THE AVENGERS Footage to play after CAPTAIN AMERICA - Detailed Description
According to several reports popping up on twitter and on the web the trailer and first footage for Joss Whedon's The Avengers will play after Captain America: The First Avengers. Apprently this footage will serve as the Marvel post-credits surprise that they attach at the end of all their films. This makes seeing Captain America that much more exciting! Paramount and Marvel recently screened Captain America to several US military personnel today, and they got over a minute of badass Avengers footage. A description of the scene even made it's way online, if you don't want to know what happens then I suggest you don't read ahead because it contains Spoilers.
I think showing a preview for The Avengers after the credits roll for Captain America is an awesome idea! After all it's what all of these films have been leading up to... so cool! Here's the the full spoilerish description of The Avengers footage shown after the credits rolled:
A new scene opened with Cap awaking in the present day. I think we all know what happens here, Cap starts to get confused and runs out in NYC where he meets NIck Fury. Now on to the post-credits scene.
It starts out with Captain America punching a punching bag until it flies off into a wall, and then enters Nick Fury. They briefly talked about a mission and that they needed to get ready, but they never explained what the mission was. And then it happened. As the music kicked in, scenes of SHEILD, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), & Loki were shown!! It showed a hell of a lot of action! Thor had a brief costume change, just no chainmail under armor and his hair was a bit longer. Iron Man was shown in what looked like the Mark VI or maybe a new Mark VII armor!! I don't recall who was fighting who or what, but it was a lot of kick-assery!! And at the end of it all, Thor threw Minjor and then it flashed... The Avengers!
Well at first there was the Avengers themselves in what looked to be a meeting room, Thor was leaning against wall with arms crossed and Cap was sitting down, as Tony Stark and Nick Fury were most likely talking about the mission that was discussed earlier with Cap and Fury and also a shot of Bruce Banner. The action scenes were confusing but from what I remember, scenes with Iron Man flying in the air, and Hawkeye shooting an arrow, along with some explosions and Black Widow kicking ass. As for Captain America only his shield and part of his Costume was shown, so I wasn't able to tell what suit he appeared in. The last part was in a forest, Iron Man and Thor fighting, but I couldn't tell if it was against each other or someone or something else. And then, Thor threw his hammer, similar to the way he threw it at the Frost Giants, and then flashed "The Avengers, coming May 2012"
What do you think of the footage?
