Could we hear news about daredevil?

2:56

2:56
Silas Lesnick: Hey everybody! Things are about to get started here in Ballroom 20.

2:58
Silas Lesnick: There are still a few more fans trickling in, but it seems just about every seat is taken.

2:58
Silas Lesnick: Personally, I’m super excited for this one. I’ve grown really fond of AoS over the course of the first season.

Comment From Joey
Agent Carter takes place during the midseason break,right?

3:00
Spencer Perry-SHH: Correct. Starts in EARLY 2015

3:00
Comment From John
I thought for sure enough people had lined up for hours that the ballroom would be full long before the panel started.

3:00
Silas Lesnick: It’s been packed all day, but some people left who were here for previous panels, so they’re letting in as many people from the line as they can.

3:00
Comment From DuToit
Will any of the cast be present at the panel?

3:01
Silas Lesnick: Yep! I believe that just about everyone from the main cast is here, but I bet we’ll get a few surprises, too!

3:02
Silas Lesnick: The Marvel logo has just come on the screens!

3:03
Silas Lesnick: The score is building in intensity over the speakers at the moment, but the stage is still empty.

3:04
Silas Lesnick: Moderator Jeph Loeb has taken the stage to thunderous applause!

3:04
Silas Lesnick: Loeb, of course, is also the show’s Executive Producer.

3:05
Silas Lesnick: He says we’ll be seeing some big surprises!

3:07
Silas Lesnick: He’s doing a quick recap of the first season, although it seems like the crowd is finishing his sentences for him 🙂

3:07
Silas Lesnick: “Any fans of SHIELD?” (applause!) “Any fans of Hydra?” (even louder applause!)

3:08
Silas Lesnick: He just unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a Hydra logo t-shirt!

3:08
ComingSoon.net: Hail Hydra.

3:08
Silas Lesnick: Not you, Mirko! 🙂

3:08
ComingSoon.net: Sorry?

3:08
Silas Lesnick: They just put an Agent Carter logo on the screen!

3:09
ComingSoon.net: Here’s the shirt reveal – https://twitter.com/Agentso…

3:10
Silas Lesnick: CARTER Showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas have taken the stage!

3:10
Silas Lesnick: Joined by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who wrote the Carter character in both Captain America films.

3:11
Silas Lesnick: Now Marvel Studios’ Louis D’Esposito has joined them…

3:11
Silas Lesnick: Hayley Atwell, too!

3:12
Silas Lesnick: Fazekas and Butters and talking about moving from their previous series, Resurrection, which they’ll be continuing on in addition to their work on Agent Carter.

3:13
Silas Lesnick: Markus and McFeely say they’re really excited for the series because they didn’t have time to do more with Carter in The Winter Soldier.

3:14
Comment From João Paulo – BR
I love Hayley, but they tell nothing about the supporting cast?

3:14
Silas Lesnick: It looks like there are still two empty seats! We’ll see 🙂

3:15
Silas Lesnick: They’ve just handed out lanyards with the SHIELD logo and what looks to be a QR code. Let’s see where it leads…

3:16
Silas Lesnick: No footage yet because they haven’t started shooting.

3:16
Silas Lesnick: The series will be set in 1946 and there will be some historical connectivity with Agents of SHIELD.

3:16
Silas Lesnick: It looks like they are showing something! Be right back!

3:18
Silas Lesnick: We just saw a very cool teaser, although it’s made mostly of footage from the short and The First Avenger.

3:18
Silas Lesnick: It’s a montage of actual newsreels from the era with Carter herself narrating.

3:18
Silas Lesnick: Mixed in with historical footage, we see some newspaper headlines that imply that Howard Stark will be accused of being a traitor.

3:19
Silas Lesnick: The Russos are directing both the second and third episode of AGENT CARTER!

3:19
Silas Lesnick: Joe Johnston will be directing the fourth episode!

3:19
Spencer Perry-SHH: Awesome!

3:20
Silas Lesnick: The first audience question arrives from a Peggy Carter cosplayer!

