Please note: This has been confirmed as fan art and was not made by Marvel.

Coming at you like a geeky avalanche The Avengers looks set to be the first big winner in the movie season I’m going to call Superhero Summer (for this post at least).

If you were one of the four people who didn’t welcome the Super Bowl spot for Marvel’s film like the second coming then do click here to catch up.

Hyperbole aside it is looking pretty great, certainly Joss Whedon is the man to bring together the disparate heroic elements and here’s a new look at our new friends looking very determined.

Look below with your eyes and click below with your fingertips if you seek a bigger version,

Thank you Comic Book Movie.

If you’re a Marvel fan then you’ll have seen the teaser for this teaser already with some new footage of our heroes fighting intergalatic nasties and now here’s the whole thing.

The whole gang is here with Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, of whom we get a better look here), Hawkeye (new Bourne man Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson), the eyepatched Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

Whichever way you look at it there’s a pretty fine cast there and it’ll take a director with an eye for the ensemble to tame it. Step forward Joss Whedon.

Here’s the spot and here’s the rest of our Super Bowl coverage.

More promotional artwork has been released for Marvel’s The Avengers this week, which includes a brilliant 3D poster.

The Avengers, which is set to be released on 27th April, begins when Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as SHIELD, finds himself in need of a team after an unexpected enemy threatens global safety. Following on from Marvel’s big-screen adventures that began with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers unites the superhero team starring Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Mark Ruffalo as The Incredible Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.

Here are the wall displays thanks to Comic Book Movie, which are available to buy on Trends International:

Last week, we heard that Joss Whedon, Tom Hiddleston, and Clark Gregg would be hosting a Global Twitter Chat for Marvel’s upcoming The Avengers tonight. We also heard that with the chat, we’d be getting a teaser for the film’s upcoming TV spot at this weekend’s Superbowl, and we now have that awesome video to share with you!

The TV spot itself is set to be a thirty-second video, and this ten-second tease (seventeen seconds all in, technically) is just so damn good, with some brilliant new footage that we didn’t get in the ridiculously awesome first trailer at the end of last year.

You can catch up on all the questions and answers from the chat, which Samuel L. Jackson also took part in, over at The Avengers’ Twitter, with writer-director Joss Whedon answering questions there, and Clark Gregg, Tom Hiddleston, and Samuel L. Jackson answering their questions on their own respective Twitters.

Whedon is directing from a script he’s co-written with Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk), and all of our favourite superhero cast from the Marvel Universe will be reprising their roles from recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, taking over from Edward Norton), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

The Avengers will be with us in 3D on 27th April, a date which should be imprinted in your mental calendar – if it’s not, get out your diary and set it down now, because it’s a date you’re going to want to remember. For now, here’s your ten-second tease. Be sure to check back at the weekend to see the full thirty-second spot. It looks set to be immense.

The marketing campaign is well and truly underway for Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers, which brings together all of the awesome characters we’ve loved watching over the past few years in their separate movies for one epic superhero blockbuster.

Just last night, we put up some great images and specs of Tony Stark’s $9m. car that’s on display at Sundance to promote the film, and today we’ve got more brilliant stills to share with you. Marvel have released five hi-res stills, with thanks to ComicBookMovie.com for the tip-off, three of which we’ve seen before just a few days ago, but only as scans from Empire Magazine.

We also heard talk yesterday about the possibility of Captain America 2 going into production this year following Iron Man 3 and Thor 2, as well as the S.H.I.E.L.D. movie potentially following those three. Marvel are certainly firing on all cylinders, and doing one hell of a job at it too.

Whedon is directing The Avengers from a script he’s co-written with Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk), and all of our favourite superhero cast from the Marvel Universe will of course be reprising their roles from recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, taking over from Edward Norton), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlet Johannson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

The Avengers will be released here in the UK in 3D on 27th April, precisely three months from today. Anybody else excited? (As if I even need to ask.) You can catch up on all things The Avengers-related right here, and if you’ve not yet seen it but would like to, I’ll particularly point your attention towards the rather impressive (read: utterly incredible) first trailer that surfaced late last year. And as usual with these new images, you can click to enlarge. I especially love the second one of Samuel L. Jackson/Nick Fury at the head of the table, staring down the camera. And Jeremy Renner’s veins look a little bit like they’re about to explode in the fourth shot. Awesome stuff.

A quick word of warning before things get too spoilery in here: should you wish to watch The Avengers with fresh eyes, this news really isn’t for you.

