That, my friends, would be the Infinity Gauntlet from Thor.  If you don't know what that is, read all about it here.  If you do know, than it's pretty obvious that this has gotten everybody even more excited about Thor.  We don't know how big of a role it will play in the film just yet, but the fact that it's there is good enough for me.  So, with that being said, below is the description of the footage that was shown from Thor at Comic-Con.  It should also be noted that this was shown to the audience in 3D.

"...the footage begins with a lightning crack that seems to be the running theme of the footage shown, which makes sense being that this is the God of Thunder and that creating lightning is one of his principal skills. We see an aerial shot of a S.H.I.E.L.D. base where Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson is grilling Chris Hemsworth's Thor, who is in handcuffs slumped in a chair.

Coulson is giving Thor a long monologue, as he's prone to do, trying to find out who this man before him is. He says to him, with suitably long pauses for added effect:

"One way or another, we find out what we want to know," he says. "We're good at that. It's not easy to do what you did."

We see Thor breaking out of what seems to be a hospital but is more likely to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. containment center, throwing people around and throwing someone in a quarantine suit through the outside of a plastic containment area.

"You make my men, some of the most highly trained professionals in the world look like a minimum wage mall cops," Coulson continues.

We see Thor fighting more S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers using a very physical way of combat, at one point jumping up and kicking a guy full on the chest with both feet.

"In my experience," Coulson says. "It takes someone who received similar training to do what you did to them? Why don't you tell me where you received that training." Pause. "Afghanistan? You strike me more as a soldier of fortune type."  During this part of his interrogation, we see more of Thor fighting and a bunch of explosions.

"Who are you?" He finally asks, and at this, Thor looks up at him from the chair.

The rest of the description can be found after the break.

A source of ours is telling us that Adrien Brody is very close to signing a deal with Marvel that could see him playing either Ant-Man or Dr. Strange.  Now, this isn't the first time that we've heard his name and Ant-Man's in the same sentence.   Other sites have reported that before.  What we're being told  is that we might hear an announcement about one of these characters soon.  Stay tuned.

Above is a picture taken from the showroom floor at Comic-Con over the weekend you can all tell who that belongs to.  As expected, footage from Captain America was shown during the Marvel panel and apparently people were very excited by what was shown, even though they have only been shooting for a little over a week now.  Below is SuperHeroHype's description of what was shown.

"We're starting with Captain America and they showed a great teaser for the movie which started with an air raid siren, which led to archival footage of World War II with famous quotes voiced over the top. We can see that there's an alternating red, white and blue background as we see different scenes from World War II.

The titles say...  "In the world's greatest (something), Our Courage and Strength Led Us Into Battle. Stories Emerged of Heroes, But One Story Has Never Been Told."

The red, white and blue background slowly pulls back to show us that it is indeed Captain America's shield.

There's a voice-over of Franklin D. Roosevelt saying "Today we must create the finest army in history, and every army starts with one man."

And we see Captain America in shadow. (The crowd goes wild.)

"Next summer, meet the world's first Avenger."

And we see our first look as Chris Evans as Captain America. (Crowd goes wilder.)

Then we see the "Captain America" logo and the next shot has Captain America throwing his shield at the camera.

Geoff Boucher then brought out director Joe Johnston, Chris Evans, and Hugo Weaving to talk about the movie and their characters.

Kevin Feige told the crowd that the shots we saw was footage from the costume test.

They've only been shooting Captain America for eight days, so Hugo Weaving says that he's only spent one day in the Red Skull mask, but he didn't want to do his German accent, but they then decided to show us the first footage that they shot last week, which looked fantastic"
