The trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” is here, and it kicks all kind of arse.  It looks remarkable, and just the thought of such iconic Marvel characters on screen at the same time is the stuff that fanboy dreams are made of.

Which is why it’s somewhat ironic that the poster sucks so much (which is not everyone’s opinion).  I get that there was probably some clause in their contract that said that they had to show everyone’s faces, but it could have been done a bit more artfully.

By the way, what is that huge thing chasing Iron Man at the end?  It almost looks like the aliens from “Battleship” did a stop-over.
