The main Marvel Studios panel is not the only one Marvel will be bringing. Saturday will also feature a costume design panel featuring multiple costume designers who have worked in the MCU including Ruth Carter who joins the MCU as costume designer for Black Panther. You can check out the Marvel FILM related panels below:
THURSDAY
2017: The State of Iron Man Tech
2:00 PM- 3:00 PM
Room 32AB
Tony Stark and the technologies he creates are a part of modern lexicon. Mainstream publications like The Atlantic run articles like “Everyone Wants Elon Musk to Be Tony Stark,” and Musk himself admits that some of his inventions are modeled after Stark creations. While Musk has yet to build a flying exosuit or a J.A.R.V.I.S.-style assistant, others have. Some of these inventors will join moderator Steve Broback (Dent the Future, LLC) to discuss their innovations—ones that could have come straight out of Stark Industries. Panelists include inventor and TED speaker Richard Browning(founder of Gravity.co), who actually flies via his jet engine-powered suit, along with Chris Gerty (informatics subsystem team lead, NASA—Johnson Space Center), Adam Draper (founder & managing director, Boost VC), and Zoë Bell (stuntwoman and actress).
