Emma StoneConsidering that she's playing Peter Parker's ill-fated first girlfriend Gwen Stacy, many fans have already prepared themselves for the possibility that Emma Stone won't survive the "Spider-Man" reboot.

But if you're already in the midst of scribbling out Gwen's obituary, perhaps your suspicions are a bit premature. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (via Reelz Channel), the blonde actress indicated that she's going to appear in multiple "Spider-Man" movies.

Superman Is... Javier Bardem?!

Posted 12/27/10 2:43 pm EST by in DC Comics, News

Javier BardemLadies and gentlemen, Javier Bardem is Superman!

Well, perhaps we should clarify that last sentence a bit, because if you're thinking that Bardem is about to saddle up as the Man of Steel in director Zack Snyder's forthcoming "Superman" reboot, you're in for a disappointment. Instead, Bardem has already scratched his superhero itch, portraying the classic DC Comics character in a 1989 episode of Spanish comedy series "El Dia Por Delante."

Check out the hilarious — not to mention embarrasing — footage of Bardem as Superman past the jump! Read More...

Posted 12/27/10 10:31 am EST by in Marvel, News

Andrew GarfieldAndrew Garfield is our new Peter Parker, but it's going to take some time before we get to see the British actor in full-on Spider-Man regalia — but with filming already underway, Garfield himself is already well accustomed to wearing Spidey's red and blue tights.

In an interview with The Guardian (via Comic Book Movie), Garfield revealed that he's already put on the Spider-Man suit multiple times, though he was careful not to divulge too much information about the new costume.

"I have," he exclaimed when asked if he's worn the Spider-Man suit yet. "I feel like a kid in my [pajamas]. I can only say how it feels and it feels pretty special. It feels like a dream [realized] and a fantasy [realized] and I don't take it lightly and feel very, very lucky that I get to wear spandex for the next few months!" Read More...
