Movie, TV, and Video Game Highlights
Some big news this week for all Marvel fans. New photos have been released for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and some new posters for Thor: The Dark World. I have A LOT to cover today. I'll be uploading new TV spots for Thor: The Dark World onto the Thor: The Dark World page above. But I've also got something other than Thor to show you. Many may have already seen it, but recently the Age of Ultron teaser leaked onto the web.
Although, if you've seen it you know that there isn't really anything in this that helps us figure out the plot in anyway. It shows Iron Man's helmet turning into Ultron, which could hint Tony Stark could be a part of the making of Ultron. And I'm really liking the Ultron design. Of course it won't look like one of the more advanced Ultron bodies since this is early on in his origin. There sin't really anything else out of this teaser that could hint anything else in the movie. Although when you can see the reflection of the Avengers in Ultron's eye I could see every Avenger except Hawkeye. I really hope the DOESN'T hint that we could see a Hawkeye death in the film. Not that I didn't like the first Avengers, it's just that for most of the whole movie Hawkeye was being mind-controlled by Loki. And it's not that I have anything against female super heroes but hasn't Black Widow gotten a lot of of the spotlight? She's been in Iron Man 2, played a big part in Avengers, and now she's in The Winter solider. I think Hawkeye's a big part in the Avengers and doesn't need to be put aside like that. But if Joss Whedon has a plan with Clint or plays a even bigger part in Age of Ultron, then I won't argue. But if not... then I'm gonna be one unhappy Hawkeye fan.
Other than that we got some other exciting news. We have got some new details on LEGO Marvel Superheroes. A new character that has been confirmed is Rocket Raccoon. And with that I can presume that the rest of the Guardians of The Galaxy will be in the game. Groot will probably look similair to Treebeard from LEGO Lord of the Rings if he is in it. So here are some recent images of some new vehicles.
Besides his glider, Green
Goblin also has his own helicopter. Which apparently is being called the Pumpkin Chopper. And behind him is, which I believe, is Oscorp tower. Also there will possibly be the Daily Bugle tower since J. Jonah Jameson has also been added to the game.
Magneto also get's his own vehicle in the
game: The Magneto Mobile. And next to him is Loki with his tesseract-powered spear.

| Spidey's Spidey Copter |
And, my personal favorite: Deadpool's Scooter. And there's our first look at Rocket Raccoon. I'm very excited to play as Deadpool. Who wouldn't be?
LEGO Marvel Superheroes launches on the 22nd of October. Even though it's only a couple weeks away, it can feel like forever for some people. (Mainly me) The game will be available for all consoles. And will possibly be 1-2 players, unlike the previous Lego game, LEGO City.
Other than that, I'd like to remind you all that there will be a Ultimate Spider-man Halloween Special tomorrow on Disney XD. No offence but personally I'm not that excited for it. I think the whole Spidey and SHIELD thing just doesn't work out. And then you add in Nova, White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Power Man. They could of just kept them out of the show and focus on Spidey. Just my opinion, I don't to make any of you Ultimate Spider-man fans upset.
Well, anyway, two new Thor: The Dark World posters were released recently. The posters feature two out of the Warriors Three: Fandral and Volstagg
This is also our first look at the new Fandral actor: Zachary Levi. Perhaps since Fandral and Volstagg (and perhaps Hogan later on) are getting their own posters, they might get some big roles in the film. And since the movie seems to stay stay more in other realms besides Midgard, Thor could possibly need more help from the Warriors Three.
Now, we'll just have to see if Hogan gets his own poster. It's most likely he will though. Other than that, Marvel has recently released a clip of Thor The Dark World.
One thing that I've noticed in this clip, is that Loki's cell is a mess and there is some scratches on the wall. It might look like this because in the second Thor TDW trailer Loki used his powers to push the chairs and table away from him as they hit the walls. Something that bugs me is that in this clip Loki's wearing a very light grey t-shirt. Oh, wait Asgardians don't wear t-shirts and it isn't even a t-shirt. Uh, well, we can call it his "casual wear." Anyway he's wearing his "casual wear" in this clip, but in the second trailer he's wearing something similar to what he wore in The Avengers. His hair also looks a lot more MESSY in this clip and the first trailer. So I'm wondering when he had time to change. Or when exactly what he was wearing first. Also, I know this probably not a possibility, but Loki, seriously, get a hair cut. The Thor-style doesn't look good on you. I'm not going to be able to take you seriously when I go watch the movie!
Well, anyways. I would just like to remind you all that there will be a new Agents of SHIELD tomorrow I will be starting reviews for each episode starting after this next one. Another quick announcement, New York Comic-con will be starting on the 10th of October! Just a few days away! Unfortunately I won't be making it this year, but I hope all of you that are going have an awesome time! I'll be following Marvel's NYCC blog and I'll be giving you all updates from NYCC 2013 after it ends. Well, that's it for now. I will be posting a new page for Agents Of SHIELD after the first review. Thanks for reading!
