 published: 2013-05-01How The Avengers Made Iron Man 3 Better Being the next film out of the gate, Shane Black’s Iron Man 3 had the most to gain or lose from comparisons to Whedon’s movie, with the 2012 blockbuster still fresh in everybody’s mind, and the buzz still pulsating around the internet. filed under: The Avengers
 published: 2013-04-30Infographic: Will Iron Man 3's Great Reviews Guarantee Big Box Office? By looking at the bottom of this list-- say, everything below 40%-- you can feel vindicated. The worst of the worst gets rejected by critics, and audiences follow suit. The top of the list, until you get to Hellboy II at least, tells the other side of that story-- when movies like The Dark Knight and the Avengers and Iron Man debut to enormous acclaim, they're way more likely to become even bigger hits filed under: The Avengers

 published: 2013-04-17The Avengers And Star Wars Unite In Patton Oswalt's Incredible Parks & Recreation Monologue As you'll notice this happens entirely in a single take, and Oswalt name checks an astonishing amount of names and statistics from the Star Wars universe-- while also taking the time to knock Hawkeye and Black Widow for not being top-tier Avengers characters. I'll leave it to the Star Wars diehards to pick through all the insane ideas Oswalt suggests for what might happen in Star Wars: Episode VII filed under: The Avengers
 published: 2013-04-04Behind The Avengers Shawarma Scene, A Last-Second Shoot That Made Hollywood History We were on the scene back when Robert Downey Jr. broke the “news” at an Avengers press conference that the ensemble was planning on shooting one last scene for inclusion in the movie. It ended up being the shawarma restaurant scene – a joke shoehorned into the Avengers credit sequence. filed under: The Avengers

We then wondered why she had wound up in the film in such a small part, only to hear that she'd had a bigger role before getting edited down in the final cut. Now, thanks to the wonders of deleted scenes and the new Marvel Phase One box set, we can see how her character's arc would have gone had it made the final cut filed under: The Avengers
 published: 2013-04-02Watch The Marvel Phase Two Preview Included On The New Box Set It contains what's become familiar chatter from Marvel President Kevin Feige, talking about how he and the directors of all the Phase One films have been coordinating to set up a giant universe, and how Iron Man 3 marks the start of Phase Two.

 published: 2013-03-05Joss Whedon Calls Those Planet Hulk Rumors 'Nonsense' The rumor, in case you missed it the first time around, laid out a grand Marvel plan where Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) would be banished from our planet at the end of the second Avengers movie, leading into the popular Planet Hulk storyline. filed under: The Avengers
