The Temple of Kung Fu line will feature a broad variety of figures inspired by the legend and career of Bruce Lee, as well as those from Kung Fu’s history and lore. MAD is eager to be working on the Bruce Lee brand. "I've been a fan of Bruce Lee since watching his movies as a kid, and he's become such an icon I jumped at the opportunity to create this line," said MAD. "I think everyone will be blown away by our first release."

The Avengers International Character One Sheet Movie Posters

The Avengers International Character Movie Posters - Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow & Chris Hemsworth as Thor

These six new The Avengers character one sheet movie posters from Marvel are seriously all over the place. Some look cool, while others are photoshop disasters. I’ve come to expect so much more from Marvel’s Avengers marketing campaign than these so/so international posters. What is up with the ghost of Captain America in the back of the Black Widow poster!?! With that being said, there are some aspects of these posters I love.

The Avengers International Character Movie Posters - Mark Ruffalo as Hulk & Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye

First up, Captain America is finally wearing his mask! Chris Evans is cool, but I always think he looks so weird wearing his Captain America uniform without its mask. This is Sentinel of Libertty I’ve come to know and love. Second, how cool is the Hawkeye/Hulk poster!?! I think it’s the best designer poster of the bunch. Third, I love that the team's b-list heroes (Black Widow, Hawkeye and the Hulk) are finally getting some respect by being featured prominently in two posters each. And last but not least, can you say Maria Hill! Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill finally made her world debut in an Avengers one sheet as back up to her SHIELD boss, Nick Fury.
