This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Marvel is centrally located in the Exhibit Hall as per usual, though the exhibit space had original costume pieces up front and in a case this year, which is a departure from their usual open air displays up on the stage. But knowing Marvel, they do have a tendency to change things up each day and there may be more coming (and if that is the case, this feature will be updated). This year on display as of Preview Night, they had an Iron Man Mark I costume from the original Iron Man as well as a helmet and civilian costume worn by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in Avengers: Infinity War. UPDATE also see Thursday/Part 2 with Captain America, Friday/Part 3 with Thor and Part 4/Saturday “Women” & Part 5/Sunday “Villains”. [Read more…]
