Why are Daniel Radcliffe and Jon Hamm joining forces again? Does Sir Ian McKellan fancy the younger version of Magneto, Michael Fassbender? Why is Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy so delightfully weird and crazy for a superhero film?

Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe are reteaming for a second series of the British dramedy, Young Doctor's Notebook. In the darkly comic show, Jon Hamm plays a doctor in the Russian Revolution who recounts his experiences as a young man as played in flashbacks by Radcliffe. [Deadline]

Speaking of younger and older alter egos, Sir Ian McKellan wouldn't stop flirting with Michael Fassbender at the X-Men: Days of Future Past Comic-Con panel. The elder gay thespian kept making allusions to marriage and shooting saucy glances at the roguish Irish actor's way. [Vulture]

Over the weekend, Marvel unveiled its first footage of its new and "absolutely mad" superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy. While director James Gunn's favorite character might be Rocket Raccoon (who is an actual talking raccoon), the leader of the pack is Chris Pratt's Star-Lord.
