It really was only a matter of time. First Spider-Man had a live show, then DC had Batman. Now Disney and Marvel are joining with Feld Entertainment to bring Marvel Universe Live to stages in 85 cities, followed by dates overseas.
First there was the photo of Henry Cavill as Superman in an action shot that displayed his strength, then we saw Superman in handcuffs — not exactly an image we’re used to — now we finally see him striking the iconic Superman pose. And standing beside him is Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
The cast for Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past is already massive with new and old faces, and it seems like additions won’t end. The latest news is a rumor, but it comes from James McAvoy, the actor who portrays the young version of Charles Xavier.
Back in November NBC was courting Hugh Laurie to star in Crossbones as the pirate Blackbeard. It would’ve been a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be.
The trailer to Joss Whedon’s version of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is out. The obvious fun part — other than Whedon directing — is his cast.

I also wanted an excuse to name-drop.
Yesterday the marketing machine at Marvel Studios released yet another Iron Man 3 poster. Again we see Tony Stark in a heavily damaged suit of armor, and various armors behind him taking flight.

Iron Man 3 takes over theaters May 3. You know where I’ll be at midnight.
Okay, okay, it isn’t to summon Crowley.
The Harlem Shake isn’t complete without the Supernatural cast and crew taking part in their own video. It was apparently Jensen Ackles’ idea.
For the fourth time Robert Downey Jr. is reprising his rightful role as Tony Stark. With Iron Man 3 merely months away, Marvel sat down with Downey to discuss his portrayal of the character, and how director Shane Black is no stranger to Iron Man.
Give it a read if you have the time. If you don’t, make the time right now. You know you want to.
