Benicio Del Toro has joined the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy ! But in what role? We’re not sure, but we have a hunch. Reportedly, the actor will star as a major character, one that will likely appear in other Marvel films. All roads point to Benicio Del Toro playing Thanos ! Del Toro will join Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, and Michael Rooker in the superhero film. James Gunn will direct, with production set to begin this Summer. With Del Toro signed on for multiple picture options, and Thanos being promised for Guardians as well as The Avengers 2 , it seems like a likely match. Do you think Del Toro would make a good Thanos? Let us know in the comments section!
Mia Grace is a prodigy when it comes to comic book trivia. Rather than grilling her on spelling or math, her parents bombard her with specific questions about The Avengers, Fantastic Four, The X-Men and more. Not just run-of-the-mill, introductory-level ones, either: Girl Knows Her Superhero Trivia! We think we’re just going to call her Marvel Girl from now on. Because she is one … and knows a lot about their comics. See what we did there! Play on words, people. THG out.

Vivid is releasing a movie that may make Virgin Losers everywhere explode, it is Wonder Woman XXX, like the comic book you used to masturbate to, only the porn version, so that instead of imagining the superhero on your dick while reading the comic or watching the re-runs like you have, you can see it in action. The interesting thing in all this is that the costumer looks pretty top notch, unlike porn of the past, that would involve some stripper dress and duct tape that was ripped off the second they got into the motel room/back of the van….it’s almost like porn’s gone hollywood. I am into that merge.
President Barack Obama squared off with an unexpected adversary this week. A White House photo released for Time magazine – which named Obama Person of the Year 2012 this week – shows the president goofing around with the son of a staff member. This little Spider-Man gave him all he could handle on October 26: Fortunately for Obama, he was able to escape the superhero’s wrath, and went on to defeat Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election just two weeks later. The little kid should take solace, though. He may have a shot to supplant Andrew Garfield when the reboot the Spider-Man franchise again in like two years.

By the power of Grayskull, get ready for this: The Masters of the Universe reboot is back on the docket, with news that Jon M. Chu ( Step Up 2 The Streets , Justin Bieber: Never Say Never , G.I. Joe: Retaliation ) is in talks to helm the He-Man flick. Per Deadline, “the film revolves around He-Man, a prince who transforms into a warrior and becomes the last hope for a magical world that has been ravaged by the sinister Skeletor.” Well, duh . Chu, who revitalized and set the pace for the Step Up franchise post-Channing Tatum then handily served up Bieber Fever with a well-conceived flick of that mop-top in 3-D, is currently converting G.I. Joe to 3-D for Paramount and directing Bieber’s live concert tour. On top of that, the success of his superhero webseries The LXD gave way to an entire YouTube channel ( DS2DIO ) dedicated to dance. He’s a busy guy with his hands in a number of youth-oriented projects and in his last three features has demonstrated a visionary knack utilizing dimensionalized space, although post-converting Joe wasn’t his first choice . Will his Masters of the Universe also go 3-D? I wouldn’t be surprised, but Sony Pictures and Escape Artists had better give Chu the time and money he needs up front if they’re even thinking of putting MoTU out in a souped-up format. Although we’ve got months to go to see if fans embrace or revolt against Chu’s version of G.I. Joe , Masters of the Universe devotees should take this as a good thing: Chu is nothing if not mindful of paying fan service to beloved properties. Besides, someone’s already mucked up He-Man on the big screen, and how . And it won’t be like this (probably): The next question is: Who could play He-Man? (And then: If MoTU is a hit, could She-Ra follow ?) Discuss! [ Deadline ]
Today Warner Bros. released the first teaser for 2013’s superhero reboot Man of Steel , an elegiac glimpse of Clark Kent ( Henry Cavill ), as a man and a boy, accompanied by memories of childhood paternal advice telling him of his destiny as Earth’s savior. But Clark/Superman has two dads — biological Kryptonian pop Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and adoptive farmer pa Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), giving fans a neat double tease: One teaser, two voice-overs. From the looks of things in the Zack Snyder-directed, Christopher Nolan -produced Man of Steel , it appears that Clark Kent is taking some “me” time off from his superhero calling to moonlight as a deep sea fisherman, Deadliest Catch -style. That vocation should give him time to ponder the childhood advice gleaned from his two dads, one who tells him he’s destined to save humanity, another who tells him that destiny is his choice to make. “You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They’ll raise behind you. They will stumble. They will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.” [Via MSN ] “One day, you’re going to have to make a choice. You have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be. Whoever that man is, good character or bad, it’s going to change the world.” [Via Yahoo ] The teaser had already been reportedly attached to prints of TDKR in theaters. I do like the idea of Hobo Superman slinging crawfish by day and hanging with a scruffy boatyard dog by night as he ponders life and stuff. But you tell me. Man of Steel will be released June 14, 2013. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
