The new Avengers trailer has just been uploaded onto YouTube for all to see. The film is expected to be released May next year in the US, and following that will be the UK.
The new Avengers film sees Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America coming together with a host of other characters that have appeared in some of the previous films. Such as Black Widow who first was seen in Iron Man 2 and Hawkeye in Thor.
The film is written and directed by Joss Whedon and features an ensemble cast, which includes Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson.
The Avengers tells the story of Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., who recruits Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America to save the world from destruction.
Development of The Avengers began when Marvel Studios received a grant from Merrill Lynch in April 2005. After the success of the film Iron Man, Marvel announced that The Avengers would be released in July 2011. With the signing of Scarlett Johansson in March 2009, the film was pushed back for a 2012 release. Whedon was brought on board in April 2010 and rewrote the screenplay that was originally written by Zak Penn. Production began in April 2011 in Albuquerque New Mexico, before moving to Cleveland, Ohio, in August and New York City in September.
The Avengers is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2012 in the United States.
