The Best of Comic-Con 2016
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is over, and we're still recovering from the four-day long marathon of getting new trailers, reveals and details about our favorite TV shows, films, comics and games. Now that Comic-Con is done, it's time to take a look back at what made the biggest impression at this year's annual geek celebration.
One of the biggest announcements of Comic-Con was the confirmation that Brie Larson will in fact be playing Carol Danvers in Marvel's upcoming Captain Marvel film. The actress was already at SDCC to promote her role in Kong: Skull Island, but she crashed the end of Marvel's Hall H panel on Saturday to announce her part in the upcoming project.
Fans got their first look at Sony and Marvel's upcoming standalone Spider-Man film during Marvel's Hall H panel. Viewers already got a look at Peter Parker as a superhero in Captain America: Civil War, so it's fitting that the footage shown focused on him as a teenager. Director Jon Watts emphasized that Spider-Man: Homecoming will be a high school film, and we got Freaks & Geeks and John Hughes vibes from the footage we saw.

Is this Lady Layton?
