Has The Villain Of The Avengers Movie Already Been Revealed?
Sometimes fake spoilers are more fun than real ones — as in the case of a Transformers 2 script treatment that's probably fake, but hilarious. It can also be fun to watch people speculate wildly, as one insider has about the plot of the Avengers movie. And there's nothing more fun than a passel of G.I. Joe rumors. But then again, it's sometimes cool to have actual facts, like what was the deal in last Friday's Battlestar Galactica, or what's coming up next on Heroes, Lost, Chuck or The Middleman. We also have a new Wanted clip, and the first pic of the monster from The Descent 2. A bevy of fake and real spoilers await. More »

Can Anything Kill The Superhero Movie Trend?
It seems like the superhero movies are an unstoppable force, their radiation-blasted muscles pushing past all obstacles. Increasingly, the summer belongs to men and women in silly outfits flying around zapping each other. But every fad has to end sometime, and the superpowered epic trend is no different. What could bring the reign of the superheroes to an end? More »

More Heroes Than You'd Expect In The Hulk
As if you needed another reason to go and see The Incredible Hulk outside of the possibility of another gamma-irradiated box office bomb and a cameo from Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, director Louis Letterier let slip a pretty big, previously-unknown, potential guest shot this weekend. One that ties in with both Iron Man and also two future Marvel movies. Spoilers after the jump. More »

It's All Super-Soldiers And Gods In Upcoming Marvel Movies
Between mecha-fighter Iron Man's second movie, coming in April 30, 2010, and military-sponsored super-soldier Captain America, coming May 6, 2011, Marvel Comics' upcoming movie slate has a very militaristic feel. But where's the peaceful shrinking scientist Ant-Man, who communicates with ants? Apprently his movie's on hold, so we can get Norse god Thor's movie, directed by Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake), on June 4, 2010. Captain America's full title will be The First Avenger: Captain America, and his film will be followed by The Avengers in July 2011. Also in the pipeline: Spider-Man: The Musical and Spider-Man the video game (out in fall 2008). [AP Press via Newsarama]

What's Coming After Marvel's Skrull Massacre?
Spider-Man's Aunt May not only hooked up with a shapeshifting alien Skrull pretending to be the Avengers' butler Jarvis — she's also pregnant with a half-Skrull baby! Or maybe not. Luckily, fake spoilers weren't all the Marvel editors and creators let slip during today's New York Comic-Con panels. They also teased some upcoming projects, both during and after the Secret Invasion story about the Skrulls impersonating the heroes (and villains) of the Marvel Universe. Find out how the Avengers will make you rich, and what classic hero may soon return. More »
No Marvel Movies In 2009?
If you think the writers' strike only hurt television and didn't affect the movie industry, just ask Marvel Entertainment. Marvel is only slating one movie for 2009, instead of the two per year it would normally put out. (Currently in development: Ant-man, Captain America, Thor and The Avengers.) But even that one movie isn't certain, execs told Wall Street analysts in a conference call on Marvel's fourth-quarter 2007 earnings. Also, Marvel warned that the horrendous shape of the U.S. economy could hurt its (currently healthy) finances in 2008, but execs couldn't point to any specific warning signs. If you see Spider-Man selling underoos off a sidewalk card table, you'll know why. [Transcript]

Vitals: John Steed is a bowler-wearing secret agent who doesn't seem to have any bosses. He, and a rotating cast of sidekicks, go around defeating evil conspiracies and occasionally battling the Cybernauts, who are pretty much what they sound like. More »
