New ‘Avengers’ Trailer Assembles the Awesome

Posted 9 years ago by Movies

It’s just a teaser—in the grandest sense of the word—but the new trailer for next year’s The Avengers movie has dropped. Perhaps the biggest highlight is the glimpse of this Hulk iteration. It’s too quick to make judgment but it certainly looks promising.

The whole Joss Whedon-directed film has a ton of promise, actually. These are all heroes we’ve come to know on the big screen in recent years. Rather than spending one-third of the film with exposition and origin stories, we can expect fistful after fistful of action.

Who wants to get in line now for the May 4 opening?

(Unintended hilarity for your third or fourth viewing of the trailer: at the 0:50 mark, pretend that’s a Scarlett Johansson fart leading to the explosion.)

She also has a Star Wars set (also reserved) that are equally worth checking out, as well as lots of individual prints.

As I’ve said before, I love a good mash-up. This Threadless submission by Steven Lefcourt is another brilliant example. He combined the two most iconic of Marvel’s Avengers with Finn and Jake from Pendleton Ward’s animated series Adventure Time. The character cross-over is brilliant but title combination makes it almost a magical mix. (The inclusion of Mjolnir in the title graphic is an extra special touch.)
