The following bootlegged teaser (via Bleeding Cool) for Marvel’s superhero team-up The Avengers appears following the credits for this coming weekend’s release of Captain America: The First Avenger, but as the Internet has proven time and again releasing these things officially online would always be the better route if your intention is to present footage from your upcoming films in the best possible light.
Nevertheless, fans will take what they can get as the following video features Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark (aka Iron Man), Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and even Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, but unfortunately not in his Hulk-ed out glory.
Should the trailer be removed, which is highly likely, I’ve also included Coming Soon‘s description of it below the video.
The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and will hit theaters on May 4, 2012.
Steve Rogers is in an empty gym throwing haymakers at a punching bag before finally punching it so hard it breaks off it’s chains and (I believe) through the wall. Nick Fury walks in and says something along the lines of “getting ready for the enemy?” and Steve goes “Well it’s been awhile.” Then we see quick snippets of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, Loki being escorted in “handcuffs” by SHIELD. After that it’s a long shot of Thor rocking a new outfit reminiscent of his Ultimate garb (sleeveless) in front of some roundtable of SHIELD. Then basically after that it’s shots of action scenes with each character – Iron Man in what still looks to be his Mark 7 outfit getting ready to fire his repulsor beams, Cap in some sorta battlefield, Black Widow doing some flips and throwing darts, Hawkeye shooting an arrow, Thor summoning lightening, a shot of Bruce Banner taking off his glasses. Then the trailer closes off with really quick action shots. Couldn’t tell what they were, no actual clue as to who the villain(s) is/as we only see Loki. You don’t really see a shot of all of them together though I could be wrong about that and missed it.
