This morning's spoiler roundup lets you know how the new Star Trek movie ends, just in case you were wondering. Our spoiler-bash also includes even more hints about the inevitable Iron Man sequel, plus some clues about the slightly less inevitable Superman Returns sequel and the Wolverine prequel. And there are new clues for Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Sarah Connor Chronicles, Smallville, and the Amazing Spider-Man comic. All this, plus two new clips from tomorrow night's Lost episode. It's spoiler season!
Iron Man:
As you've probably heard, Iron Man doesn't feature the rumored cameo by Samuel L. Jackson as eyepatch-wearing superspy Nick Fury. At least, not the version shown to preview audiences. But some people are claiming the final version released to theaters will have an extra added scene that was left out of the preview version, in which Jackson shows up as Fury, recruiting for a group called the Avengers. Whether this is towards the end of the film, or after the end credits, I'm not sure. [JoBlo]
Also, director Jon Favreau has a slight cameo in the film as Happy Hogan, a supporting character from the comics who will be much more important in the second film, if any. And the DVD of the first movie will include a deleted scene at a party in Dubai where Tony meets Ghostface Killah and they know each other. [Superhero Hype]
Robert Downey Jr. says he thinks the Iron Man sequel will deal with Tony facing his newly godlike power, and Tony will turn to drink as he contemplates the enormity of what he's done. And Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts gets a boyfriend, and Tony says he's happy for her while taking a drink to console himself. Then Tony gets drunk and shows up at Pepper's place during her date, dressed in his Iron Man suit, demanding to know what the boyfriend has that he doesn't. [Sci Fi Wire]
Superman: The Man Of Steel:
And speaking of actors who aren't named Edward Norton but still have script ideas, Brandon Routh has some hints about the sequel to Superman Returns, which seems to be officially called Superman: Man Of Steel. Routh says this time around, Superman will have a "good villain that we can actually have physical altercations with." Because Superman didn't get to punch anyone/anything in the first movie, so it'll be good to have more punching this time. And there'll be more humor from Clark, plus more funny Clark/Jimmy interactions. And maybe things between Superman and Lois will be more smoothed over, and Lois "can afford to be nicer to Clark." Routh still believes Superman and Lois will end up together. [Superhero Hype]
Wolverine:
The new Wolverine-focused X-Men prequel movie, due out in 2009, is much darker than the X-Men trilogy, and is more along the lines of Batman Begins, promises star Hugh Jackman, who could star in another 10 or 11 Wolverine movies. [MTV Movies]
Star Trek:
The new Star Trek prequel movie starts with the crew going off on the start of their five-year mission, says Uhura actor Nichelle NIchols. [TrekToday]
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is scouting for two new recurring characters: Becky, a "hot teenaged hipster" who may be John's new girlfriend. And Catherine, an "unusually earthy" business leader in her early 40s, who's sort of a female Bill Gates. [Ask Ausiello]
Battlestar Galactica:
On Battlestar Galactica, the search for Earth may not take as long as you might think this season. [Ask Ausiello again]
Lost:
Here are two more clips from tomorrow night's new Lost episode, in which Jack needs medical attention. [Spoilers Lost]
Doctor Who:
More about those Doctor Who spoilers from Death Ray magazine: Gwen and Ianto from Torchwood are definitely in the season finale, the magazine says. And maybe they recruit Mickey and Martha into the depleted Torchwood team? Also, Martha is in episode six, "The Doctor's Daughter" — where the Doctor meets his daughter. And faces aliens called the Haff. Oh, and Death Ray speculates that his daughter really does come from stolen DNA. [Thanks to Keith]
Smallville:
Here are some more new images from Thursday's Smallville episode which takes place in an alternate universe, featuring Lex Luthor as president of the U.S. and Clark as the bespectacled version from the comics. And in an upcoming Smallville episode, another regular character is going to die. [Buddy TV]
Also, in the season finale, Clark's cousin Kara tells Lex that he's destined to defeat the Traveler, and offers to take him to the Fortress of Solitude to learn how. Clark is shocked that Kara would go to Lex, but she turns out to be Brainiac in disguise — the real Kara is trapped in the Phantom Zone. Chloe gets arrested by the Dept. of Domestic Security, and Lana awakens from her coma. And then Clark and Lex face off in the Fortress, and Lex learns Clark's secret. [Turkey Whisperer]
Amazing Spider-Man:
The Amazing Spider-Man comic will feature a new character named Anti-Venom, who's sort of an inverted version of the old Venon symbiote, who sported a white-on-black version of Spidey's costume. (Image below by John Romita Jr./Marvel.) Another image reveals some more upcoming stories: A shadow falls over Kraven the Hunter's grave, and Mary Jane is back. Also back are Eddie Brock, the original Venom, and Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin. [Entertainment Weekly]

Lost is new tonight?
