The actor responded to that during Warner Bros.' Hall H panel by saying he had no intention of going anywhere and later followed that up with this lengthy interview where he weighed in on his decision to no longer direct The Batman and reaffirmed his commitment to the role.

6. Captain Marvel Battles The Skrulls

Marvel Studios has just released the first concept art of Brie Larson in costume as Captain Marvel and they've also announced the introduction of the Skrulls to the MCU. Plus, Nick Fury has been confirmed!

One of the coolest reveals to come out of Marvel's Hall H is the fact that Captain Marvel will be set in the 1990s and feature both the Kree/Skrull War and a two eyed Nick Fury.

Accompanying that massive reveal was some amazing concept art showing Brie Larson's Carol Danvers swooping into action against the shape-shifting aliens wearing a costume which should be instantly familiar to fans of the comic books. Something tells me this movie is going to be something very special indeed!

5. A Surprising Twist About Thanos' Infinity War Wardrobe

Have you been wondering what the deal is with Thanos' casual look in Avengers: Infinity War? Co-director Joe Russo reveals all and sheds some new light on the Mad Titan's quest to gain the Infinity Stones.

There were a lot of very interesting interviews out of this year's Comic-Con but the one that you guys were most interested in was with Avengers: Infinity War co-director Joe Russo. Talking about the scale of the movie and just how much power Thanos ultimately unleashes, the filmmaker finally answered a question we've all been mulling over for a while now.

Why is the Mad Titan lounging around the place in what looks like casual clothing? It was a very interesting and convincing explanation to be fair!

4. Black Panther And Thor: Ragnarok Get Stunning New Posters

Marvel Studios handed out some amazing concept art posters for Black Panther and Thor: Ragnarok at Comic-Con last night and they feature a startling new look at T'Challa and Thor and Loki battling Hela.

We've seen a lot of amazing concept art come out of this year's Comic-Con but these were two of the coolest pieces so I'm not surprised you guys wanted to check them out. The first featured a fresh look at Black Panther and teased a mystic side to his powers with a glowing costume.

Thor: Ragnarok meanwhile pitted the God of Thunder and Loki against Hela in what looks set to be an epic battle. Neither has been released officially but we did later get a new theatrical poster for Black Panther.

3. An Epic New Look At Justice League

Your prayers have been answered. Warner Bros. has just unleashed an epic four-minute extended Comic-Con trailer for Justice League and it should get you sufficiently excited for this November!

Some questionable CGI aside, this trailer for Justice League was suitably epic and featured plenty of mind-blowing moments. That included a first look at Steppenwolf and a nod to the Green Lantern Corps which finally brings them into the DC Extended Universe.

There's still no sign of Superman but this latest sneak peek ends with a scene implying that the Man of Steel has returned and is...meeting up with Alfred?! Who knows, this could be the introduction of a brand new hero to the DCEU!

Back Next

2. Avengers And Guardians Assemble For Infinity War

Though it hasn't been officially released yet, Marvel has shared an image of an awesome concept art poster for Avengers: Infinity War, which features most of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the Guardians...

This amazing poster marked our first official look at Avengers: Infinity War so I'm not at all surprised that it was so popular this weekend! With Iron Man front and centre, he's joined by members of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Spider-Man rocking a cool new costume.

It's a stunning piece of artwork and was later joined by two more pieces which come together to reveal an incredible banner which gives us a new look at Thanos and the reveal of Captain America as Nomad rocking an awesome beard. You can see the full thing by clicking here.

1. The First Trailer For Avengers: Infinity War Leaks

Marvel Studios left us all feeling disappointed last night when they failed to release the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War but a leaked version has surfaced in its entirety and it is truly EPIC!

What else was it going to be? The biggest story on CBM in 2017 so far, the leaked trailer for Avengers: Infinity War may not have been the best quality but it will still blow your mind. Featuring our first look at Earth's Mightiest Heroes and the Guardians of the Galaxy going to war with Thanos, it's nothing short of incredible.

Sadly, Marvel hasn't done what Warner Bros. did when the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad trailers leaked by releasing an official version so this will have to do for now.

Which of these stories was your favourite from Comic-Con? Do you think Marvel won the weekend or did DC? Share your thoughts below.
