If you make it a habit to read USA Weekend, you may have seen the interview with Chuck star Zachary Levi, who said he had been cast as Fandral in the upcoming Thor movie to be directed by Kenneth Branagh. Unfortunately, NBC extended the third season, which means Zach had to drop out of the flick.
Levi was cast as Fandral, one of Thor’s Warriors Three in the comic book adaptation, and the actor had even been working out especially for the role, but had to walk away when they got the extra pickup. (Levi admits that producers had asked him to audition for the role of the usually beefy God of Thunder, but told them no. “I’m tall and in pretty good shape, but I’m not big and girthy like that,” he says.)
Or – “The Lady Or The Tiger? Sometimes You Get Both…”
The Iron Fist may have been the first of the Immortal Weapons to show his face, but he’s certainly not the last. What’s even more amazing is that each of their stories has been as interesting as Danny Rand’s. Fat Cobra’s tragedy, the Bride of Nine Spiders’ horror, even Dog Brother #1’s folk tale have all been interesting in their own right. Now the spotlight turns to the beautiful, yet deadly, Tiger’s Beautiful Daughter… Will the loveliest of the Immortal Weapons keep the streak going?
I like what Marvel does with these teasers, but I don’t think a monkey with a gun is going to be considered one of the most exciting new comic charters of the century.
Now watch me get proven wrong on Monday…
Guess who hooks up in the next episode of Super Hero Squad Show? The image above should give you a hint. If you need more clues on this week’s episode, take the jump.
That’s the question Marvel is asking this morning, with the implication that Captain America and Thor will be teaming to save Tony Stark in the upcoming Iron Man #21, arriving December 09, 2009.
Marvel shared information that Psylocke #1 sold out, and is going back to press with a variant cover. The issue will arrive on December 23, 2009.
Sometimes going with the simple lines and design works much better than filling a face with every single wrinkle in the world. Case in point, Stanly Dan (if that is his real name) draws a mighty cute Magneto that makes you want pick him up and give him a snuggle, instead of running in fear from the mutant.
Lionsgate released a new Kick-Ass poster for the world to take in and examine. The bloodied face of Aaron Johnson should give audiences a hint that this is going to be a blood and splatter fest when it comes to kicking…er..um… ass.
There was a lot of talk surrounding Fall of the Hulks Alpha when we featured on the site, so I’m guessing this sneak peek from Marvel of Fall of the Hulks Gamma will get a few of you to comment.
Apparently, it allows you to crash a floating city into an unsuspecting town in Oklahoma.
It’s a day for video on the Good Ol’ Major Spoilers, and we’re adding another to the list with the trailer for Kick-Ass. The music and fast editing pushes the movie higher on my must see list, but I wonder how all the graphic violence is going to play out?

Silver Surfer
As the Squad’s resident alien, the Surfer is a fish-out-of-water, constantly puzzled and amazed at the strange customs and culture of Earthlings. The Surfer, for all his innocence, is in hiding. Even as he learns more about this pleasant oasis called Earth, taking in its mountains, rivers and beaches (where he’ll be a sensation among the surfer dudes) he’s worried that his presence may draw his former master, that world-devouring barrel of laughs called GALACTUS, into the fray, and possibly get the Earth eaten.

The Surfer and the other Squaddies
The other teammates respect him, but don’t even pretend to understand him. While Iron Man tries to fathom the mysteries of the Surfer’s powerful surfboard, Falcon has taken it upon himself to educate the alien in the ways of Earthlings. The Surfer stays on Earth because he finds a sense of belonging and higher moral purpose with the team. His moral standards and calm demeanor make him the team’s conscience. We will see him adjusting to life on Earth and confronting his fear and shame over the awesome evil he escaped from, the aforementioned Galactus.
The Surfer adds his cosmic ENERGY FACTOR to the team.
The Eric Shanower/Skottie Young Oz series is really well done, and the latest installment, The Marvelous Land of Oz #1, has sold out at the distributor level and is going back to press for another run. If your store sold out, be on the look out for the second edition arriving December 09, 2009.
