The Menacing Doctor Doom Suit in Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel Studios utilized the D23 Expo to unveil a first look at the Avengers: Doomsday experience, centering on a new, menacing Doctor Doom suit.

Neil Patrick Harris and the Unconfirmed Star Wars Tease
One of the most enigmatic moments of the event involved Neil Patrick Harris, who may have accidentally teased a major Star Wars announcement. While the report mentions this occurred during the D23 festivities, the specific details of what Harris may have revealed remain unclear, leaving the community to speculate on the nature of the leak.
This leaves several critical questions unanswered: specifically, what the nature of the Star Wars announcement is and whehter Lucasfilm intends to officially confirm the tease. Furthermore, while the snowsuits for Ahsoka Season 2 evoke The Clone Wars, Lucasfilm has not confirmed if these costumes indicate specific flashback sequences or a new setting entirely.
