Joss Whedon hints Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are in Avengers 2

And when I say “hints,” I mean “basically confirms.” Here’s the not-very-vague Avengers 2 bombshell Joss dropped at the Iron Man 3 premiere last night: “When you’re dealing with the story, when you’ve got the characters that you love, when you’ve got the new characters sliding in next to them – it’s very exciting. Then…

The Avengers are Earth’s Mightiest Sexists in Marvel’s amazingly awful new shirts

One of these Marvel Avengers shirts is a boys shirt, and one is a girls shirt. TRY TO GUESS WHICH IS WHICH. Really, Marvel? Really? Even if you ignore the insane sexism posed by releasing these two t-shirts simultaneously — like, even if you are genuinely, unrepentantly sexist in real life, which I don’t believe…

12 Iconic TV and Movie Roles That Were Recast Successfully

By Charlie Jane Anders and Katharine Trendacosta. It’s an unfortunate fact of life: roles get recast all the time. Sooner or later, Robert Downey Jr. will quit playing Tony Stark.

’60s comic superheroes invade modern comic movies, and it’s awesome

What if all these modern superhero films actually starred comic book heroes as they appeared when they were first drawn?

The Avengers are Earth’s Morphinest Heroes in this Power Rangers mash-up

The Power Rangers opening credits done with Avengers clips and soundbites? Don’t mind if I do. It works out pretty well, unless you start trying to figure out who’s who — I mean, Iron Man is the Red Ranger, naturally, Captain America is Blue, Hulk is Green… and then it gets tricky. Let’s say Thor…

No, Joss Whedon is not going to Kickstart a Firefly movie… for now

You know you’ve already wondered, and rest assured Joss Whedon has already been asked.

Hawkeye Initiative cosplay lets the guys show off their rears for a change

Back in December, The Hawkeye Initiative took aim at the ridiculous butt brandishing, spin twisting, breast jutting cover poses that female comic book characters are subjected to.
