In spoiler hunting, two things rarely lie: domain registration and upcoming toys. The domains come first and can reveal anything from the existence of a project to a rumored title. Toys, on the other hand, are less visible, more easily kept under wraps. They’re made by private companies that put them into development way in advance of a film’s release because they need to be mass produced. Unfortunately, toy security isn’t like movie security. Release a catalog here, attend a major toy convention there, and new products are revealed long before studios are ready to show their hand.
Recently, this happened with the reveal of The Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man and it’s happened again with the villains of The Avengers. After the jump, check out a bunch of images that – if true – would be considered major spoilers for the film. Read More »

In October, Marvel Studios dropped the first trailer for Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers, which stars Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson. Since then we’ve seen quite a few stills and a bit of extra footage, all of which promises a union of characters from the Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man films, and a lot of destruction in New York City as the city is attacked by the army of Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
The extended Super Bowl spot really doesn’t reveal too much — there is some new footage of each of the heroes, especially of the Hulk, but for those who want to know just what sort of army Loki has assembled, the shot that hits about thirty seconds into the spot will be the key image. Read More »