3:21
Silas Lesnick: Another Peggy cosplayed is asking about Dominic Cooper!

3:21
Silas Lesnick: D’Esposito is playing it coy, saying “It would be wonderful if that could happen.”

3:21
Silas Lesnick: Ha! A THIRD Carter cosplayer! She’s asking about other strong female characters in the supporting cast.

3:22
Silas Lesnick: The show runners say that they can’t reveal too much yet, but imply that we’ll see some very strong female character “both good and bad”.

3:22
Silas Lesnick: Another cosplayer, but this one is a female Winter Soldier!

3:23
Silas Lesnick: She asked about Atwell serving as a role model for women. She says it’s something that makes her incredibly proud.

3:23
Silas Lesnick: I think that’s it for Agent Carter. The Marvel logo is back up.

3:24
Silas Lesnick: One of the other cool bits from the teaser is some fake WWII footage of planes with the Stark Industries logo on them.

3:28
Silas Lesnick: They just showed a lengthy recap of the first season. It’s all old footage, but it’s awesome seeing it on a big screen!

3:29
Comment From Curious George
Where does the QR code on the lanyard badge lead?

3:29
Silas Lesnick: No luck scanning it yet! It might not be active yet.

3:30
Silas Lesnick: Here comes the cast! Iain Da Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge appropriately entered together…

3:30
Silas Lesnick: Followed by Chloe Bennet and Ming-Na Wen!

3:31
Silas Lesnick: Brett Dalton has entered, also wearing a HYDRA shirt!

3:32
Silas Lesnick: A big, big standing ovation now for Clark Gregg!

3:32
Comment From Dora the explorer
Agente Carter has a date already?

3:32
Silas Lesnick: No date, but the teaser says 2015.

3:33
Silas Lesnick: “There may be a few more surprises coming,” says Loeb, as he begins the questions for the cast.

3:34
Silas Lesnick: Loeb just asked De Caestecker (Fitz) about how he now feels about Agent Ward.

3:34
Silas Lesnick: He says he’s heartbroken and doesn’t want to talk about it.

3:34
Silas Lesnick: Same question for Wen!

3:34
Silas Lesnick: “Let’s just say, it made me want to do some home improvement. With some power tools. On his foot.”

3:35
Silas Lesnick: Henstridge says that playing Simmons makes her feel a lot more intelligent.

3:35
Silas Lesnick: “I almost said cleverer, but that would have ruined the point.”

3:36
Silas Lesnick: Bennet is complaining that she only got to be an Agent for one day before “it all went to s–t”

3:37
Silas Lesnick: “I still ship Skye/Ward,” says Bennett, “But it’s going to take awhile.”

3:37
Silas Lesnick: “In the meantime, I’m just fine with Skimmons.”

3:37
Silas Lesnick: Loeb is asking Dalton how it felt to learn Ward’s secrets.

3:38
Silas Lesnick: He said he was so worried about his meeting that he stalled as long as he could.

3:38
Silas Lesnick: After he found out, his jaw dropped for 15 minutes.

3:38
Silas Lesnick: “So I’m not being fired?” he laughs. “But I’m a bad guy? And I’m not a part of the team?”

3:40
Silas Lesnick: “Agent Coulson, Director Coulson and Clark have been merging,” Gregg kids.

3:41
Silas Lesnick: “And all of us,” he says of learning he was becoming Director Coulson, “At that moment all said ‘Squeeeeeee!'”

3:41
Silas Lesnick: Some cast announcements are coming!

3:41
Silas Lesnick: They’re confirming Lucy Lawless “playing a longtime SHIELD veteran”

3:42
Silas Lesnick: “Her name is Isabelle Hartley…. She may always have a knife by her side.”

3:42
Silas Lesnick: An actor named Nick Blood is joining the cast.

3:42
Silas Lesnick: He plays a mercenary. No name yet!

3:43
Silas Lesnick: I suspect Isabelle is the woman that Victoria hand was dating in the comics.

