Footage Description:
Loki’s being locked in a giant prison cell completely lined with windows. Loki! In a holding cell! A SHIELD cell! Nick Fury is threatening Loki! Nick Fury says that if Loki tries to escape, the cell gets dropped from the bottom of the Helicarrier…30,000 feet straight down. Nick and Loki allude to the cage being made to hold the Hulk! Fury is steppin’ right up to Loki and he looks pissed! Loki’s looking at the camera knowing that Banner’s watching, poiinting out that they built this prison cell for the Hulk. Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill! Watching them on the monitors. Captain America’s watching this all on a helicarrier monitor. Bruce Banner on Loki: He really grows on you, doesn’t he. Loki sees the camera and knows that the Avengers are watching him. Fury says to Loki,“You talk about peace and you kill cuz it’s fun.” Loki looks even more menacing than he did in Thor…wow! We got to see Hawkeye loose an arrow. Renner also using guns. But he has a full quiver of arrows on his back. Tony Stark is doing a headcount of the Avengers: A couple of master assassins, a demigod, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend. RDJ is sizing up the team. In his Tony Stark way. FOOTAGE OF HULK! Roaring. Iron Man and somone battling. Maybe Thor? And the last scene of Tony Stark talking? It was to Loki! To Loki: “And you, big fella, managed to piss off every one of them.” Loki: “I have an army.” Stark: “We have a Hulk!”
UPDATE:Alternate detailed description via
Cinema Blend. And instead of referring to what was shown as another teaser trailer, Feige premiered what was an impressive 4 minute-plus clip.
The footage begins with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) entering a big round cage with glass walls. Behind him doors with pneumatic locks seal behind him and we see Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) walking over to a control panel. Fury says, “In case it’s unclear, if you try to escape, if you so much as scratch that glass…” Fury presses a button and a huge hole opens beneath the cell. Inside the hole you can see dark clouds and lightning – they are in the helicarrier. Nick Fury continues “that’s 30,000 feet straight down a stainless steel tube.” Never changing expression, Loki compliments Fury on his jail, calling it “an impressive cage” and recognizing that it wasn’t built for him. Loki stares into a security camera and we see the various members of the Avengers, including Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) watching him in various monitors. Fury responds that it’s built for something a lot stronger. Loki understands, saying “a mindless beast makes play he’s still a man,” referring to Hulk.
Fury then begins to admonish Loki for his crimes, accusing the villain of threatening the world with war, stealing incredible power and killing just for fun, adding that he’s “made [him] very desperate.” Loki then begins to talk about S.H.I.E.L.D’s plans for the tesseract, using it as a “warm glow for all of mankind” and says that it must burn Fury to be so close to real power. As he leaves, Fury says, “Let me know if the real power wants a magazine.” In the meeting room with all of the Avengers, Banner jokes, “He really grows on you.”
The scene then cuts to Fury in the meeting room at another point in the film, providing the details about the Avenger initiative. He talks about assembling a group of remarkable people ready to come together to fight battles that no one else could. A quick flashing montage show various battle scenes such as Thor hitting Captain America’s shield with Mjolnir and Iron Man and Cap engaged in hand to hand battle.
We then see Tony Stark pouring himself a drink behind a bar talking. “Let’s get a headcount,” he says. They have two assassins – quick clips of Hawkeye and Black Widow doing their thing – a demi-God – Thor rocking out with his hammer out – and a living legend who actually lives up to the legend - We see Cap looking at a locker with his new uniform – “and you, big fella, have managed to piss off all of them.” It’s revealed that Stark is talking to Loki, who responds to the billionaire’s threats by saying, “I have an army.” Stark quickly replies, “We have a Hulk.” The screen is filled with a huge, green face that lets out a giant roar. The title card shows up and the crowd goes nuts.
