Roaming the net, I stumbled across a few things relating to the superhero team up of a lifetime, The Avengers; things that aren't quite groundbreaking, but should get you excited nonetheless. Check the "small print" below.

First up, according to Total Film, Tom Hiddleston was in London yesterday promoting The Avengers by introducing the recent theatrical trailer before a crowd of John Carter viewers. Tom commented saying, “I am very proud of the film, but I can’t take credit for the trailer myself. This is the work of the brilliant Joss Whedon.”


Second, thanks to LEGO.Wikia, a closeup on the minifigures based on Captain America and a "General" and "foot soldier" of Loki's mystery alien horde in Marvel's The Avengers has been revealed.




Third, despite having more than enough toys to collect from LEGO and Hasbro, among others, make way for tiny "Squinkies," modeled after The Avengers heroes. With photos of the packaging and designs, check it out.





Fourth; although we got a glimpse days ago, Tumblr user ladysephiroth has shared with us large photos of "Montana Meat" purchased from Europe, which features character promos from the movie on the packaging; one of which offered a new look at Tom Hiddleston's mischief-maker Loki.






And last; Wal-mart recently updated their official site with an Avengers hub, which unveiled this awesome downloadable wallpaper for the movie, although featuring promo art.




Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “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, & directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay 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 event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble on May 4, 2012. The film is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. In addition to "Marvel's The Avengers," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including "Iron Man 3" on May 3, 2013!; and “Thor 2” on November 15, 2013.

I would be more interested to know what Tom Hiddleston thinks of the title change for the UK version of the Avengers.

@cerrone6 apparently the new trailer is in front of John Carter. I have no idea about the posters. The poster at my local theatre is the one with just the Avengers "A".

MrReese@

a question i am looking very forward to being answered. that and why as soon as Thor gets to earth does he not go "Hey Eric! i remember you! where's jane? ok cool i'm going to go hang with her. you losers are way to serious"

ok that dialogue was a joke but you know what i mean. how is *finding jane foster* not one of his priorties after it was his main concern at the end of THOR.

i'm sure it will all be answered...

@OdinsBeard Thank u 4 answering bud! In the sense that I'm super curious about that.I hope it does get answered which I'm sure it will.Maybe they'll only mention her by name,as I recall she isn't in TA at all.But even so like u said it would be Thor's main concern given how the story ended there.Guess Loki is much more worthwhile. ;)

@ELgUaSoN - I think it's Loki. cape, staff, horns (rounded because it's supposed to be cute).

What is going to happen to us in the States when the whole movie is released abroad before it's released here? I am concerned...

@OdinsBeard..lol!! yea man i wonder about that too..maybe he was looking for jane..@ the end of thor..heimdall was telling thor that jane searches for him.. but loki popped up on earth..last thor knew loki was gone..

heimdall to thor:...loki is on midgard

thor:... what!!?..how!??..show me!!..i must get back there!!

and as far as dr selvage..thor may not have seen him before the mind control..or maybe thor will be the one to tell the others he is under loki's spell
