Director James Gunn has decided against releasing the first Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 trailer to the public for the time being because he isn't completely satisfied with the VFX.

The first official footage of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, but it was exclusively screened for those in Hall H and didn't appear online afterwards. Several fans took to social media to share their disappointment over its notable absence online, to which Gunn replied and explained that he felt it wasn't quite ready for public viewing.

I wish you could have too. But it’s not just Marvel, it’s also me. Although I love the teaser some VFX aren’t where I’d want them to be for repeated views & close inspection – remember we didn’t wrap long ago – so you’ll have to wait just a beat! Sorry! https://t.co/NAz0gIedo8

Gunn explained that, while he personally loves the trailer, he has decided to hold it back for "a beat" because the VFX needs some fine-tuning before it receives "repeated views and close inspection" from the general public. He also reminded fans that they only finished filming in May, so there is still quite a lot of work to be completed in post-production at this stage.

Nevertheless, Marvel gave the Hall H crowd a sneak peek of what's to come in the third and final chapter of Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. It showed some big changes taking place with the cosmic crew, including the debut of Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the Spacedog. The trailer also revealed Gamora running a section of the Ravagers, together with glimpses of Groot and Rocket Raccoon.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be part of Phase 5 of the MCU, and is set to be released on May 5, 2023. The trailer was screened during a deluge of news at SDCC, where we learned tons about Marvel's plans for the finale of Phase 4, as well as both Phases 5 and 6, now dubbed the Multiverse Saga, alongside tons of other announcements, trailers, and teasers at the event.

The creators of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law have discussed the challenges of having a CG character lead a series, acknowledging the "growing pains" they went through to achieve the desired results.

She-Hulk head writer and executive producer Jessica Gao spoke to IGN at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 about the extraordinary challenge of relying almost entirely on VFX to bring Tatiana Maslany's titular superhero to life. Gao admitted it had been a process of "trial and error" and not one that they would necessarily rush to repeat, even though they eventually managed to pull it off.

"This was unprecedented because [Marvel has] never made a TV show where the lead character is completely CG when she's the title character," Gao explained. "When we first started, we didn't really have a plan or know how we were gonna do it. We just knew we were gonna do it and I just figured, 'Look, it's Marvel. They know what they're doing. They're gonna figure it out.'"

However, Gao admitted that it was not as simple as that and it took time for the team to reach an outcome that they were satisfied with. "It's been a process of trial and error," she added. "There's been a lot of growing pains. I think if we had to do it over again, we would probably think long and hard about how often we want a CG character on screen, but it all worked out."

Director Kat Coiro, on the other hand, viewed the undertaking as less of a challenge and more of an opportunity to experiment with VFX using the suite of tools that were available to them. She explained that the actors helped them to incorporate that into production, as they worked together to capture the authenticity of their characters.

"One of the coolest things about working with Marvel is that you get to try every tool that is out there and it's right on the cutting edge, so our methodology was [to use] everything that exists to capture actors' honest performance," Coiro said, sharing more about their approach. "It didn't even feel like a challenge at the end of the day. It felt like a part of the process."

The first trailer for She-Hulk received significant backlash for the sub-par quality of its VFX but the footage also revealed some important connections to the greater MCU as well as a few new players – including Frog Man, the beloved oaf with a heart of gold who has already made it into the hearts of fans across social media.

A new trailer for She-Hulk debuted at Comic-Con, teasing more of the series ahead of its premiere on August 17 and confirming the rumored appearance of Charlie Cox's Daredevil.

Marvel also delved deeper into their plans for the next few years, announcing that She-Hulk would be the penultimate Phase 4 entry and that more Avengers films are on the way.

Despite She-Hulk: Attorney at Law being a comedy overall, its fourth wall breaks aren't just for laughs, the cast and crew have said.

Speaking to IGN at San Diego Comic-Con, co-director Kat Coiro said the team has "some big surprises coming regarding the fourth wall", which will be broken for the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during She-Hulk's Disney+ series.

"I think breaking the fourth wall asks a lot of questions that I hope we get to answer for you in the show" added co-director Anu Valia. "So I just don't want to give too much away. But it's very fun, it's very cool."

The breaks also have a deeper meaning according to actress Tatiana Maslany (who plays Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk), who said the hyper-awareness displayed is representative of "a woman moving through the world".

Maslany continued: "You have to be so conscious of the systems that you're in, and you are just so aware of how it is when you're walking down the street, who's there, [and so on]. That kind of hyper-awareness in a lot of ways feels like her superpower and I think that's fun.

"And also, it's a great way to bring the audience in. They already jump into the universe of the MCU but to be like 'hey, I know, I see you coming in so let's go together' is kind of a fun thing."