Really. I’m being serious. This is (potentially) massive and (if confirmed) it can never be unseen.

We ready? Good.

In a recent interview with The Radio Times, Jenny Agutter made a throwaway remark which has hurled the internet into a frenzy of speculation (via Total Film).

Having just admitted that she was only allowed to see a copy of the script once on set, having been sworn to secrecy (better luck next time, Marvel), the actress, who plays a council woman in the upcoming movie, passingly alluded to two nearby Winnebagos, one belonging to Iron Man and the other to…Spider-man.

“But”, I hear you ask, “huh”? While in the comic books Spider-man has been known to work with The Avengers, even joining their number in The New Avengers series, it was presumed that he wouldn’t be featuring in the cinematic series any time soon, not least because the big screen rights to the character currently sit with Sony.

Should there be more to Agutter’s claims than a simple slip of the tongue or a harmless confusion of her superheroes, this revelati0n would mean some sort of agreement has been reached between Sony and Marvel allowing the crossover cameo to take place, furthering Marvel’s mission to have all of their superheroes living in the same universe (until the next reboot, anyway) and presumably providing Sony with some free publicity before their The Amazing Spider-man reaches screens in July.

What might at first glance seem like quite an exciting possibility, providing of course Joss Whedon can find room to do justice to another iconic character, however, soon raises more questions. Would Sony really want their suited and booted Spider-man revealed prior to the release of their own origin story? Who would portray the character? When exactly would the cross over take place, in either franchise’s timelines?

Marvel will no doubt be quick to either confirm or deny this sizeable leak of information, but in the meantime it’s certainly a juicy prospect, particularly if Whedon can pull it off. What do you think? Would you like to see everybody’s favourite neighbourhood Spider-man crop up in The Avengers, even if it’s just as a cameo or end of credits Easter egg? Or is this one cross over too many?

It was only a few days ago that we got to see some brilliant new promo images for The Avengers released in celebration of the Chinese New Year. We’ve now got some more excellent images of the Marvel superheroes as four of them grace the cover of Empire, in a four-cover issue, giving you a choice of Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, and Captain America to add to your collection.

Not only that, but there are some great scans from inside the issue, which is released this Thursday, coming via ComingSoon.net and Collider, as well as snippets from their interview with Kevin Feige, Marvel’s President of Production, and Tom Hiddleston, who will play Loki, on some of the things we can and can’t expect from writer-director Joss Whedon’s upcoming superhero blockbuster.

Hiddleston said of his impending villainous role,

“He knows who he is now, and what his powers are. In order for The Avengers to come together, Loki has to be more menacing, and all of his malevolence is founded in a completely delusional dream.”

And when Feige was asked about Loki’s army,

“Who said they were aliens?… It’s not Skrulls, I’ve been clear about that. Beyond that, we want to hide it. The identity of the alien race is not impactful. It exists in the comic books, but we’re not setting up the Kree-Skrull war or anything like that.”

And for some time now, rumours have been circling that Red Skull, played by Hugo Weaving in Captain America: The First Avenger, would be returning in Whedon’s film, but Feige seems to clearly put that rumour to bed:

“Was [Red] Skull vaporised at the end of [Captain America: The First Avengers], or thrust into another realm? That remains to be seen. It would be fun to see Skull in future, but he’s not in this one.”

Marvel have shown that they’re clearly invested in continuing this recent slate of superhero films, with Iron Man 3, Thor 2, and hopefully The Avengers 2, all currently on the line-up, so there’ll be plenty of room for Weaving to reprise his role in the near future.

Whedon is directing from a script he’s co-written with Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk), and all of our favourite superhero cast from the Marvel Universe will be reprising their roles from recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, taking over from Edward Norton), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlet Johannson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

The Avengers will be with us in 3D on 27th April here in the UK, which means we’ve only got three months left before we can see them assemble. Here’s to hoping the time flies by. For now, here are the brilliant new cover images and page scans to enjoy. As usual, click to enlarge. And in case you missed it, you can catch up on the immense first trailer that hit towards the end of last year, and all the rest of our coverage of the film right here.

Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers is by far one of the most highly anticipated films of 2012. We’ve been seeing plenty of great things from the project in recent months, with the mind-blowing first trailer arriving back in October last year. If you’ve missed that and all our coverage for the film, you can catch up on it here.

