Continuing in the vein of the giant 'Assemble' poster we saw back in July Marvel have issued two new banner images to promote next year’s Avengers movie. You’ve probably seen them. If not, here they are.

As we reported a few days ago, Patty Jenkins has left the helm of the good ship Thor 2 due to some kind of "creative difference", but Marvel Studios aren't exactly stopping to mourn Instead, they're lining up possibilities for a replacement director and also seeking a new screenwriter. Here are the names they have lined[...]

We got in return "well she's not my friend now." Okay, people allergic to spoilers gone? Good. We got the idea that new character Tanarus would be the new God Of Thunder after the death of Thor in Fear Itself #7 But we didn't that Tanarus would always have been the God Of Thunder Which means all[...]

There are some interesting clues about Iron Man's armour, Hawkeye's costume and the Hulk's non-Euclidean chinos in a new set of Mighty Marvel action figures...

You would be forgiven for missing it but tucked away between all of those explosions there’s something quite special in the new Avengers trailer.

So far, on the basis of the few snippets of dialogue on show here Robert Downey Junior owns the film but there's a lot that can happen between now and next May. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zatgnqdIefs[/youtube] ..but why is Thor fighting Cap? ..and could those blue plasma blasts be from a Skrull ship? [...]

They have bought the Twitter keywords Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor and X-Men But rather than buy the worldwide rights, they've bought the American-only rights. So that I can't see them. Thankfully Bleeding Cool readers with an American IP address can… A few days ago, Bleeding Cool pointed out that DC had bought Marvel as a Twitter search[...]

So we learned that Tanarus is to replace Thor as God Of Thunder in Thor #8 by Matt Fraction and Pasqual Ferry. But who is Tanarus? Well, there is a Taranus, or Taranis, or Taranuos, Taranucnus, Taranucus or Taranoou. A Celtic god of Thunder, worshipped by natives of the British Isles and Gaul Indeed the Welsh verb[...]

You know how Thor wasn't looking too well in that Fear Itself #6 preview we posted yesterday? You know how he was suddenly missing in those Battle Scars previews, replaced with some new fellow? Well, now we have a name Tanarus Starring in Thor #8 as the new God Of Thunder, by Matt Fraction and Pasqual Ferry[...]

  Looks like a merchandising image rather than an actual movie poster, but a good look at characters and costumes for Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Hulk, and Black Widow — and still very cool. Licensing Expo 2011 just opened in Las Vegas and attendee @theonlyesq has given us our first look at a[...]

X-Men's midnight opening edged out Thor's by a few bucks We'll know soon what that means for the weekend. Most-Read DC Relaunch Stories Today The Secret Origins Of The DC Relaunch So, I was told recently that the original decision for DC to relaunch all their titles with 52 new issue ones was originally planned to[...]

An excellent Thor-in-four-panels by Ty Templeton Ty previously had pretty damn funny takes on the Granito saga, Charlie Sheen, and… well, you may as well go check out his website while you're at it. I think Templeton's work first came to my attention a long time ago due to a favorable nod from comics-reviewing ironman[...]

No sooner do we hear that a small tourist town in Michigan has arrested Batman, then comes word that Michigan state police have handled a Thor movie press kit as a possible bomb  Better safe than sorry in such situations, to be sure  But early this year there were rumors that both Batman and[...]

'Nuff said, I think?

Automobile brand Acura has been using the fictional Marvel espionage organisation SHIELD to promote its current range of cars, with the Thor movie Recruitment drives at comic conventions SHIELD cars circling Manhattan And mysterious looking press kits built into briefcases One of which was thrown out by car magazine Automobile into a recycling bin. And the prescence[...]

So there was some fuss about Idris Elba being cast as Heimdall in Thor, over the colour of his skin Now I didn't see the problem with this, per se, and seeing the film I thought Idris totally stole the show as a morally pure, considered, dutiful rock forced to challenge his own preconceptions. But it[...]

Coulson arrives in New Mexico and discovers the site of Thor's fallen hammer, Mjolnir SHIELD quickly quarantines the area and erects a portable laboratory over the site to study the hammer Agent Clint Barton is one of the agents assigned to the[...]

I was lucky enough to see the non-3D version of THOR at my local cinema With THOR being the fourth movie from Marvel Studios, after IRON MAN, HULK and IRON MAN 2, a certain consistence in quality of their movies is starting to emerge I couldn't help thinking they've all had more or[...]

Mayhem really started when Captain America & Thor came onto the table That was when there were the most amounts of people "Get me fucking Sonic the Hedgehog!" people shouted across the table I have never heard people want Sonic the Hedgehog that much. The shop's plan was when most of the comics currently on the[...]

Photo by Luigi Novi. Spoilers of sorts for the Thor movie, I guess We're talking cameos But isn't it more fun to know where to look for people rather than be told about it afterwards? Your choice of course. So, we all expected the Stan Lee cameo in the new Marvel Studios movie, Thor Co-creator of the[...]

For instance, last night I saw Thor and it was fantastic but I had to hold myself back from blurting out "The Rainbow Bridge doesn't look like that!" and "Thor talks in a medieval way! Why isn't he doing that now!?" My opinion is that even though comic-films can be fantastic, the film can[...]

As rival film makers and comic book publishers have discovered over the years, it's very hard to copyright Thor as a comics character And while Marvel have got a big blockbuster of a movie coming out featuring the Norse God Of Thunder, so there have been a number of look-alikeys around. But have any been as[...]

I am not looking at the post-credit scene from Thor that has made its way onto the internet No, I intend to watch it, with wife, on the big screen later this week If you have already seen the film and want a reminder, or maybe you walked out before it ran, or maybe you[...]
