I try to avoid too many superhero food items in this column these days, unless it’s something super spectacular like this Loki cupcake by Nerdache Cakes via Thats Nerdalicious.

Alex Kurtzman, co-writer and producer of the Star Trek movies and currently doing the same thing with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, said the following to Movies.com about the stars and that film:

Andrew nailed it 1,000 percent. And so did Emma. Their relationship on screen is so electric. The first time I saw the movie, as a real testament to this movie, you want to watch it just as much – if not more – when Spider-Man isn’t on screen because the two of them are so magnetic. We’re in the middle of writing the next one. We’re having an absolute ball. But it’s all because of the amazing work everybody did in the first movie.

In the new issue of the comic Avengers Assemble, the Guardians of the Galaxy appear at the end to help The Avengers fight Thanos. “A tease?” asks What Culture.

Jessica Chastain spoke to Total Film (via CBM) about not being able to do Iron Man 3 and her desire to appear in a Marvel movie:

It’s always a good problem to have because it means you have options. It’s not really a problem, but it was just impossible, schedule-wise. So I was sad. I met Shane Black earlier and I think he’s going to make an amazing film. And of course I went to see Avengers Assemble earlier and I loved it. I hope to be in a Marvel film.
