Yeah, we're all bummed we can't be at the Avengers: Age of Ultron premiere at the Dolby Theater - but thank Thor, Marvel is streaming it live! You can even catch a new clip from the film (if you're not actively avoiding all new footage, like me). The livestream will be hosted by Marvel.com's Lorraine Cink and Tamara Krinsky, and they're expected to chat with RDJ, ScarJo, the Chrises, Ruffalo, Renner, and more. Check it out right here at 9:30pmE/6:30pmP.

Courtesy is very important when you're working with Nick Fury. OK, OK, you wouldn't like the Hulk when he's angry. But you really don't want to be rude to the Director. Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?

Captain America: The Winter Soldier may not have a poster or trailer yet, but we now have a good idea of what Steve Rogers will be facing in his third big screen appearance. Marvel has released a plot summary for the upcoming film, giving us a bit more information on the involvement of SHIELD and how the film connects to The Avengers. Plus, actors Cobie Smulders and Anthony Mackie have contributed to the news with their own information on how Captain America: The Winter Soldier is its own unique Marvel film.

We've got another movie-to-TV part crossover for Agents of SHIELD: Cobie Smulders's Maria Hill appears in one of the newest trailers for the upcoming Marvel show, and we are very excited. Who wouldn't be, though? Maria Hill is an incredibly interesting character who didn't get much screen time during The Avengers, so the chance to see her on AoS and learn more about the film canon of the character is a welcome opportunity. There are also two other short previews that came out for the show recently. See them under the cut!

Maria Hill is a character to watch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, her immediate superiors are either officially dead or just royally pissed off the board of shadowy figures that apparently has enough power to allow American government employees to make in-no-way-covert strikes on German soil and not cause an international incident. But what does Cobie Smulders, once Joss Whedon's pick for Wonder Woman, have to say about her future in the MCU? Crave Online talked to her and Kat Dennings (Thor's Darcy) about a number of the MCU's female characters and what Winter Soldier, The Dark World, Agents of SHIELD, and even Age of Ultron.

Last night we posted a livestream of the Iron Man 3 premiere from the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Today, Disney has graciously shared some images from the red carpet and after party. I guess I was spoiled by Robert Downey Jr. in lederhosen but I'm a little let down he didn't wear anything wacky. Take a look at the stars from the film and see who else popped up from the Marvel Universe.

Well, the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot has wrapped, so now it's just time for waiting, right? Surely there isn't any more information on the show that we can milk out of Joss Whedon and crew, so let's just await its inevitable greenlighting as a full series, filming, and finally... its airing on television. Oh, who are we kidding, Whedon's going to be answering questions about S.H.I.E.L.D. for the next year. This round, he talks about Marvel characters, Cobie Smulders, and the series' overall tone.

"The commitments to [How I Met Your Mother] don’t affect it. And I can’t really say but there are definite talks about it." — Cobie Smulders on the possibility of Maria Hill badassing the place up a bit in S.H.I.E.L.D..

So we know that Captain America is still looking for a leading lady, and that it's going to be about Bucky Barnes, and that Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow will appear... but what about her other S.H.I.E.L.D. brethren? Well, we have two confirmed.

I knew they were going to make it a S.H.I.E.L.D. television show! I knew it!!!

Marvel has put this alternate opening scene of The Avengers online for the viewing, as part of its ongoing campaign to get people psyched for the DVD release of the movie (which could have just been accomplished by officially releasing the blooper reel, I mean, come on), and it's totally understandable that this didn't make it into the final film. It places the film in an entirely different sort of narrative loop by beginning with the end, and more than that, it's completely at odds with the tone of the rest of the movie. The Avengers was big, bombastic, optimistic, and blissfully consequence free (aside from a certain S.H.I.E.L.D agent and his friends). What this scene, chock full of Cobie Smulders, feels more like is the opening scene or the teaser trailer for The Avengers 2, a movie that plays up the tension between Smulders' Maria Hill and Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, in the lead up to the colonel being removed from his command just when the world needs him most.

I'm not entirely certain that this gag reel has been placed online in any official capacity... so we'll have to see how long this particular version remains viewable. But for now, all I can say is: Cobie Smulders for President. Mark Ruffalo and his dainty hops for vice president.
