Mary Jane Watson may have played a central role in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy, but she won't show-up in the rebooted version until 2016.
Yes, there were set photos of "The Descendants" star Shailene Woodley floating around from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," but those scenes have either been axed or will be saved for the third movie, "Superman: The Movie"/"Back to the Future"/"Kill Bill"/"The Lord of the Rings" style.
According to a new interview in Entertainment Weekly (which we became hip to thanks to Superhero Hype), Woodley understandably isn't super stoked about the news, but she gets the reasoning behind it. Get More »

If you had to pick one Hollywood star to defend our universe against the tyranny of evil, you could do a whole heck of a lot worse than Glenn Close.

Paul Giamatti spent part of the Memorial Day holiday weekend stalking New York's streets as The Rhino, the comic villain who makes his screen debut in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
Previously, we'd seen a bit of what Jaimie Foxx will look like as Electro as well as set pics of Giamatti in character as Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich. But these photos, from a scene director Marc Webb called "Park Ave Showdown" on Twitter, are a step closer to what the finished costume will be all about onscreen. The Yale University grad and Oscar nominated actor from "Sideways" and "American Splendor" will get his thug on as the notoriously dim-witted villain created by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr. Get More »
This Little Girl Knows More About Marvel Superheroes Than You Do
We are all a product of our parents, to a degree. Just look at Lindsay Lohan. No matter where your life takes you, there's always going to be a little bit of your mom and dad in everything you do. Like, say, if your dad is a superhero nerd and chooses to impart all of his knowledge onto your sponge-like brain at four years-old.
Above is the by-product of when this happens, in the form of a five-minute video of an adorable little girl rattling off Marvel trivia like it's not even a thing. At the beginning, you can't help but say "awww!," but as you keep watching, those "awwws" quickly turn to "awe" as she apparently knows the family lineage/history of everyone that's ever been in a Marvel movie or comic book.

She-Hulk on the Loose After Beating Up a British Teen
Marvel
What is it with British people and their superhero shenanigans?
Quick. Someone get that Batman dude on the tele 'cause there's a violent She-Hulk on the loose! Yep, apparently we wouldn't like this costumed criminalette when she's angry... or any other time for that matter.
The York Press reports that a woman dressed up as the Incredible Hulk — meaning, she was covered in green skin paint and wearing shredded shirt — is the prime suspect in a recent York, England battery incident against a seventeen-year-old at a local McDonald's restaurant. Get More »
