I’ve been pretty lukewarm on Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers thus far, but things may be turning around with this latest spot, from the Super Bowl. While previous trailers made it seem like much of the cast just stood around making jokes, Marvel’s new spot shows off the most enticing action yet. This spot below is also double the length than what we got during the Super Bowl, featuring a little tease of our villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston) at the end.
We also get Mark Ruffalo as Hulk in some mid-air action, along with Robert Downey Jr. returning as Iron Man. Capping it off with a single shot including Scarlett Johannsson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), my anticipation has increased a bit more. Check it out below for the film also starring Samuel L. Jackson, Stellan Skarsgard and Cobie Smulders.
