8 ways The Avengers can appear in Iron Man 3 (without appearing)

"Nothing's been the same since New York" says Tony Stark in the first trailer for Iron Man 3, before having a very bad day. With the arrival of a new trailer this week it doesn't look like his situation has improved much - so why aren't his Avenger superfriends lending a hand? Writer-director Shane Black has probably got this covered, but just in case he missed Avengers Assemble at the cinema, here are some ways Thor, Hulk and co. can be shoe-horned into the film at short notice without having to assemble the expensive cast!

Hey Amazon, um... WHO is the star of The Avengers again? ಠ_ಠ

C'mon, even Paul Bettany would have been a better choice for first in your cast list.

Why can't Hollywood fcuking spell?

Time to report on a movie trend that's more terrifying than any unnecessary helicopter or diagonal title treatment: the fact that spelling standards are seemingly slipping throughout the film industry – from props and in-film graphics to promotional materials, posters and beyond. This inability to use proper spelling and grammar is more damning to Hollywood than any film directed by Peter Berg ever could be.

A film journalist yesterday filed some half-arsed copy for a lacklustre feature in which he was asked to examine why so many of this year's blockbuster hits feature archery. "Not my best work," said the journalist.

Assemble The Avengers for reals with our interactive playset

UPDATE: Now featuring Loki and Agent Coulson! PHIL!

We saw The Avengers. We loved The Avengers. So what better way to express our gratitude for Joss Whedon's love letter to geeks everywhere than locking ourselves in a room all Sunday with nothing but a tub of biscuits for company, and working on a geeky little project of our own? Although to be fair, the biscuit thing would've happened anyway.

Interview: Clark Gregg

Here's my final Avengers cast interview and it's fair to say that I've saved the big guns 'til last: Agent Coulson. It turns out that Clark Gregg who plays him is a massive comic-book geek who is happy to talk forever on the subject. It made for a great talk, but it was a bastard to transcribe. So please try to enjoy this twice as much to make it all worthwhile.

Another day in the run up to Avengers Assemble being released in cinemas, another opportunity for me to milk my interviews with the cast.
