The first official trailer for The Avengers (2012) was released this week and it certainly left an impression.
Since Samuel L Jackson's cameo in the post-credits scene in Iron Man (2008) anticipation has been building for a film that many though would never be released. Slowly the pieces have fallen into place, particularly with the release of Captain America and Thor this year. If you can wrap your head around where the film's fall in to chronology you may understand how Marvel has built towards this film.
Captain America (2011) > Iron Man (2008) > Iron Man 2 (2010) > Thor (2011) > The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Overall, the trailer looks great. Joss Whedon clearly understands the relationships within the team, the tensions betweens Iron Man and Captain America and so on. While I can't say I was happy with another recast for Bruce Banner/Hulk the new take (whilst we are only offered a glimpse) looks fantastic. Mark Ruffalo has stated over and over that they have taken his features and bulked them out and stretched them to make the Hulk. You can really see it in this brief glimpse. I am hoping that his design remains closer to that of The Incredible Hulk (2008) rather than Hulk (2003), but also that Ruffalo's mocap performance does the character justice.
