The D23 convention looked like it was going to be an awkward weekend or Marvel following the news that Spider-Man would be exiting the franchise. But thanks to some fresh casting announcements and a new look at The Eternals the studio has managed to put itself back on track.
Once again Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek and the rest of the cast were on hand to thrill the crowds. This time Kevin Feige chose to show off the casts costumes in some new concept art which was shown on stage (below). Whilst the looks of many characters have been updated from the comics this is sure to bring the team in to the MCU ready to reignite the franchise following recent losses.
