Here’s the Marvel Select toy of Wolverine tied to The Wolverine.

Director Julie Taymor will finally go to court in May over the Spider-Man musical, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Designer Roberto Vergati Santos (via Gizmodo) did a clever series of superheroes sponsored by major brands.

The Playlist linked two video interviews where Terrence Howard discussed the Iron Man 2 recasting controversy. Here’s a quick quote but head there to see both videos and many more details:

[I was paid] about $4.5m [for the first film]. The second time, [the studio] said ‘We think the movie will be successful with or without you. So, instead of the $8m that we said we were gonna pay you, we’re going to let you come back for a million dollars.’ We did a three-picture deal already, [but] I forgot, I didn’t know it wasn’t a mutually binding contract; it was only beneficial for them and they could bring me back or not. They can honor it or not.

Artist Sean Hartter did a cool gallery of Iron Man being placed in Disney owned properties for Entertainment Weekly. That’s just one of eight above.

Peter Dinklage is thrown off guard when MTV Geek asked him about his specific role in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
