'Iron Man' sells out?

Iron Man the superhero cannot be beat when it comes to battling evil, but evidently 'Iron Man' the film cannot be beat when it comes to product placement, according to Brandchannel magazine.

Justin Theroux on 'Iron Man' vs 'Dark Knight': no comparison

In a recent interview, the writer of 'Iron Man 2' very briefly touched upon what he sees as the differences between 'The Dark Knight' and 'Iron Man'.

Gavin Hood on Wolverine

The director of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' discusses the character and why he is so appealing to people (it's the second of two videos on the page - the first one is an interview with Hugh Jackman).
