Fiction is intruding on reality and the very fabric of existence is at risk of being rent in twain! Say "what?" again! Wait, no. Motherfucking snakes and planes and such!

Blasting through the skies to Nine Inch Nails "We're In This Together," the Avengers have finally fully assembled in their brand-new trailer. Watch Captain America fight with Iron Man, get your first look at the new mean green Hulk, and hear your first Whedonism.

The first extended look at The Avengers just premiered at Disney's D23 Expo. Here's the spoiler-free version: everything we saw looked like an awesome mix of epic, funny, and badass. And now, for the spoilers...

Behold the awesome schlocky madness that is Arena — it's like Death Race minus the cars, set in virtual reality!

Nick Fury will be getting an awesome new female sidekick in The Avengers, according to Samuel L. Jackson. But who? And what cool female character from Avengers lore could director Joss Whedon be drawing on?

Seeking to prove Edwin Starr wrong, Samuel L. Jackson and his Afro Samurai co-creator Eric Calderon think that war might be good for a few things after all with their new comic series, Cold Space. "Huh!" indeed.

Hoping to see Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury in action in next year's Iron Man 2? Jackson is hinting that it may be time to lower your expectations, or else prepare for some major disappointment.

Whatever Tony Stark gets up to in Iron Man 2, he's going to be doing it beside Nick Fury. Marvel announced yesterday that Samuel L. Jackson has signed a "long-term" deal to play the character.

I'd be willing to bet that a third of people who join ascetic orders do it because it's easier than moving. That said, while packing, I uncovered the following gem of a decade-old diary entry.

With the cast list seemingly falling apart in public and the studio apparently forcing actors out due to low pay, is Iron Man 2 becoming the movie that'll end Marvel's run of movie successes?
