The special airs on Tuesday, March 18th at 8pm and will feature footage from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the The Avengers sequel, which will have only been filming a few days by that point. Will it be enough to show more than a few random set videos of the cast? Well, maybe. It didn't take James Gunn very long to whip up an awesome 'Guardians' teaser for Comic-Con last summer, so hopefully Joss Whedon can do the same.
The special will also dig a little deeper into Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and preview future episodes, but.......really....nobody will be tuning in for that, will they?
The full press release is below.
