It's official. The Avengers Super Bowl trailer has been released by Marvel - and Joss Whedon's superhero flick is full of action, CGI and Mark Ruffalo in full-on green mode. "I have an army," scowls Tom Hiddleston's Loki. Tony Stark's reply is short: "We have a Hulk."

Here it is:

The Avengers is out on Friday 27th April - and continues to look surprisingly good. There's more stuff on the official Avengers Facebook page.  

"When two objects collide... there is always damage..."

So speaks Jared Harris in the Sherlock Holmes 2 "special content" trailer. What's special about it? Mostly the vox pops they've dumped in the middle of the other footage. But if the other footage includes Lane Pryce from Mad Men twirling his moustache, I'm more than happy to watch it.

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock sequel may not look like a classic (indeed, neither was the fun first one) but Moriarty could be brilliant. Did I mention it was Lane Pryce from Mad Men?

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is out on Friday 16th December.

The trailer for JOSS WHEDON'S The Avengers is here - and I hate the fact that it looks rather awesome.

They've even managed to avoid spoilers from all the other Marvel films, which is quite impressive. 

So I was at Hampton Court Palace today - as you do - enjoying the maze, the rubbish outdoor toilets, and the incredibly naff gardens with trees that look like a Mario Bros SNES game. Then I spotted two large green screens erected on the lawn out back, along with some equipment and a couple of marquees.

A quick mosey on up to the fencing revealed that it was none other than stuff for the Sherlock Holmes 2 shoot. So, naturally, I took some EXCLUSIVE on location photos. They're so EXCLUSIVE that I have to use big letters whenever I write the word EXCLUSIVE.

"ZOMG! WHERE'S ROBERT DOWNEY JR?"

And there followed several exciting EXCLUSIVE photos of people on location at Hampton Court Palace, where Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes 2 was/is being filmed. This is proper heavy journalistic shizzle here, people. Film paparazzi gold. You will NEVER see pictures of this quality at any reputable film publication.

Read on to suck up the pictorial goodness.

Cars are funny. Men are funny. Two men in a car together? That's hilarious. Especially if they have to drive across America because one of them says "bomb" on an airplane. They swap bags too. And get accused of drug smuggling. And cross the border into Mexico. Oh, and one of them's about to have a baby! The Funniest Film Since The Hangover, Due Date ticks every comedy box. Except the one labelled jokes.

Producing and directing powerhouse (and all round busybody) Sam Raimi has committed to direct Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Disney's new spin on The Wizard of Oz (separate from Wicked or Return to Oz, or all those other Oz adaptations) has been linked to Raimi for a while now. Set before Dorothy strolls down the yellow brick road, Great and Powerful hows the Wizard's time before his fun was ruined by that Kansas girl and the dog. With other directors previously lined up for the film including Sam Mendes and Timur Bekmambetov, Raimi has now confirmed that he's definitely on board.

That'll put back Raimi's World of Warcraft movie, which really isn't moving anywhere very quickly, but it might entice Robert Downey Jr. to sign up to star. He's been doing the hokey cokey with the part for some time, persuaded mostly by Raimi's involvement.

While they wait on the casting, Disney have got themselves a new writer to help touch up the script: David Lindsay-Abaire, a Pulitzer Prize winner, who not only did Robots and worked on his own novel adaptation Rabbit Hole (you'll hear about that when the Oscars come round), but also helped Raimi prepare his now-defunct Spider-Man 4.

It's all coming together nicely for the studio, who are on the front foot in the race to reboot The Wizard of Oz in any which way Hollywood can.

What do Edward Norton and Eric Bana have in common? Neither of them played The Incredible Hulk. Not really. They played Bruce Banner and left the effects guys to do the rest. But not Mark Ruffalo. He's confirmed that he'll be doing all of it. Through motion capture.

Yes, Mark will be putting on his mo-cap to play the scientist's angry green alter ego for Marvel's upcoming Avengers movie. He told NY Mag why he was so excited about his role in Joss Whedon's geek-tastic comic book crossover:

"No one's ever played the Hulk exactly, they've always done CGI. They're going to do the Avatar stop-action, stop-motion capture. So I'll actually play the Hulk. That'll be fun."

He also commented about his inspiration for the role stemming from the old TV series: "I really love the first TV version of it, the Bill Bixby one. I'm gonna shoot for that a little bit. He was an everyman in it. He's always on the run and trying to find love. It's really a sympathetic character, before he turns into the Hulk and fucks everything up."

Ruffalo then confirmed that his Hulk would definitely be in 3D: "I hope I don't bulge in anyone's face, that's all I have to say."

After the box office success of The Hangover, everyone wondered what Todd Phillips would do next - so when the first Due Date trailer arrived a while back, it wasn't a massive surprise that he chose to stick with hairy star Zach Galifianakis. It's a decision that looks even smarter with the new trailer and posters that appeared in our inbox this morning.

Downey Jr. plays Peter Highman, an expectant father trying to make it back home before his wife pops out the baby. Enter wannabe actor Ethan Temblay, who ends up giving him a ride across America.

Bringing out the old bromance staples, Todd Phillips' road trip has two things that make it stand out: beardy and mumbly. Together in the same film (alongside Michelle Monaghan and Jamie Foxx), they make what could be a promising partnership. Not so sure on the dog.

Due Date drives into cinemas on Friday 5th November. You can check out the new trailer (plus the first one) over in the videos section, or read on for the full video plus the new character posters - the best being a medley of posters that combine together, Power Rangers-style, to create a Megazord banner.

Following her recent trip to Hollywood, Noomi Rapace has signed on to star in Sherlock Holmes 2.

Since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo first hit cinemas, Rapace's intense performance as Lisbeth Salander has won her fans all over the industry. Now, the 30 year old actress will be taking on her first English-speaking role.

Work on Guy Ritchie's sequel has been speeding up over the months, with no official word yet on who will be playing Holmes' nemesis Moriarty. Speculation about the appearance of Mycroft, Sherlock's brother, is also doing the rounds. Until now, the only confirmed news has been that Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law will both return as Holmes and Dr Watson.

As for Rapace, she may well follow Rachel McAdams' steps and play a love interest for one of the two gents. She may even be a villain. Some sources are suggesting she'll be playing a French gypsy for some reason. Either way, she's bound to be impressive.

Shooting starts on Sherlock by the end of the year, with Ritchie's second outing now suffering from even higher expectations: they'll somehow have to top the BBC's recent take on the deerstalking detective. 

Just because, you know, you might enjoy it.
