THE AVENGERS UPDATE: Behind The Scenes Pics, Video -And- The Black Widow Will Be In IRON MAN 3?

I really get into behind the scenes (BTS) movie materials and for an anticipated movie that's not released yet, the effect is compounded. THE AVENGERS is no exception to the rule. I'm sure the blu-ray featurettes are going to kick some serious butt too.

Have a look at some new BTS photos and the cool featurette discussing how all of these diverse Marvel characters who would not get along at all under normal circumstances get together.

Here's the official 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.

Word on the street is that The Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson will be back for IRON MAN 3 (May 3, 2013) which is being directed and co-written by Shane Black (gotta love the action infused in this guys blood!).

Marvel has had verbiage written into the contracts of their lead talent that has them taking ensemble, solo and supporting roles in various upcoming movies and so Marvel probably has her fulfilling one of those supporting roles in IRON MAN 3. After all, she added a good dimension in IRON MAN 2 so here's hoping for more of the same. I can see some sparks flying if Widow was to get closer to Stark at the behest of Potts.

NOTE: If you live in North Carolina you have an opportunity to become part of IRON MAN 3! Most of the supporting and day actors along with the extras, photo doubles and stand-ins will be cast in your state. You can read more details and apply through this link.

Now, attention Mr. Black. IRON MAN 3 needs to be in stereoscopic 3D!!
