Hoping to see "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/454627/moviemain.jhtml"]The Dark Knight Rises[/url]" a little bit early? Hang on for another two months and you just might get your chance.

The latest Batman buzz is that a [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/19/dark-knight-rises-prologue/"]six-minute "Dark Knight Rises" prologue[/url] will be attached to copies of the IMAX release of "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/448785/moviemain.jhtml"]Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol[/url]" in December, just like the Joker-driven opening scene of "The Dark Knight" was attached to "I Am Legend" ahead of its release. Warner Bros. declined to comment on the story, so take this one as a rumor for now. We'll bring you official word when we get it.

[b]Dum Dum Digs "America"[/b]
Neal McDonough did a great, if underrated, job playing [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/19/neal-mcdonough-captain-america-2/"]Dum Dum Dugan in "Captain America,"[/url] and the actor hopes to put the soldier's bowler cap on once again for a sequel. Saying he "can't wait for 'Cap 2,'" the actor told us about the character: "Here's a guy from Boston like myself who's this big, brawly, all-America ass kicker. I was like, 'Oh, ok. That's easy to play. That's me!'"

[b]Man of Fights[/b]
We all know how much Russell Crowe adores fighting 'round the world, and it looks like the Oscar winner will get to do just that when "Man of Steel" flies into theaters. The actor revealed that he's currently shooting a lengthy fight sequence opposite Michael Shannon, which means [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/19/russell-crowe-man-of-steel/"]General Zod and Jor-El are going to be throwing down[/url] in the Superman reboot. Sounds cool to us!

[b]For Asgard![/b]
We [i]still[/i] don't know who Earth's Mightiest Heroes are going up against when "The Avengers" assembles next summer, but [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/10/19/avengers-villains-tom-hiddleston/"]Tom Hiddleston dropped a hint[/url] that Loki has fanboy-friendly "help" on his side. See what he had to say.
