Why is it every other country gets the best versions of our biggest movies? In the case of The Avengers that's been especially true, and this latest Japanese one is no different. Not only do we get tons of new footage, including a better look at Loki's army of alien warriors, but a character who was assumed to not be in the film at all makes a surprise cameo. Keep your eyes peeled during the beginning moments. Otherwise it's more of superheroes squabbling and looking unbelievably cool while doing it.
One thing worth noting is the increased presence of Cobie Smulders as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill in this trailer, indicating she may be more of factor in the film than expected. Hill is too important of a character to simply stand in the background looking pretty.
The Joss Whedon written and directed film opens on May 4th....
