Yesterday was a pretty big day for some of next year’s biggest and most anticipated films. We got two great teaser trailers for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, the first trailer for Wrath of the Titans, an exclusive image from Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, as well as the first full-length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (which was, expectedly, epic).

And last but by far not least, we also got some new footage from Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers in the film’s German trailer, and following on from that, Marvel have put out two awesome new images that we’ve got to share with you, via ComingSoon.net.

Given what director and co-writer Joss Whedon did with a modest budget of just under $40m. on Serenity, one of my favourite action sci-fi films of all time, I cannot wait to see his vision for The Avengers with its budget north of $200m. Along with everybody else, I’m expecting it to be one of the best films we can look forward to next year.

As you’re no doubt all aware, the film will be bringing together all of our favourite characters from the Marvel Universe that we’ve been seeing in all of their films in recent years, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr., with Paul Bettany returning as JARVIS), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlet Johansson), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), and Loki (Tom Hiddleston).

We got the incredible first trailer for The Avengers back in October, and have seen plenty of other great stuff from the film before and after, all of which you can catch up on right here. The film will be hitting the big screen on 27th April next year, so if you haven’t already committed the date to memory, I highly recommend you do so now. Until then, here are the great new stills to feast your eyes on. As usual, click to enlarge.
