The bi-annually D23 Expo is the ultimate fan(tastic) place where fans of Disney/Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars gather.
At this year's D23 Expo, held at the Anaheim convention Center over the last weekend, producers, directors and celebrities took the stage to introduce a whole slate of Disney/Pixar/Marvel/Star Wars updates over the next two years.
D23 is “The Official Disney Fan Club” — established on March 2009, as the first-ever “official” club of its kind in the 90-year history of The Walt Disney Company.
Here are some of the new posters revealed at the various presentations...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 17 Dec 2015
Need we say more? This pretty much this takes the cake as one of the highly-anticipated films of 2015.
Though nothing much in terms of new footage or trailers were showed at the D23 Expo, a new commemorative poster for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens featuring artwork by Drew Struzan was revealed, to the delight of the fans. Drew Struzan is the classic Star War artist behind the theatrical posters for the prequel trilogy and the special edition of the Star Wars trilogy.
