"The Avengers" Assemble In International Banners

Sneak Peek the new international banners supporting Marvel Studios upcoming superhero comic book adaptation "The Avengers".

"The Avengers" will be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures in 2012.

The film is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name, created in the 1960's by writer Stan Lee and illustrator Jack Kirby.

In the movie, 'Nick Fury', director of the peacekeeping organization 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' recruits 'Iron Man', 'Hulk', 'Thor' and 'Captain America' to save the world from destruction.

Written and directed by Joss Whedon ("Buffy The Vampire Slayer") , "The Avengers" stars Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Cobie Smulders.

"There's a 'thunder god'," said Whedon, "there's a green 'ID' giant rage monster, there's 'Captain America' from the 1940s and there's 'Tony Stark' (aka 'Iron Man') who definitely doesn't get along with anybody.

"Ultimately these people don't belong together and the whole movie is about finding yourself from community.

"And finding that you not only belong together but you need each other, very much. Obviously this will be expressed through 'punching'.. .but it will be the heart of the film."

As part of the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe', "The Avengers" crosses over several Marvel superhero films including "Iron Man" (2008), "The Incredible Hulk' (2008), "Iron Man 2" (2010), "Thor' (2011) and "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011) .

Fans can also get a sneak peek of the film in Marvel Studios Blu-ray/DVD "Captain America: The First Avenger":

The two-disc combo pack includes a high definition presentation of the film, plus a standard definition presentation with a digital copy.

"Captain America: The First Avenger" also includes over an hour of behind-the-scenes bonus material, with an original Marvel short film, an 'exclusive sneak peek' into "The Avengers" feature', six featurettes that go behind-the-scenes of the filmmaking process, deleted scenes and a whole lot more.

The Avengers is scheduled to be released in North America, May 4, 2012.
