TALKBACK: Which Avengers Superhero Should Get The Next Standalone Spin-Off?

With this week’s release of The Avengers on DVD/Blu-ray and Marvel’s Kevin Feige entertaining all sorts of speculative queries as to the future of the superhero franchise, let’s put it to the people: Which Avenger do you want to see step into the spotlight in a standalone sequel after Thor and Captain America? Marvel Studios already have the next many years’ worth of superhero outings penciled in — Captain America 2 , Thor 2 , Guardians of the Galaxy , Ant-Man , and Avengers 2 — but Feige gave some fans hope for a Hulk adventure in a recent interview with MTV . “Do I think Hulk can carry a movie and be as entertaining as he was in Avengers ? I do believe that. I do believe he absolutely could. We certainly are not even going to attempt that until Avengers 2 ,” said Feige. “So there’s a lot of time to think about it.” Mark Ruffalo’s wry Hulk was an ensemble standout, especially after Ed Norton and Eric Bana’s dour, serious incarnations — perfect candidate for the next standalone, no? (Third time’s the charm?) Then again, could he compete with demand for a full feature dedicated to Scarlett Johansson’s sultry Black Widow? If hers includes a few lengthy drunken hookups with Hawkeye, you know who gets my vote. [ MTV ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

WATCH: Jim Carrey Looks Masked And Uncomfortable As Colonel Stars On Toronto Set Of Kick-Ass 2

Is it me or does Jim Carrey look like he’s dying a thousand deaths in the video below as he kills time on the set of Kick-Ass 2 in Toronto looking like the result of a night of passion between the Riddler’s mom and Sgt. Rock. That actually could be a good thing since stand-up comics, which Carrey was before he became an ac-tor ,  are great at converting humiliation and flop sweat into moments of brutal and dark comic brilliance — a tone that certainly worked for the first Kick-Ass movie. In the Matthew Vaughn-directed sequel, Carrey plays Colonel Stars, a former mob enforcer who, if the character remains true to the comic series, found religion and formed (with his brother, Lieutenant Stripes) Justice Forever, a superhero group that also included Night Bitch (Lindy Booth) and Insect Man (Robert Emms), who can both be seen with Carrey in the video. Aaron Johnson, who plays the green-suited title character is also on hand. In the John Romita Jr.-drawn, Mark Millar-written comic, Stars ends up in a showdown with Red Mist/The Motherfucker (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and his henchmen that does not turn out well. Photos of Carrey in his crime-fighting get-up  were posted on SlashFilm.com . The site also linked to the below YouTube video from SuperHeroHype.com  that depicts Carrey and his co-stars on the set.

REVIEW: Garden of Eden Isn’t Just Lesser Hemingway; It’s the Worst of Him

Though based on the Hemingway novel published 25 years after his death, Hemingway’s Garden of Eden feels more like the result of an ungodly alliance between Harlequin house writers and the cut-and-paste masterminds at A&E Biography . Hemingway worked on the novel from 1946 until his death, leaving its 200,000 words unpublished. The story is roughly autobiographical, derived in part from to his second marriage (to wealthy Pauline Pfeiffer), but allusions to Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, whom Hemingway reviled, seem to figure as well. As adapted by former Paris Review editor James Scott Linville and directed by John Irwin, The Garden of Eden suggests the bad first novel that Hemingway never wrote. There’s a reason This Side Of Paradise never made it to the screen.

Christina Aguilera’s Hotness Gets A Star

Here’s Christina Aguilera looking orange and lovely on her way to get a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame the other day. So basically they’ll give one of those things to pretty much anybody? Good to know. Anyhow, she’s kind of showing her age in these shots, we’ve seen her looking a lot better than this. She looks like the result of a drunken orgy between Marilyn Monroe, Celine Dion and a rodeo clown. I don’t like it at all…. Except for the boobies of course.