3:44
Silas Lesnick: Daniel Whitehall, “The Kraken” will be featured in season two, too!

3:44
Silas Lesnick: They’re about to explain the lanyards…

3:45
Silas Lesnick: Coulson says Marvel and SHIELD are basically the same thing.

3:45
Silas Lesnick: “Everything we give you will have a secret purpose!”

3:46
Silas Lesnick: The lanyard will access “The unseen missions of Season One”

3:46
Silas Lesnick: Hold on, footage is coming…

3:50
Silas Lesnick: They just showed a lengthy (and really, really funny) blooper reel!

3:51
Silas Lesnick: It looks like an incredible fun set. One of the best laughs comes from a scene where Coulson is talking to Simmons, Skye and May and they all end with, “Yes, Charlie!” and strike CHARLIE’s ANGELS poses.

3:51
Silas Lesnick: The first audience question comes from a little kid Coulson cosplayer (carrying Coulson’s massive gun, too!)

3:52
Silas Lesnick: The question has been asked about who they feel about Ward potentially being redeemed.

3:52
Silas Lesnick: “Terrible” – says Simmons

3:52
Silas Lesnick: “Fine” says Fitz.

3:53
Silas Lesnick: Bennet says he’s sexier as HYDRA.

3:53
Silas Lesnick: “I don’t feel good about it,” says Gregg, “But maybe if he brings Fitz a monkey.”

3:54
Silas Lesnick: A Deadpool cosplayer asked if Deadpool could appear on the show but Loeb says they don’t have the rights.

3:54
Comment From Bob, Agent of HYDRA
Who else is on the panel? Is Maurissa Tancharoen Whedon there?

3:54
Silas Lesnick: Yep, sorry. They’re there too, with Jeff Bell.

3:55
Silas Lesnick: A little girl just asked the cast how they reacted to the Ward news.

3:56
Silas Lesnick: Coulson says that the reveal is, in reality, just like the the characters learning about the twist.

3:56
Silas Lesnick: Although he says that, in reality, he ultimately thought it was really, really fun and cool.

3:56
Silas Lesnick: “You were freaking out going ‘He kissed me!'” Wen says to Bennet. “I slept with him!”

3:57
Silas Lesnick: Dalton says that, as much has he hated not hanging out with the cast as much, it was kind of worth it to act with Bill Paxton.

3:58
Silas Lesnick: Gregg says that, immediately after learning about the twist, the whole cast got to see a super-early screening of THE WINTER SOLDIER.

3:58
Silas Lesnick: Season two started filming yesterday.

3:59
Silas Lesnick: They’re about to show something…

4:00
Silas Lesnick: The footage opens on the SHIELD logo with a spotlight on it.

4:00
Silas Lesnick: A shadow enters, falling across the eagle logo.

4:01
Silas Lesnick: It’s Patton Oswalt, in character as Agent Koenig! He’s talking about the importance of lanyards.

4:01
Silas Lesnick: He’s wearing the same lanyard they gave us.

4:02
Silas Lesnick: Midway through Koenig’s speech, another Oswalt has entered. They’re arguing back and forth.

4:03
Silas Lesnick: Mockingbird is going to be joining the team!

4:03
Silas Lesnick: Sadly, that looks like it for the panel. No word on who might be playing her.

4:04
Comment From Joey
Who is Mockingbird?

4:05
Silas Lesnick: Mockingbird is an Avenger! She’s been part of the comics since the early 70s.

4:05
Comment From Goop
Mockingbirds back story is actually pretty similar to Skye.

4:06
Silas Lesnick: In theory, she could BE Skye 🙂

4:06
Spencer Perry-SHH: Wonder if Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye will show up and visit her 🙂

4:06
Silas Lesnick: That’d be mighty cool!

4:07
Silas Lesnick: I’m out, guys! Thanks so much for reading!

4:07
Silas Lesnick: Of course, we’ll have the BIG Marvel panel live-blogged tomorrow, so expect a LOT of developments in the MCU.
