"No one has asked me to shave my chest yet, thank God,” Ruffalo told The Advocate. “They want this Hulk to be as close to me as possible.”

Back in February, Ruffalo revealed to MTV News that the balance between his screen time as Bruce Banner and his CGI-enhanced alter ego will be "about equal." Read More...

Posted 4/13/11 12:31 pm EST by in DC Comics, News

Wonder WomanCelebrities are always scrutinized for what they wear, and it seems that it’s even worse if you’re Wonder Woman. We’ve seen Adrianne-Palicki as Wonder-Woman in a shiny publicity shot and red-booted set photos, but there might be yet another outfit waiting to be unveiled.

According to TVLine, there’s a third outfit that has yet to be seen by the public and it should please fans.

“There was an initial outcry about the long pants – you know, skintight pants as opposed to those little shorts [worn by Lynda Carter in the original TV series],” said NBC president Robert Greenblatt. “But the shorts were always planned. They are actually used in the final confrontation when she beats Veronica Cale [played by Elizabeth Hurley].” Read More...

Speaking with the Italian publication Comicus, McAvoy revealed some details about the plot of the upcoming film.

"It’s about the burgeoning tension between these two characters, Erik Lehnsherr, played by Michael Fassbender, and my character, Charles Xavier,” he said. “And on a greater level, it’s about where this new species of mutants is going to go. It can go two ways: they can regard themselves as the next step of human evolution or they can regard themselves as an entirely new species in conflict with humanity.” Read More...

New 'Wolverine' Anime Clip Is The Best It Is At What It Does, And What It Does Is Speak Japanese

Posted 4/8/11 2:36 pm EST by in Marvel, News

If you ever wondered what Wolverine would sound like speaking Japanese, here’s your chance to find out. G4 has released a three and a half minute clip of the “Wolverine” anime and it’s still in its original language.

Spinoff Online posted the clip, which G4 has released to give fans a taste of what they’ll get once it hits the station. You might not be able to understand all that Wolverine’s saying (he does say something pretty classic in English at the end, though), but this gives a feel of the style and animation. There’s plenty of fighting action on top of a skyscraper and Wolverine shows off his powers by attacking invisible people with his claws. The action continues while falling from that skyscraper and Wolverine makes it all look too easy.

Posted 4/8/11 11:28 am EST by in Marvel, News

With the release of “Thor” fast approaching next month, another clip from the movie has been released. And this time, the Asgardian warrior isn't the only superhero making an appearance.

The clip from IGN, which is a little less than a minute long, shows Thor doing some down and dirty fighting (and it’s not just down and dirty because part of it is in the mud). But the video isn’t just about Chris Hemsworth strutting his stuff, fantastic though his action sequence may be. If you watch closely, you’ll also get to see a quick cameo of the arrow-shooting Hawkeye -- and no, I’m not talking Alan Alda!
