Disney just held the second ‘D23 Expo’ this past weekend in Anaheim, their membership-based fan event, and released a ton of info on upcoming movies. We weren’t able to make it (mark my words, next year) but a lot of blogs have been doing a great job of summing up the news. To make it easy to find out what was announced, we’ve compiled all the biggest stories into this roundup. I’m sure we missed something, but everything here is pretty awesome. It definitely sounds like Disney is doing a good job with these conventions.

Avengers...disco!

Something we discussed in the first episode of Bubble Pipe Theater (that should go live next week) is the fact that so many photos and videos of next summer’s two biggest movies, The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, are leaking online like crazy. Fanboys are in full-on speculation/rage mode about a lot of the things leaking, but lets face it, these folks know what they’re doing, and the final product is going to look a hell of a lot better.

That being said, the footage from the ‘Avengers’ set that leaked today featuring Thor and Captain America can be considered spoilerish, so read on after the jump.

As I’ve said before, I love a good mash-up. This Threadless submission by Steven Lefcourt is another brilliant example. He combined the two most iconic of Marvel’s Avengers with Finn and Jake from Pendleton Ward’s animated series Adventure Time. The character cross-over is brilliant but title combination makes it almost a magical mix. (The inclusion of Mjolnir in the title graphic is an extra special touch.)

There’s something about the idea of a Thor movie that is starting to interest me. Maybe it’s the fact that I don’t know much about Thor, and don’t see how they’ll make him fit into the realistic movie universe they are crafting with the Iron Man movies.

The first pic of Chris Hemsworth as Thor was released today, and I kinda dig it. I’d love to see some hammer and/or helmet action, but this will do for now. I guess we’ll find out in 2011 how Captain Kirk’s daddy does as the god of thunder.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of news from the Disney/Marvel acquisition front yet, until now. Some enterprising fanboys discovered that one of Disney’s recent domain name purchases was ANT-MAN-THE-MOVIE.COM. We already knew that Disney has to keep their hands off the Marvel film franchises already in development with other studios, so they’re obviously frantically flipping through the pages looking for undeveloped characters.

Lets just hope that they stick with the Edgar Wright version of Ant-Man.
