In July, Marvel Studios attached a teaser of their ultimate superhero flick, The Avengers, after Captain America: The First Avenger. It wasn’t much, just a barrage of quick shots of the team, Nick Fury and SHIELD, and Loki.

Today, we finally get a nice look at actual footage from one of next summer’s most anticipated releases, courtesy of Apple. Check out iTunes Movie Trailers for the exclusive first trailer to The Avengers, and let us know in the comments what you think! (Now updated with embeddable video after the break!)

Sure it may be a bit campy, but the story works, especially in a movie like Real Steel. Which is why I was completely surprised at how much I actually liked the film. [Read more...]

Walt Disney Studios has provided a press release for its upcoming D23 Expo, which showcases upcoming projects from the company. It was assumed that the reason Disney and its subsidiaries Pixar and Marvel had such a small presence at Comic-Con was because they were saving up for their own convention.