Some brilliant new promo images have now been released for the film, courtesy of The Borneo Post via ComingSoon.net. For six days starting tomorrow, these red envelopes (which Wikipedia tells me are also known as hóngbāo, Ang Pao, Lai See, Sae Bae Don, and Lì Xì in a variety of Asian languages) will be given out to cinemagoers in a handful of Asian theatres, in celebration of the Chinese New Year.

Whedon is directing from a script he’s co-written with Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk), and all of our favourite superhero cast from the Marvel Universe will be reprising their roles from recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, taking over from Edward Norton), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlet Johannson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

The plot is being kept fairly under wraps, as is to be expected, but it’s a safe bet that it’s going to be nothing short of immense. Whedon can do no wrong in my eyes, and I can’t wait to see his take on bringing together all the Marvel characters from their recent slate of superhero films.

You can no doubt easily understand why it featured in so many of our Most Anticipated Films of 2012 here at HeyUGuys. The Avengers will be with us in 3D on 27^th April here in the UK, which is a date that can’t come fast enough. Only three more months to go. Until then, here are the great new promo images of the red envelopes. As usual, you can click to enlarge.

Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) and Tilda Swinton (Burn After Reading) are in talks to star in Moho Films’ Snow Piercer.

Bell and Swinton would star opposite Chris Evans (Captain America: The First Avenger) in the indie drama.

Co-written by Joon-ho Bong (The Host) and Chan-wook Park (Lady Vengeance), Snow Piercer centres on a train full of travellers who struggle to co-exist.

Bong is set to make his domestic directorial debut, with production expected to kick off in March.

Bell was last heard in the motion-capture The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, while Swinton has picked up numerous award nominations for her excellent performance in We Need to Talk About Kevin.

Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers is without a doubt one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, and in the past few months, we’ve been treated to plenty of brilliant images, posters, and that all-important first trailer that took the Internet by storm back in October. Truly, it made the film look even more incredible than we all knew it would be.

Earlier this month, we saw some new footage from the film when the German trailer came online, and we’ve now got a bit more to see with the Russian trailer that MSN Russia have put up, via ComingSoon.net. Like the German trailer, it’s very similar to the English language one, but with a few added moments of awesomeness to soak up ahead of its release next spring.

Whedon is directing from a script he’s co-written with Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand, The Incredible Hulk), and all of our favourite superhero cast from the Marvel Universe will be reprising their roles from recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo, taking over from Edward Norton), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlet Johannson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

No matter how many times I see Downey, Jr. cut away in mid-air with an instant change of direction in the Iron Man suit, I still love it, and can’t wait to see it once more on the big screen. The Avengers will be with us in 3D on 27^th April next year, which means we’ve got less than four months to prepare ourselves for its awesomeness. Here’s the new trailer to tie you down until then. And if that’s not enough, you can catch up on everything else we’ve seen for the film right here.

Yesterday was a pretty big day for some of next year’s biggest and most anticipated films. We got two great teaser trailers for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, the first trailer for Wrath of the Titans, an exclusive image from Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, as well as the first full-length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (which was, expectedly, epic).

And last but by far not least, we also got some new footage from Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers in the film’s German trailer, and following on from that, Marvel have put out two awesome new images that we’ve got to share with you, via ComingSoon.net.

Given what director and co-writer Joss Whedon did with a modest budget of just under $40m. on Serenity, one of my favourite action sci-fi films of all time, I cannot wait to see his vision for The Avengers with its budget north of $200m. Along with everybody else, I’m expecting it to be one of the best films we can look forward to next year.

As you’re no doubt all aware, the film will be bringing together all of our favourite characters from the Marvel Universe that we’ve been seeing in all of their films in recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlet Johannson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Cregg), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

We got the incredible first trailer for The Avengers back in October, and have seen plenty of other great stuff from the film before and after, all of which you can catch up on right here. The film will be hitting the big screen on 27^th April next year, so if you haven’t already committed the date to memory, I highly recommend you do so now. Until then, here are the great new stills to feast your eyes on. As usual, click to enlarge.

No sign of a Dark Knight Rising, but who needs it when there’s a little bit more of The Avengers ala Joss Whedon in the offing today as a new German trailer is released.

It is similar to the trailer we’ve seen already but there is a little new footage in there which makes this a must-see for Whedonites and Marvel fans alike.

The cast of the new movie includes Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Jenny Agutter, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany and Robert Downey J which, when you think about it, is a pretty fine cast.

Here’s the trailer, with thanks to Cine_Heroes for the heads up.

