In the closest we've gotten to a confirmation that Marvel Studios is working on a cinematic version of their Sorcerer Supreme "Doctor Strange," The Hollywood Reporter is Hollywood reporting that the studio will be meeting with four directors this week.

Doctor Strange, for those with less than a passing knowledge of the over half a century old comics character, was created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. In the comics, Dr. Stephen Strange is an arrogant but brilliant surgeon who gets in a drunken car crash and loses the use of his hands. To get them back, he travels to visit the mystical Ancient One, a man who eventually trains him in the mystic arts. Though Strange initially rebels, over time he revokes his arrogance and gains the title of Sorcerer Supreme.

So basically, "Iron Man" but with magic.

According to the report, the directors Marvel is looking at are: Mark Andrews ("Brave"); Nikolaj Arcel ("A Royal Affair"); Dean Israelite ("Welcome to Yesterday"); and Jonathan Levine ("Warm Bodies," "50/50").

In addition, the studio may be looking to court Jon Aibel and Glenn Berger, the duo behind "Kung Fu Panda" to write the script. Which, given their experience with having an arrogant main character who travels to a remote dojo to learn mystical skills before learning to care for others seems pretty on the nose.

The director choices, on the other hand, are all over the map. Here's what we think each one might bring to the project:

1. Jonathan Levine
At least around the MTV offices, Levine is the number one ...

Are you suffering from Jon Snow withdrawal? Luckily, has you covered, marking the transition of Kit Haringtonfrom the small screen to the big one.

"Pompeii" tells the story of the ill-fated city and its inhabitants before Mount Vesuvius destroyed everything in its path. And no, that's not a spoiler. Just ask your fifth-grade history teacher.

Taking its cues from movies like "Titanic," Paul W.S. Anderson's "Pompeii" uses the eruption of Mount Vesuvius as backdrop for a love story. Harrington plays Milo, a gladiator slave who who must save his love Cassia (Emily Browning) from her evil husband. And just because that would be too easy, he also has to defeat gladiators and outrun the destruction of Vesuvius while doing so.

Is it good enough to survive the critics?

Come For The Volcano, Stay For The Gladiators
"All that pales before the gladiatorial stuff. Anderson's battles are crisp, brutal, and stirring, and unlike Ridley Scott he doesn't try to shame us for wanting to see gladiators crack each other's skulls. The choreography is about killing and blocking rather than heroic poses, and Anderson distinguishes himself as the rare action director who shows us real bodies in real space in real reaction to each other, who prizes legibility over quick-cut dazzlement, who stages his fights with comic-book zeal rather than puffed-up graphic-novel miserableness." — Alan Scherstuhl, The Village Voice

But Don't Stay For The Love Story
"But with a central love story that feels contrived from the very first note, the major pleasure here is seeing it all blown to smithereens as quickly ...

Pharrell's 30-gallon hat arguably won the Grammys, shut down the Internet and brought this into the world. And now, that hat can be yours.

That's right: The Grammy-winning producer is putting his Vivienne Westwood "mountain hat" up for auction, with all proceeds benefitting his From One Hand to Another non-profit, a foundation that aims to "change the world one kid at a time by giving them the tools and resources to meet their unique potential."

So if you play your cards right — and if you have a few thousands to burn — that chapeau could be all yours in just a few days. Well, technically, you'll get anywhere between March 17 and March 21, according to eBay, which is hosting in the auction.

At press time, the highest bid was at $10,500 — and that's after just over an hour of bidding. There's still nearly 10 days left — bidding ends on March 2 at 5 p.m. PT — so chances are, this number is going to multiply.

And while anyone is welcome to enter the race, Pharrell had a special invitation on Twitter. "Hey @Arbys, you want my hat? Now's your chance," he wrote, weeks after the fast-food chain tweeted "Can we have our hat back?" at the Grammys on January 26.

And if you're part of the 90 percent of the population who doesn't have 10K to spend on a hat, Pharrell has a separate hat collection, with headgear ranging from $75 to $300.

The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach is ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence — and when we say "ultra-violence," we mean Lana Del Rey's upcoming record. It seems that the Grammy-winning producer is on board to work on Del Rey's "A Clockwork Orange"-titled effort.

Thursday (February 20), the singer took to Instagram to share a snap of her mugging with Auerbach, writing, "Me and Dan Auerbach are excited to present you Ultraviolence." Del Rey revealed the title of the album in December at the Hollywood premiere of her short film "Tropico."

The pairing is an interesting one, given statements made by The Black Keys singer to MTV News back in 2012 about the singer.

"On some level, we've seen that Lana Del Rey thing since we first started, like, all of a sudden this new band would be headlining festivals, and we're like, 'Wait, how did they get that? We've been here for two, three, four, five years and we're still working our way up,'" Auerbach said. "But then they're gone. Just as quickly as they get up there, they disappear."

Well, two years have gone by and Del Rey is still holding strong, having scored a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album for Paradise, among other honors.

Auerbach has previously produced for the likes of Dr. John, JEFF The Brotherhood and The Growlers, collaborations that portend an interesting fate for Ultra-Violence.

The Growler's 2013 record, Hung At Heart, in particular, blended a melange of throwback sounds (surf and country included) with striking songwriting — a sensibility ...

LEGO is huge right now. From the gigantic success of "The LEGO Movie," to their partnership with "Star Wars," Marvel and DC movie properties the brick builders dominated New York's Toy Fair, and the toy shelves on a year round basis. That doesn't look to stop anytime soon, either: at Toy Fair, we got a glimpse of upcoming sets for "Guardians of the Galaxy," "The LEGO Movie," "Star Wars Rebels," and even "Ghostbusters."

So who you gonna call? LEGO, that's who:

"Guardians of the Galaxy"
As with any big Marvel movie property, most of LEGO's "Guardians of the Galaxy" line was under wraps. But we can show you the previously revealed "Milano Spaceship Rescue," a 665 piece set that retails for $74.99, and features Chris Pratt's "muscle car" of a spaceship from the movie.

We can also give you details on the other two sets, though pictures will be coming later:

» "Knowhere Escape Mission," a 433 piece set for $39.99 that features Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Nebula, and shock-trooper The Sakaaran. Of note, the Groot figure is about three inches tall and needs to be built as part of the set.

» "Starblaster Showdown," a 196 piece set for $19.99, featuring Star-Lord and The Sakaaran, each with their own ship.

"The LEGO Movie"
Though the first batch of "LEGO Movie" toys played it safe, they rapidly disappeared from toy shelves. Wave two should double that business with several gigantic sets including:

"Metal Beard's Sea Cow," a 2,471 piece set for $249.99 that comes packaged with the movie's signature double-decker couch. That'll hit stores ...
