The Joss Whedon directed project will unite some of the biggest names on the Marvel Comics roster, with Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr, Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Captain America's Chris Evans all sharing the screen.
Iron Man trio Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Clark Gregg will also appear, joining newcomers Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) in the comic book adaptation.
Director Whedon recently unveiled his Avengers cast at Comic-Con, saying: "I've had a dream all my life, and it was not this good. This cast is more than I could ever dream of working with, and I am going to blow it."
Paramount is releasing The Avengers on May 4, 2012.
