As for the exclusive footage from "Thor: Ragnarok," the humorous approach seen in the trailers is still present. The scenes mainly featured Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meeting the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) as well as the chaos currently plaguing Asgard.
What is surprising about the footage is that it also featured a scene where the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) appears to be engaging in a conversation with his fellow Avenger, something that hasn't happened yet in the MCU.
Glimpses of "Ant-Man and the Wasp" as well as "Captain Marvel" were also revealed. Although these were lacking in details, they were enough to give fans an idea of what to expect for these two films.
The biggest of the MCU's upcoming films, "Avengers: Infinity War," obviously got a lot of love during SDCC 2017. Most of it revolved around Thanos (Josh Brolin), particularly his new look and the film's plan to make him the Darth Vader of the Marvel franchise.
"Thor: Ragnarok" is set to be released on Nov. 3. It will be followed by "Black Panther" on Feb. 16, 2018, and "Avengers: Infinity War" on May 4, 2018.
