It says Saturday on the placard and tomorrow is the Disney Live Action Panel right? So they are probably going to reveal the characters and casting for The Black Order and unveil the statues.

From the Avengers: Infinity War set:
Not a fan of that new Spider-Man outfit.
Stan Lee is there too, and was introduced at the Marvel Legends panel as well.

I'm sooooooo pumped for the Black Order. They are easily some of the best villains that have come out of Marvel in a long time.

I thought we've seen set photos and/or props that are clearly human-sized. Am I misremembering?

I think you can see both of these characters in the Thor trailer standing behind Loki and Grandmaster. I don't think they're Celestials but they're clearly wearing Celestial armor. There are characters in the bar scene with Valkyrie also wearing similar Celestial armor.
That is, if there are other beings out there wearing armor bestowed by Celestials. In the comics I think Apocalypse is the only one we know of?
Or maybe they just used the Kirby Celestial designs to inspire some other characters. Which is fine because they look awesome.

I think they're guards of some kind. Definitely working for the Grandmaster.
The Russo's are going to be walking corpses at the end of the shoot for the second film. They must be absolutely exhausted already, and they've still got a whole other (absurdly ambitious) movie to shoot.

Pachimari bringin' in all the updates
3 months off and then DO IT AGAIN.
According to the latest reports I read, they're both actually only getting three weeks off before they start shooting for the second movie.
Having to direct two wildly ambitious, big budget feature films back to back with probably the most extensive joint cast list in the history of film-making is probably a little more draining on a person than your average 9-5 day job, but sure.

The daily shoots are probably 11 hours at the very least.

Jessica Jones must be about halfway or 3/4 through principal photography and Daredevil hasn't even begun filming.
So, both are 2018, JJ before Daredevil.
I doubt it. They have the job they want.
No-one's denying that. Having a cool job doesn't necessarily make it any less tiring, though. I'm reminded about Joss Whedon talking about how Age of Ultron nearly killed him, even if he had fun doing it.
Doesn't mean they can't be tired though. Bad day at work man?
From the Avengers: Infinity War set:
That kid looks legit shook.
Closer look at the AMATW logo
...did they change the Captain Marvel logo again?
With all of these updates I can't contain my hype for the reveal of the Black Order, so I decided to start up the Infinity run for the first time, and I've just finished Avengers #14 and I have no idea what's going on. I think I see communication sites in different countries, huge cockroaches, creatures with square heads with four faces each, and some superheroes fighting off said creatures in Australia. Some of these heroes and their abilities I don't even know, so phew, what a mouthful.
There are some old logos in there as well like the Spider-Man one, and I think the Avengers one, not sure though, which is why I refrained from posting it. But cool to see the Ant-Man logo, I honestly thought it looked the same as what we had seen before.
Yeah, it was red, wasn't it?

Marvel's logo game is so on-point.

Wait a second
That guard with gold accents is based on Ziran the Tester.

Now that I think about it, it's possible MCU Celestials are able to operate in a similar way to what Ego did. Maybe they can create human sized avatars for themselves?

That is possible, but the reference prop Taika Waititi was wearing looked different.
The fuck is this. Even if they love their job, shit like this takes an enormous amount of effort and planning.

Of course.

Did you read the first two volumes of his Avengers? Honestly, Hickman's run is barely coherent for a new reader when you're going straight through... I can't imagine jumping in halfway.
Just keep in mind that he's a theme-first writer. His whole story from Avengers through to Secret Wars is about Life vs. Death. Everything else is just a weird esoteric extension of that theme.
(I just bought the Omnibus and man, all this Black Order talk has got me hyped to go back through... even if Infinity is probably the worst part of it.)
Nope. I read Avengers #14-17, then one page of New Avengers #8 (cause there weren't any more pages) and have now started Infinity #1
speaking of the black order, when I was rewatching Avengers recently I noticed the chitauri dude that was mouthing off to Loki looked a hell of a lot like Corvus (I hadnt read the comics back when I firt watched the movie), they never said his name but is that who he was supposed to be and they were teasing the Black Order all the way back then?

Some people on Twitter have apparently convinced themselves that the four covered D23 statues are the Fantastic Four rather than the Black Order, lol.
I just convinced myself of this, too.
