SNEAK PEAK: First Promotional Poster For 'The Avengers'


With mega movies like The Avengers, it is never just about how many tickets you can sell, it is also about how much other stuff you can sell too. like toys, clothes, and yes... even food. Which is why the International Licencing Expo exists, so that MARVEL & Disney can shop the Avengers property around to interested business who will help them slap the Avengers logo on everything from cereal to soap. It was at the International Licencing Expo where a fan saw this cool poster. It shows all members of the elite Superhero team, with new accents and costumes.

Captain America has a clean new suit that doesn't quite evoke the WWII era like the Captain America: The First Avenger costume does. Iron Man has some interesting silver accents on his new suit and Hawkeye has no mask and looks just like Jeremy Renner(The actor who portrays the arrow slinger in the film). Though THOR and Black Widow appear much the same as we have seen them before, I am most struck by an Incredible Hulk that almost looks like Mark Ruffalo. Anyway, regardless of how cool this sales image is, it still isn't as cool as actually seeing the movie, which will be in theaters May 2012.
