Agent Carter Goes to Hollywood for Season 2
Agent Carter is making the move from New York City to the West coast in Season 2. Jeph Loeb -- who began the panel sporting Peggy Carter's signature red hat -- spoke with executive producers Chris Dingess, Tara Butters, and Michele Fazekas and cast members James D'Arcy (Edwin Jarvis) and Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter) at Comic-Con about the characters, the popularity of the series, and what's ahead in Season 2.
When Agent Carter appeared in Ballroom 20 last year, it wasn't quite the same. Not much information had been released about the series yet, and Fazekas recalled, "I remember walking through the Marriott last year with you
and telling her, 'You're never going to be able do this again.'" And that's absolutely true. Butters added that working on Agent Carter is "the best job we've ever had." Butters loves seeing all the cosplay and fan art, "I love that expression of the fans and how they love they show."

Newest Halo 5 Multiplayer Warzone Map Revealed
The newest Halo 5: Guardians Warzone map, titled Raid on Apex 7, was revealed at San Diego Comic Con today.
However, rather than reveal the new map through traditional means, Microsoft and 343 teamed up with Mega Bloks to reveal the map as a gigantic brick sculpture that weighs in at over a 1000 pounds and has working LED lights and over 90,000 individual bricks.
According to Microsoft, Raid on Apex 7 is the spiritual successor to the original Halo's Silent Cartographer and is the largest Warzone level to date.
The defining feature is the Forerunner Spire in the middle of the map, a structure that provides a base of operations, the control of which Microsoft calls "paramount to a team’s success."

Agents of SHIELD Season 3 Will Have Lash
Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD became all about the Inhumans. It wrapped with Director Coulson and Daisy Johnson discussing the covert team of Inhumans Daisy would be putting together. Jeph Loeb moderated a panel at Comic-Con with SHIELD cast members Luke Mitchell (Lincoln), Henry Simmons (Mac), Nick Blood (Lance), Adrianne Palicki (Mockingbird), Iain de Caestecker (Fitz), Elizabeth Henstridge (Simmons), Ming-Na Wen (May), Brett Dalton (Ward), Chloe Bennet (Daisy Johnson), and Clark Gregg (Coulson), and they briefly discussed the events of Season 2 and revealed a bloopers reel before looking slightly ahead to Season 3.
Loeb focused on the newbies of the cast -- Mitchell, Simmons, Blood, and Palicki -- and asked them about what it was like to join the team. They've all had positive experiences in, and Palicki in particular was thrilled to join the series: "It's pretty awesome to play this character has a huge comic book fan -- there was a lot of pressure coming in."
Watch Game of Thrones Cast Audition for Their Roles
HBO has released a compilation of clips from audition reels for Game of Thrones. The audition clips are merged with the clips from the program itself, showing the actors both in character and in their auditions for the characters.
Among the stars shown in the reel are Nathalie Emmanuel, Liam Cunningham, and Tom Wlaschiha trying out for the role of Jaqen H'ghar.
Of course, all the actors who featured in the reel landed their respective roles. However, not all of their characters remained in the realm of the living, but that's sort of an ongoing theme with the show anyway.
The video is definitely worth a watch if for no other reason than to see a bunch of Game of Thrones characters dressed in normal, Earthly clothes in a non-descript audition room.
Shyamalan: Unbreakable 2 Wouldn’t Be a ‘Traditional’ Sequel
At San Diego Comic-Con this year, writer/director M. Night Shyamalan discussed the possibility of an Unbreakable 2.
When asked about the potential of making a sequel to Unbreakable, Shyamalan said, “I don’t want to do a traditional second movie. That turns me off....That turns me off of making movies. It has to be a completely original take, something unexpected.”
When asked to clarify whether he wanted to do an Unbreakable sequel, Shyamalan said, “It’s a complicated answer.”
Shyamalan explained the arc of his career is reflected in his kids. When they were infants, he made films for himself. As they grew older, he began making films for them -- such as The Last Airbender. Now that they're teenagers, he's making "edgier" films again, things that could interest or scare his teenagers.
New Superman Comic From Chronicle Writer Max Landis
DC had more to reveal about the future of the Superman franchise at SDCC today, including two new Superman mini-series from some big-name creators.
New Superman Comic Features Lois, Clark and Son
First, Neal Adams will be writing and drawing a six-issue series called Coming of the Supermen. The project will be similar to Adams' recent Batman: Odyssey in that it's a standalone book set outside current DC continuity. Coming of the Superman pits the Man of Steel against Darkseid and Kalibak. Complicating matters is the emergence of three new heroes from the bottle city of Kandor (now rechristened New Krypton), who are forced to join forces with Lex Luthor to oppose Darkseid.
Sansa Actress on Controversial Game of Thrones Scene
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 5. Trigger warning: sexual abuse
At a San Diego Comic-Con panel today, Game of Thrones' star Sophie Turner discussed Season 5's stunning sexual abuse of Sansa Stark.
"Sansa is still strong despite what she's been through," Turner said of her character's survival of the controversial rape scene. "She is not to blame for any of that." Turner joked, "I don't know why they focused on Theon during that scene because I was giving a great performance."
She continued, "Sansa has developed skills from Maergery and Cersei and other folks and is still just as strong as ever. Over this whole series she has been getting by without doing anything radical, because she knows it's dangerous for her. She could die. And that is certainly true with the Ramseys. She didn't fight. She could have, but she chose not to. She is one of those characters who does her scheming in her mind rather than openly."
