A lot of websites are reporting the rumor from their various sources that claim H’Wood is looking at Anne Hathaway to play Black Cat in the upcoming Spider-Man 4 movie.
Nikki Finke has a lot of insiders at the studios and reports
While Sony Pictures insists no decisions have been made, sources tell me that the producers have approached Anne Hathaway to star in the film.
As we have no inside sources in H’Wood, which is probably a good idea on so many levels, we’re just going by the stories everyone else is running. I’m not sold on Hathaway in anything other than a Disney movie from 9 years ago. What do you, The Major Spoiler Legion think? Does Hathaway do it for you, or should the studio keep looking?
There’s another episode of the stop motion animated series What The–?! making the rounds, and we’ve got it here.
In this timeless tale of forbidden love and sparkly vampires. Can a young girl truly find happiness in the arms of an immortal creature of the night or will this pale yet alluring couple experience a total eclipse of the heart? And what’s Man-Wolf doing on the prowl?
Or – “Not To Be Confused With “H.A.L.B.E.R.D.”
H.A.L.B.E.R.D., of course, is the Heuristic Algorithmic Lifeforms Built for Exploration and Rational Defenestration, a robot support group to try and stop them from throwing fleshy humans out of windows. I believe there’s an old expression about knowing being half the battle…

Hulk
Hulk’s a monster first, lovable second, childlike never. He’s the strongest Squadder, and the simplest, with major anger issues. When something sets him off, he becomes a tower of rage, ready to smash anything and everything in sight. Handy in a battle, but less helpful when it’s his turn to do the dishes. In such cases, it can take every member of the Squad to calm him. He can also be a bull in a china shop, walking through doors without opening them (or even walls). His rages on the Helicarrier frequently end with a hole in the ship’s foot-thick hull, and an angry green figure plummeting to the ground before bounding back.
Hulk and the other Squaddies: When not tearing locomotives in two, Hulk can be the most good-natured member of the Squad, pausing to pick a flower or pet a kitten (without being childish). Hulk’s version of “grabbing a snack” means tearing off the refrigerator door, holding the fridge aloft and emptying it into his mouth. Because of his simplicity and gullibility, Hulk is the butt of Wolverine’s wisecracks and the target of Falcon’s pranks. Iron Man feels protective of him and tries to help Hulk control his awesome temper. But Tony needs to stop building weapons and vehicles for Hulk; the ones he can operate at all, he breaks. Still, Tony keeps at it, creating enough Hulk add-ons to fill a… an endcap, actually. Hulk is inspired by Tony Stark and thinks he can be an inventor too. He puts a bunch of junk together (like a toaster and a boot) and celebrates his invention (the toaster boot). His teammates are speechless. But you never know; the toaster boot might actually come in handy.
Hulk’s gift of gab is limited, but succinct. He calls Falcon “Bird,” Wolverine “Claw,” the Surfer “Shiny,” etc. He thinks like a monster, so he doesn’t always put two and two together: He believes the Falcon is a bird, and will occasionally stuff birdseed down Falcon’s throat. He thinks Redwing is Falcon’s offspring: “Bird has baby bird! Cuute!” So as much as Falcon’s pranks bother Hulk, he does have his own innocent form of payback. And while Hulk likes to “smash,” he has a strong sense of justice. Hulk needs to learn to curb his anger and value his sensitive side. Or go play with a tire.
Naturally, Hulk supplies the team’s supreme STRENGTH FACTOR.
Marvel Comics has released the cover images and solicitation information for titles arriving in February 2010.
Variety posted, then took down an article, which prompted Marvel to officially announce that Stuart Towsend, Ray Stevenson, and Tadanobu Asano have been cast the play The Warriors Three, in the upcoming Kenneth Branagh Thor movie. Good news for those who have been wanting to know who would play the Asgardians who fight alongside the Norse god. Rumors were tossed around the last couple of weeks that everyone from Robert De Niro to Jude Law would be playing the warrior team.
Marvel announced its Deadpool Team-Up #899 sold out at the distributor level and is headed back to press for a second printing.

Joe Quinones has a bunch of variant covers coming up for the Amazing Spider-Man series from Marvel. All are awesome, but I particularly like his take on Sandman.
