Hollywood may occasionally be good with fiction, but as soon as science enters the equation, it's a different story. That's why cinema big-wigs call in an expert like Jim Kakalios, who can actually do equations.

Marvel Studios has tapped Chuck star Zachary Levi to take over the role of Fandral in Thor 2. Josh Dallas originally played the Asgard warrior, but network obligations with ABC's original series Once Upon A Time rendered him unavailable to continue the role. Production is scheduled to begin on the sequel in July, featuring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Idris Elba and Anthony Hopkins.
Unsurprisingly, The Avengers was all the rage in U.S. box office totals, bringing in $200.3 million and kicking Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Pt.2 out of the way of having the biggest domestic debut of all time. Adding the international gross into the equation and Avengers has made a tidy sum at $623 million, OFFICIALLY making Joss Whedon Hollywood's new overlord.
It's common knowledge that Stan Lee has cameos in most of the Marvel movies (what's up with him not being in Punisher: War Zone?), but now Lee's cameo has crossed over into the animated universe. Lee pops up in the May 6th episode of Ultimate Spider-Man where Spidey has to fight the Hulk.
Artist N.C. Winters did this awesome Iron Man print, entitled Iron Legacy, just in time for the release of The Avengers. This print can be purchased from Gallery 1988 for a pretty penny.

Here's a new poster for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man reboot. It's a closer look at the costume and the eyes, which always seem to be a point of contention for fans who are divided by the original Steve Ditko design and the Todd McFarlane version.
UPDATE: Looks like this is a fan-made image (the silly tagline probably should have been a tipoff.) Two official posters for The Amazing Spider-Man have now been released.
