It turns out that Superman also stands for reading in addition to truth and justice. "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill can be seen posing with a copy of 2012's "Superman Annual" #1 on a poster for the American Library Association. A copy of the poster can be purchased on the organization's website, making it a perfect purchase for librarians and English teachers that are more than a little tired of "Hang In There Kitty" motivational posters.
Check out the poster below.

Marvel Comics announced some big news today via the New York Times, and it could potentially have ramifications when the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes to the stars in 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy." It was revealed that author Neil Gaiman will tip-toeing back into the Marvel Universe, and he'll be bringing a character he created for Image Comics with him. Gaiman's first Marvel Comic since 2007's "Eternals" #7 will be the final chapter of "Age of Ultron," the event mini-series currently tearing through the Marvel Universe. In the "Age of Ultron" finale, Gaiman will introduce Angela, previously a supporting character in Image Comics' "Spawn," to the Marvel Universe. She'll then make an appearance in "Guardians of the Galaxy" #5, an issue co-written by Neil Gaiman and the series' regular writer, Brian Michael Bendis.
Does this mean that Angela, an angelic bounter hunter for Heaven (yep, Heaven) will join the Guardians of the Galaxy? And if so, could she have already been worked into the 2014 film?

A newly released Russian poster for "Iron Man 3" has done a reverse-"Thumbs & Ammo" with their depiction of Ben Kingsley's Mandarin. The poster swaps out Mandarin's relaxed right hand for one holding a hand gun ("Thumbs & Ammo" switches out gun-holding hands in iconic films for thumbs-up-giving hands).
You can check out the full poster below, and be sure to compare it to its American counterpart. It's worth noting that the Mandarin's American poster actually crops out Kingsley's right hand entirely, but a wider shot featured as a promotional image shows his empty right hand in full.

Deathstroke fans rejoice! Yesterday, the Hollywood Reporter announced that Manu Bennett (who plays Slade Wilson on the CW's "Arrow") has signed on as a series regular for the show's second season. This, of course, comes just about a week after actor Colton Haynes (who plays Roy Harper) was also bumped up to series regular, as well as the incomparable Emily Bett Rickards (who plays IT girl Felicity Smoak).

Make a tiny bit of room on your shelves for these new "Iron Man 3" Minimates. Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum have announced two more additions to their series of 2" mini figures based on the upcoming Marvel Comics film. For those of you not yet fully obsessed with the toy line, Minimates offer faithful-yet-stylized renditions of everything from classic film characters to the most obscure Marvel characters, all complete with interchangeable parts. And did we mention how tiny they are? You can amass a serious collection before they even make a dent in your already-too-crowded living space! As expected, the "Iron Man 3" line is shaping up quite nicely, starting with these two figures.

Clevver Movies tracked down newly cast X-Man Booboo Stewart and attempted to find out who the actor is playing in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." Stewart was tight-lipped, of course, but did express his excitement and enthusiasm for the project, saying "It's a dream come true, really. It's pretty incredible. I can't even explain the feeling that I have for this right now." Stewart called director Bryan Singer a "cool guy" and mentioned that they got to hang out for a few days.
The most revealing fact that Stewart revealed is that he's gained 50 pounds since January, and he is sporting much longer hair than normal. While we previously had Stewart pegged for Sunfire, the bulking up and long hair combo seems pretty Thunderbird-ish to us. Thunderbird was on our short list for inclusion in the latest X-Film, so this would be a pretty exciting development.
Check out the full interview below.
