Robert Downey Jr. has signed a deal with Marvel Studios to reprise his role as Iron Man in The Avengers alongside other Marvel heroes Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk.

Holla!

RDJ and Edward Norton side-by-side is like film ambrosia. We know Daniel Craig turned Thor down (in our interview for Quantum of Solace, he said, “I said no [to Thor]. I can’t play Bond and Thor. What am I on some stupid f--king power trip? With the blonde hair and the big hammer. No.”) but perhaps he could be convinced otherwise. And might we suggest Ryan Reynolds as Captain America?

As part of his Avengers deal, Downey Jr. will also appear in two more Iron Man movies. Iron Man 2 is due for release in 2010 and The Avengers will tackle cinemas in 2011.

This is just awesome across the board.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