Must ... update ... Tivo
wait - 10 or 11 Wolverine movies? i love me some hugh, but come on. that's just crazy talk.
Hahahah. Anti-Venom. Get it? It's like regular Venom, only ANTI.
Also, that Robert Downey, Jr. quote sounds like he's just fucking with us.
i can't wait to see 'Iron Man 2: Hancock'
Placing bets: Starbuck and Leoben find Earth on Friday's episode. Any takers?
@Gyrus: Vegas has taken that off the board. My guess is we get a quick glimpse at the very close of the episode, with no revelation about WHEN until next week. But they will definitely reach Earth before the finale, imho.
@Gyrus: OMG, Starbuck and Leoben are Adam and Eve!
@thesilentnight: I'm pretty sure that's a typo. Lost is on Thursday's now. Although that would be a SWEET surprise.
@augie1: that's about how I'm picturing it. Final shot of them passing Jupiter and maybe a zoom in on Earth. Cut to black. Roll credits and thumpy drum music.
@extracrispy: From the way they act, you got the gender's right in that sentence.
@Gyrus: Ben is the Final Cylon
"Lana awakens from her coma."
Damn. Her coma was the best part of that show.
Until the fourth season of BSG and specifically last week's BSG, I NEVER read spoilers. Now I figure that if the show isn't going to reveal ANYTHING that is even REMOTELY interesting, i might as well read spoilers.
Yes, I want more Venom! And Anti-Venom? I can deal with that if there's more Venom to be seen.
So, if this current run on the books retcons Brock's slowly whithering away, then maybe it can do more. Am I the only one who wants Ben Reilly back?
... Anti... venom...
-head desk-
@strixus: I KNOW. WHAT THE HELL?
Why don't they just start mashing up spider man, like re-mixing a shitty pop song.
Spider-spawn. Woverine-man. Spider-X the mutant.
Jeeebus. Why doesn't anybody invent new things anymore?
You guys should see the idea they all most went with...
Brock was living with his girlfriend when her dad comes to stay. Being a conservative, he would disown her if he found out they were living together, so Brock dresses up as her friends' aging, super-villian aunt.
Yes it's non-stop laughs in this comedy of errors! You can't help but love the shennanigans galore in...
"Auntie Venom"
Holy damn, Anti-Venom... I'm excited.
@MikeRapin: Don't let him touch regular Venom! They will EXPLODE!
@yayaja67: You clearly weren't paying attention last week, where it was revealed that Chief didn't love Cally and isn't sad about her death, Baltar can be physically moved by the visions in his head and the death of the president looms so large on Rosalyn, that she's making weird and questionable decisions.
We also got several neat little moments of Colonial culture, more development in the Tory/Baltar relationship and Tigh got the crap beat out of him by Six and liked it.
All in all, a pretty full 45 minutes of drama. Sure nothing blew up (except a Raptor) but you can't have fireworks every day, because then the Fourth of July is just another picnic.
@Miranda Kali: Holy damn, Auntie Venom... I'm excited.
The Doctors daughter is being played by Peter Davison's daughter, Georgia Moffett.
so disappointed in spiderman lately.
Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, of SHIELD appears at the end of the credits of Iron Man.
Hey Charlie, you remember how you said "That rumor has been dead for a while", and I said it's still repeatedly brought up? You just brought it up again :-D
Anti-Venom... Wow, that's... kind of sad...
The Mickey and Martha regulars on Torchwood rumour is old (I believe I read it here on IO9 first, even), but this seems to somewhat verify it. A shame, as you pointed out some morning spoilers ago, all the crap Doctor Who rumours appear to be true. Having Mickey aboard would definitely cement the more family-oriented tone Torchwood will reputedly have next series, which is pretty much the opposite direction I'd want them to go in. However, it does allegedly feature Freema Agyeman, so of course I will see it.
@Priam: As it should be: The Doctor's daughter IS the Doctor's daughter!
And the new kid on Sarah Connor; at least she's a hot, teenage hipster, and not an emo...
@Miranda Kali: actually, the character is a miniaturizing, virtual version of venom who can travel via Ethernet cables and change size at will: Ant E-Venom.
@thesilentnight: Whoops... sorry, I have no clue what day of the week it is. I fixed it now -- Lost is still on Thursdays.
Comic books.
My Anti-Venom.
@Smeagol92055: Beautiful
Venom is the best. Loooove the symbiote.
I just want to take this moment to once again say that Lost's Daniel is awesome. The end.
@CMG (violating company policy since 1999): Maybe they were counting in binary?
