S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson doesn’t just get to be cool in movies like “Thor” and "The Avengers." Marvel is also giving him his own little one-shots.

The latest release is called “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer,” a title that's riffing on the musical and movie “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.” It will be available as an extra on the Blu-ray of “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

We previously showed you a preview, but now the whole clip is available.

There's been so much back and forth regarding whether a sequel to 2010's superhero action-comedy "Kick-Ass" would happen that it's hard to remember where it stands. The creator of the comics, Mark Millar, has stood by his conviction that a sequel to the film would happen and is currently working on a second book, but after stars Aaron Johnson and Lyndsy Fonseca claimed that a sequel probably wouldn't come to fruition, things seemed as grim as they could be. That is until screenwriter Jane Goldman told Absolute Radio that a sequel "wasn't in the works."

But all is not lost, "Kick-Ass" fans. Hit Girl herself, Chloe Moretz, recently told MTV News at the Scream Awards that some "Kick-Ass 2" news was imminent and seemed genuinely excited to share some hints.

The long wait is finally over: "The Walking Dead" returned tonight (October 16) for its second season on television. Despite the tremendous attention focused on original showrunner Frank Darabont's departure earlier this summer, it feels safe to say that based on this opening number, "Dead" is just as good as it ever was.

Fans of "The Walking Dead," returning this Sunday night (October 16), may be waiting with bated breath to see how the second season of the zombie survival series unfolds after a summer of behind the scenes drama. When AMC and executive producer Frank Darabont abruptly parted ways this past July, it was uncertain whether the hit show would remain the same without the driving force behind it.

Rest assured zombie fanatics. Robert Kirkman, writer of "The Walking Dead" comic series and executive producer on the show, stopped by MTV News and assured viewers that when the second season premieres this Sunday (October 16), it will be the same "Dead" we love and that the issues stayed behind the camera.

For all of the crazy CGI and amazing special effects in "Green Lantern," it's easy to forget that at some point the actual Ryan Reynolds was in front of a camera surrounded by a crew.

Aaron Eckhart is someone who I am always happy to see working. No matter what material he's working with, he always seems like he gives 100 percent to his work and is a complete professional. Therefore when Lionsgate announced that Eckhart would be their star in Stuart Beattie's "I, Frankenstein," adapted from Kevin Grevioux's graphic novel, I was pleased as punch.

When MTV News caught up with Eckhart recently during the press day for his latest film, "The Rum Diary," I asked him to give us a tease about what we can expect from him and the film.

Henry Cavill is putting the man back in Superman. Not only is he sporting a wily muff of facial hair, but he’s rockin’ a gnarly chest beard. These new pictures just released today, courtesy of Crave Online, show the Man of Steel in all of his shirtless glory. Maybe they should change his name to Man of Marble, because he looks like he is cut out of it, amiright?

[Editor's note: That's the last time you'll see "amiright" on Splash Page. Maybe.]