Marvel have just sent us these nice new banners for The Avengers. Yes they very similar to the US ones that we saw a month or two ago but this time we have lost the big A on the posts so we can see the characters in all their glory! I think that Iron Man (RDJ and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) also have slightly different poses). I give you, two new banners for Marvel’s new movie, The Avengers!

The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson, most of which are on these new posters.

Marvel Studios presents “Marvel’s The Avengers”—the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting eventmovie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble in summer 2012.

It hits UK cinemas 27th April.

Click the posters to enlarge.

Chris Evans (Captain America: The First Avenger) has signed on to topline Millenium Films’ The Iceman, replacing James Franco (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), who exited the project last month.

Evans will star opposite Ray Liotta (Identity), Michael Shannon (Take Shelter), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Sherrybaby), David Schwimmer and Ryan O’Nan (The Dry Land) in the gritty indie drama.

The Iceman will tell the true story of Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer and family man.

Ariel Vromen will direct from a screenplay he wrote with Morgan Land.

Production is due to start next month.

With a bonus material-packed Blu-ray of this summer’s blockbuster hit Captain America: The First Avenger on its way, Marvel have given us a sneak peak at one of the deleted scenes from the film to stir up anticipation ahead of its release in early December.

The short clip begins with one of The First Avenger’s more lighthearted moments – a USO show in which Cap (Chris Evans) is seen on stage with a lineup of beautiful, high-kicking dancers – before cutting to the Battle at Azzano, a fierce gunfight in which Dum Dum Dugan (Neal McDonough), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and their team find themselves confronted by a terrifying new HYDRA weapon that threatens to turn the tide of the war.

Unlike a lot of deleted scenes that pop up on DVD and Blu-ray this one is seriously good quality and virtually complete, with only the final visual effects shot of HYDRA’s weapon remaining unfinished. And while the sequence doesn’t add anything new to the film’s plot, it’s still an enjoyable glimpse at a minute and a half of cut footage from what I think we would all agree was one of this summer’s more enjoyable blockbusters.

The Avengers is the next Marvel movie that we’re all very much looking forward to after Captain America: The First Avenger. The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and after you see this trailer, you’re going to be very keen to see the completed movie when it’s released 27th April 2012.

The Avengers will see many of you favourite Marvel characters all come together to create a rather epic movie. The cast of the new movie includes Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Jenny Agutter, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany and Robert Downey Jr.

If you’ve missed all our coverage from The Avengers, you can keep track of it all here.

Earlier today, we had a trailer for the trailer but now, the full version is here in all it’s glory! Without further ado, he’s the trailer for the movie for your viewing pleasure!

Here we go again people, it’s the trailer for the trailer for new Marvel, movie, The Avengers. Entertainment Tonight have released the early footage for the trailer that we’re expecting to hit some time this afternoon. We’ll obviously get it placed on the site as soon as we can for your viewing pleasure.

The Avengers will see many of you favourite Marvel characters all come together to create a rather epic movie. The cast we think will appear includes Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Jenny Agutter, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany and Robert Downey Jr. We’ve already had quite a few images ad some other footage from the movie, all if which you can see here. Keep your eyes peeled for more and keep your eyes peeled for the full trailer when it hits later this afternoon.

After the individual success of the Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and (to a somewhat lesser degree) Hulk films, Marvel’s Avengers are currently assembling under director Joss Whedon’s watchful eye for the eagerly anticipated superhero team-up movie to end all superhero team-up movies – and we’ve got a couple of new photos from the set to share with you.

The first image shows Whedon deep in conversation with Scarlett Johansson, who is reprising her role as Black Widow from last year’s Iron Man 2. The second, meanwhile, is a far more dynamic shot featuring the stars of this year’s two Marvel blockbusters – Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger – with both Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans returning to their roles as the God of Thunder and super-soldier Steve Rogers respectively. Most noticeably in this photo, we get a good look at Evans’ new Captain America costume, which updates the design from the 1940s version seen in the First Avenger to something a little more 21st century.

Marvel have been on something of a roll with their movies over the last few years and have done a good job of laying some solid groundwork that will lead into The Avengers. With around seven months to go before the film reaches cinemas, let’s hope the wait is worthwhile.

Last night, the internet movie community went nuts for the brand new cover and subsequent images that Entertainment Weekly put out. Fortunately, someone (not sure of the original course but thanks to CinemaBlend for the full collection) decided to scan them all so that we can also share them all with you!

These new images appear inside the October issue of EW and give us some head-shot images of Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner and Scarlett Johansson, who play The Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow respectively.

We also get to see some set images which I’ve also placed below.
