When MTV News sat down with Stewart during the press junket for "Twilight: Eclipse," we checked in with the actress to find out if there was any truth to the rumor that she'll be following in Angelina Jolie's footsteps alongside returning "Wanted" star James McAvoy.

"It's weird to answer questions like this," said Stewart, who simply stated that "the only two projects that I am confirmed in now are 'On The Road' and '[Twilight:] Breaking Dawn.'" Read More...

I still haven't seen a link though! Check out his thoughts, Bryan Hitch's expectations for the movie, and which writer wouldn't mind seeing Nightwing with his pants off.

Posted 6/17/10 1:44 pm EST by in DC Comics, Video


If there's anything readers of "Jonah Hex" comics have learned, it's that you should never ask the scarred bounty hunter about his face.

Never. Not-freakin'-ever. Don't even look at it. Seriously. Because if you do make the mistake of asking about his scar, what happens to the fool in the following clip might happen to you:

Posted 6/17/10 9:46 am EST by in DC Comics, News, Vertigo, Video


When Megan Fox was cast in "Jonah Hex" last year, speculation immediately grew into various rumors as to who she would play and how large her role would be. And when the first photos of her in costume appeared online, the internet chatter only intensified.
