You may remember reading a story late last year about actress Michelle Williams being cast as Marilyn Monroe (this isn’t the other Monroe film with Naomi Watts) in a project called My Week With Marilyn, based on Colin Clark’s book about Monroe’s time in London shooting the Laurence Olivier film The Prince and the Showgirl.

Oh hell yes! These two banners, originally referred to as “posters” although they’re clearly not official movie posters, have just debuted on Yahoo in anticipation of Marvel’s big panel at Comic-Con on Saturday.
