It's been four days since we had our last "The Hobbit" dwarves reveal, and in our opinion that is much, much too long.

The latest "Hobbit" photo comes at us from MSN and is of dwarf brothers Fili (Dean O'Gorman) and Kili (Aiden Turner). That means seven of the 13 dwarves have been shown to us, and we're guessing we're going to be seeing the final six revealed over the next couple of weeks. Just don't leave us waiting this long next time!

In the news after the jump, Johnny Depp adds three new projects to his slate, a remake of "Evil Dead" gains traction and new posters arrive for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "50/50."

The Dark Knight RisesFROM SPLASH PAGE: "The Dark Knight Rises" is rumored to premiere its first official teaser trailer alongside the theatrical release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" later this week. What's not a rumor, however, is this week's debut of the first official poster from the film.

First unveiled over at the movie's official website, the first poster for Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman installment sets the stage for an astonishing amount of carnage and mayhem.

Sherlock HolmesIf you need something else to take your mind off the blistering summer heat, take a gander at the two new posters released for "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," both of which have a coolness about them that has us overly excited for the sequel's release on December 16.

The first one, which debuted over at Yahoo, features Robert Downey Jr. as the titular Sherlock Holmes as he looks straight into the camera, with a half smirk/half serious expression on his perfectly stubbled face. He also has his arms crossed, with a gun pointing over his shoulder where we see a slightly blurry, yet dapper figure in the background who we can safely assume to be Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty.

Check it out past the jump!

Optimus PrimeThe moon will turn dark on June 29 this year, and if you've been paying any attention to the MTV Movies Blog over the past few months, you'll know that's something we're pretty darn excited about.

With the release of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" less than two weeks away (!!!), IMAX and Paramount have released a brand spanking new IMAX 3D poster exclusively to Fandango, and it looks pretty frakkin' awesome from where we're sitting.

And if you don't think Optimus Prime is giving you one of the most sultry looks we've seen on a poster in recent months, then we might not be able to be friends anymore.

VoldemortContinuing the deluge of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" posters as we head into the final month before the film's release, today we have a companion poster released to go along with the ones we saw yesterday.

The first poster highlighted the good guys in the bunch -- Harry, Ron, Hermione, the Weasleys and Neville Longbottom, to name a few -- and this new one shows off our favorite baddies. There's Voldemort at the center, of course, with Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy flanking him, and Narcissa Malfoy looking on in the background. All this is set in the ruins of Hogwarts, as these posters have had a tendency to be, and the Death Eaters look poised for battle.

But there might be a little bit more to this poster if we read more into it. Spoilers up ahead!

John CarterLadies and gentlemen, feast your eyes: "John Carter" has arrived.

Well, in a manner of speaking, at least. The first official poster for "John Carter" is here, showing Taylor Kitsch as the military man who finds himself suddenly thrust into the thick of an epic conflict between the various warring parties on Mars. It's Pixar staple Andrew Stanton's first live-action directorial effort, and based on what co-star Mark Strong had to say about the project recently — not to mention what we're seeing in this teaser poster — it's looking like "Carter" won't disappoint.

Check out the full poster past the jump!

AvengersFROM MTV SPLASH PAGE: We've heard from several of the "Avengers" stars recently about seeing the whole team in costume, but we're another step closer to seeing Earth's Mightiest Heroes assemble with today's debut of a new promotional image for the film.

During the Licensing Expo 2011 convention in Las Vegas, an eagle-eyed attendee snapped a photo of an image advertising the upcoming line of "Avengers" movie-licensed merchandise. And while it's not an official movie promo image, it does give us our first decent look at Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and the new costume Captain America dons in the modern era.

The photo was snapped by Twitter user theonlyesq, and shows Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye, Thor, Black Widow, and Iron Man leaping — and smashing and flying and jump-kicking — into action.

Harry PotterIn 32 days, the end will arrive, and we aren't quite sure if we're ready yet.

Fortunately, Warner Bros. has been pumping us full of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" posters to make sure that we'll at least be prepared. A whole slew of awesome character posters hit the web last week, and now we are getting our first looks at some new banners and full posters for the flick that highlight its cinematic action. Hello, Battle of Hogwarts and escape from Gringotts!

These new posters definitely call back to some of what we saw for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1's" marketing campaign, but we're glad that WB is making sure audiences know that they have a big movie to look forward to once July 15 rolls around.

VoldemortThe end is in sight, my fellow "Harry Potter" enthusiasts. Quite literally, really!

Warner Bros. has released a whole slew of awesome, action-packed "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" posters. Beyond the grim, dark promotion of the movie, the posters also highlight a whole bunch of minor characters who have important roles to play in this final "Potter" installment. It's nice to see you, Griphook, George and Fred, Professor McGonagall and Neville Longbottom!

After the jump, we go through our three favorite posters of the new bunch and continue to mourn the end of "Potter."

Harry PotterIt all ends July 15, 2011, as the bad boys of "Harry Potter" are here to remind you.

We already saw Harry, Ron, Neville Longbottom and Hermione looking terrified but ready for the final installment of the "Harry Potter" saga, but now Warner Bros has released new character posters for Snape, Voldemort and Draco Malfoy as well. The trio of evil look cautious but battle-ready and, if we're being honest, downright sexy in their respective posters.

Snape, Draco and, of course, Voldemort all have integral parts to play in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," which is why we're glad to see that Warner Bros. followed up the previous four posters with these three characters. With a month and a half left until the release of the eighth and final "Potter" movie, we're interested to see what other characters will come next.
