Marvel Studios released a full set of five Avengers character posters last month, featuring a lineup of the movie's good guys, including the six Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D's Nick Fury and Maria Hill.

But they missed someone important, as fans of Clark Gregg's character, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson, were quick to point out.

Not to worry, though: Marvel has now given Coulson his own promo poster, where he steals the spotlight from no less than Director Fury himself, and he's looking pretty sharp for a guy in the middle of an alien attack.

Now all we need is another great Coulson one-shot for the Blu-ray special features.

Possible Wolverine Poster of the Day

Possible Wolverine Poster of the Day

A leaked poster purportedly seen in the office of The Wolverine director James Mangold seems to confirm that the sequel to 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine will be set in Japan.

The image originally hit the web via Instagram -- it's since been removed -- and hasn't been confirmed by either the director or the studio, so there's a possibility it's entirely fan-made. (And hey, it wouldn't be the first fake movie poster this week).

If it's authentic, it would lend credence to rumors that the movie will adapt a 1982 comic book arc by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller that had Logan visiting the Land of the Rising Sun, falling in love with a Yakuza crime family heiress, and battling ninjas.

The Wolverine, written by Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard) and starring Hugh Jackman, is currently scheduled for release on July 26, 2013.

HBO has released a second official poster for season 2 of Game of Thrones, adding a hand grasping the crown of Westeros to season 2's "War is Coming" tagline.

The big question, of course, is who will wear that crown and sit the Iron Throne. Season 2 is based on A Clash of Kings, which focuses on a number of would-be rulers.

Game of Thrones returns to TV on April 1st, but in the meantime, German developer Bigpoint Software has announced that it will release a massively multiplayer RPG based on the HBO series.

The company plans to preview the new game at next week's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
