SEE: New Image From Marvel's THE AVENGERS

Fresh from an Empire Magazine scan comes the latest official image from the sure fire blockbuster THE AVENGERS.

I like that we get a good comparison shot between Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Captain America (Chris Evans). Got to say that Thor and Iron Man are going to win the costume pageant for this movie, but I like the utilitarian feeling from these three. They look like they GET THINGS DONE.

Here's the storyline:
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”–the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble in summer 2012. In “Marvel’s The Avengers,” superheroes team up to pull the world back from the brink of disaster when an unexpected enemy threatens global security.

THE AVENGERS open on May 4. What a year for comic book adaptations!
