With “Iron Man” holding on to #1 at the box office for a second week, the Marvel properties certainly do seem hotter than ever. They’ve already announced “Captain America,” talked about possibilities for an “Avengers” flick, and given “Thor” a June 4, 2010 due date.

So we’re sure you’ve heard the speculation about Brad Pitt being the top name being tossed around for the title role. We wonder, now that “Layer Cake” director Matthew Vaughn is no longer helming the picture (apparently because his holding deal expired) does that mean Jason Statham isn’t a contender? We’re not sure if we should be relieved or disappointed.

But who do you think would make the most kickass Norse God of Thunder? Well, we think the star should be someone who made an unlikely appearance as the perceived hero back in 1987.

Yeah, that’s Vincent D’onofrio in the film “Adventures in Babysitting.” Amazing, right? So what are the requirements for the mightiest Thor? Does he have to be blonde? Buff? Have an affinity for helmets? Chime in below with your own thoughts.

It was looking to be a great day. I felt well-rested when I woke up, was a little more familiar with L.A. traffic…things were good. Then the edit started. By 1pm, we had crashed eight times. EIGHT TIMES! How is that even possible? Damn technology! The only good part has been when we stepped out during one of the rebootings to visit Tully’s…I’d never been so Darryl (our editor) was kind enough to give me a tour. Really good fruit cups!

We finally had to switch edit rooms and force the “Iron Man” set visit into the forsaken Avid. As of now, they’ve had no problems, so it’s clearly something that Darryl and I were doing. Today’s agenda, if the computers allow: finish the Whitney Port Fashion Transformation and add some special effects to all we’ve done so far. Whitney had what looks to be a fairly painful sunburn during the shoot, so my sympathy goes out to her. She was shopping in some excellent stores and seemed to have narrowed down her picks, so I can’t wait to see what she’ll arrive in. Here’s hoping she doesn’t trip down the stairs again. What? No judgment! I fall on my face daily. Not sure when we’ll be able to start the “Transformers” exclusive segments, but I’m looking forward to it because I’m really psyched to see the movie and any sneak peek I can get, I will take.

Segment Producer Vanessa White Wolf took a moment from her hectic schedule leading up to this Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards (8PM/7C) to let us know what she’s busy with as all of us here prepare for the big show.

So today was my first day in the L.A. offices for this year’s MTV Movie Awards Pre-Show (airing Sunday at 7:30PM ET). My first order of business is working with editor extraordinaire Darryl Fox on the very special Fashion Transformations we’ll be featuring in the Pre-Show.

Finishing a rough cut of the Megan Fox segment as I type this; the “Transformers” star let our cameras tag along as she met with her stylists to pick a dress for the show. She, of course, looks amazing in pretty much anything so I think the most difficult part will be deciding which one she likes best. Unfortunately, as I watch the tape, she says that each of the 17 dresses (not that many, but almost) is her favorite.

As soon as we’re done with that, Darryl and I will start piecing together the Whitney Port segment. You’ll remember Whitney from “The Hills” as LC’s co-intern at Teen Vogue. We followed her and her friend Joanna as they shopped on Robertson Blvd.

In the next few days, we’ll be working on “Transformers” exclusive segments, like a look at all the cars featured in the film and a segment focused on director Michael Bay. During the actual pre-show, I’ll be floor-producing SuChin Pak on our homebase from the hot pink carpet. Immediately after, I’ll run to the production truck to cut various pieces for the on demand post show. So yeah, a pretty busy week ahead. I must say, for the record, the L.A. offices are much bigger than the NYC offices. And they have much better lighting. Plus, Red Vines and ice cream sandwiches in the vending machines! It’s ridiculous.
