After the Comic-Con 2012 panel for 'The Hobbit' Peter Jackson met with reporters and was asked about the rumors that they're working on some additional filming and if that might mean there could actually be three 'Hobbit' films. Here's what he had to say...
Though we'll have more coverage of the event as it unfolds, Marvel has been dropping nuggets like crazy at Comic-Con 2012 about 'Thor 2,' 'Captain America 2,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Ant-Man.' Check out what we know, and check out the new art for these titles.
Many of us come to Comic-Con ready to talk nerdy about obscure characters that have only appeared in an out-of-continuity one-shot. There is, however, an understood love we have for the most basic, universal characters. To some, Superman, is comic books. And it's time to bring him back to comic book movies.
Trolls! Dwarves! Maniacs in beards! But enough about the audience here at San Diego Comic-Con, let's talk about Warner Bros.'s closer to its massive two-and-a-half-hour panel: 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
If there's one thing movie fans have seen over the years, it's that Superman is a tough nut to crack when it comes to making him work on film. Can the combined efforts of director Zack Snyder and producer Christopher Nolan deliver what 'Superman Returns' failed to deliver? Can 'Man of Steel' reinvent Superman for modern audiences? That's the question. Oh, and here's the film's first official poster.

And that's too bad for everyone who wasn't there because 'Pacific Rim' knocked the socks off of Hall H.
In between the Pacific Rim and Hobbit footage showcased at the Comic-Con 2012 Warner Bros. panel, Thomas Tull, the exec from Legendary Pictures, whipped a secret out of his ear.
The lights darkened, some vaguely Japanese calligraphy font gave the company titles, some gong-like percussion was heard and...
The Comic-Con 2012 Marvel panel seemed really more like an 'Iron Man 3' panel from the start. It was previously announced that Marvel President Kevin Feige would be bringing some "special guests" to "provide an inside look at the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe."
Despite having "comic" in its title, much of the attention lavished on Comic Con these days has to do with the various movie and TV panels, not comic books. Ironically, it takes the involvement of one of the most admired filmmakers working today to get comics back into the headlines. For the record, that headline is "Quentin Tarantino Will Be Making His Comic Writing Debut By Adapting 'Django Unchained' Into A Five-Part Miniseries For DC Comics."
