‘The Avengers’ Dozens of New Stills Feature Loki, Quinjet, Helicarrier and More
Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios recently provided us with production notes for their upcoming release, Marvel’s The Avengers. In addition to plenty of information on the actual production of the film, the document was filled with images, many of which we do not recall seeing before (apologies in advance for any not so new stills). Unfortunately the images themselves are a bit small, but the amount of eye candy produced is still pretty huge.
The stills pretty much cover all of The Avengers, highlighting Hulk and Tony Stark / Iron Man but also give us some nice images of Loki as well as the hardware behind the crimefighting squad, namely the Quinjet and the Helicarrier, both inside as well as out.
In Marvel’s The Avengers, the world’s greatest Super Heroes assemble when Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) join S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) to protect the world from the dangerous and powerful villain, Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
Marvel’s The Avengers will be released in the U.S. in 3D and IMAX 3D on May 4, 2012.

‘The Avengers’ ‘Isolated’ Ad Shines Spotlight on Internal Struggles
As it turns out, assembling the world’s greatest superheroes together is the easy part — the challenge is making them play nicely with each other.
We have managed to come across a new 30 second television spot for Marvel’s The Avengers titled ‘Isolated.’ The ad features Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) talking about how each of the heroes are ‘isolated’ and ‘unbalanced,’ but when combined, ‘can become something more.’ It then quickly cuts to the group assembling for the first time, much to the apparent dismay of billionaire philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.).
Although the film will debut in theaters nationwide on May 4, the cast of The Avengers will next assemble for the red carpet world premiere Wednesday, April 11th at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT. The event will be streamed live online. For more information on how you can watch the world premiere red carpet, click here.
