Get to Know Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth’s Super Alter Egos with the ‘Avengers’ Character Posters
At San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel handed out these amazing concept posters for Joss Whedon‘s Avengers movie at their booth. Like a triptych, the seven posters — featuring Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), and five others — make up one big illustration of the Avengers. While there’s no sign of the movie’s big enemies, this is the clearest look we’ve had at the superheroes who’ve assembled under the always-badass Samuel L. Jackson and S.H.I.E.L.D. (the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division). More »

Crushable Dream Cast: Live-Action ‘Captain Planet’
Incredible news: Cartoon Network is working with Transformers producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford to bring our generation’s favorite environmentally-conscious cartoon Captain Planet to the big-screen — in a live-action movie! This was one of those shows that you realize now was incredibly cheesy, especially because it was so educational; but when you were a little kid, summoning a superhero from five magic rings to save the environment seemed nothing short of badass.
A great thing about this live-action movie is how removed it will be from the series, which ran from 1990-1996. So even though stars like Meg Ryan, Whoopi Goldberg, and LeVar Burton voiced the characters, you can have a whole new crop of actors in this reboot. Here’s our dream cast. First off, the Planeteers and the people who make them great. More »

I’ve chosen the cutest shots of celebs interacting with their tiny doppelgangers, though I realize at least half are cute guys. So, it’s like our “Hot Guys Holding Baby Animals” office calendar, but for the geek set, and with a few ladies and older guys thrown in. More »
Poll: Johnny Depp’s Kids Think Iron Man Is Cooler Than Jack Sparrow
Things I did not know about Johnny Depp:
1) His distinctive sense of style was developed through the careful perfection of the “reach into the closet and wear whatever you grab” technique.
2) He used to use the name “Mr. Stench” as an alias during hotel stays, mostly because he enjoyed hearing the hotel staff say “This is your 6 o’clock wake-up call, Mr. Stench.” (Bonus if it’s in a foreign accent.)
3) He fears dancing.
4) His kids think Iron Man is cooler than Jack Sparrow. More »
