Marvel has a lot riding on the success of their latest comic book film adaptation, The Avengers – not in terms of box office results (we all know it’ll make loads of cash), but rather in the execution of the story and its characters. They have done a great job with Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor and Captain America in their own individual films, but how well will they work together in one film? Can it ever live up to the hype surrounding it, considering that this is the film that all the other Marvel films (excluding the X-Men films) have been building up to since 2008?
The latest trailer for The Avengers definitely shows us that it has the potential to deliver in these areas, as well as the action and special effects aspects of a typical blockbuster. Most of all, it looks like it’ll be incredibly fun to watch, which is probably just as important as getting the story and characters right. Hit the jump to check it out!
