Yesterday Marvel released the official trailer for The Avengers.
The Avengers is the movie event of 2012. As you can see in the trailer it looks like there is going to be lots of action (and humour… love that Tony Stark).
This new trailer also gives us a good idea what the characters are going to look like. Iron Man looks virtually the same, but Thor, Cap and Black Widow have an updated look.
The thing I like about this video is it generates interest for the Avengers movie, but doesn’t give us a clue to what the story is. Some trailers give away the majority of the story (and sometimes the final scene) but this one still has some mystery to it.
One point I have to ponder with the trailer is the scene where Thor looks like he’s attacking Captain America, and Cap is blocking with his shield. I am interested… what is happening in that scene?
We know that Loki is a villain in The Avengers, but who else is going to join Loki to fight against Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?
There is not doubt we will get to see lots of trailers before the May 4/2012 release date, I know I am excited. What do you think about the trailer? Let us know in the comments below.
I remember when Marvel first announced it’s foray into movies… At one point Marvel was the most profitable company in America and financial critics said they were making a mistake getting into movies. They had a comfy position just collecting fees while Hollywood studios took all the risk. But they hammered out a great deal with banks and proved that having insight into their own property would pay off. Their movies have been consistent if nothing else and consistency in Hollywood is bankable. 10 years later, the Avengers movie has finally arrived and I realize… crap! Where did the time go??
Thank god they changed Black Widow’s hair. That wig in Iron Man 2 was terrible.
Although it’s going to be awesome and a huge blockbuster, I wonder which will come out on top. This, or Dark Knight Rises?
It will be a tough call, but I don’t think Dark Knight Rises will do as well as the previous version. Dark Knight was one of those right place/right time things. The passing of Heath Ledger and the popularity of the Joker had a lot to do with the success.
Avengers will do well because there are people who saw Iron Man but missed Captain America and Thor. There are 4 films that will lead their fans to the Avengers.
I would put my money on Avengers being the big movie next summer… Well until G.I. Joe Retaliation comes to theatres… June 29/2012
