"The Avengers" trailer premieres to the delight of comic book fans
(CBS) "The Avengers" have assembled.
We may have to wait until next year to see the stories of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Nick Fury unfold on the big screen, but Marvel gave audiences a taste of the Joss Whedon project by delivering the first trailer. (Well, that is, if you don't count the "secret" footage found at the end of "Captain America: The First Avenger.")
Pictures: Robert Downey Jr.
Pictures: Chris Evans and the "Captain America" premiere

It seems fanboys and fangirls won't be let down by geek hero Joss Whedon, who created "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly." While we still don't know much about the movie, we can count on lots of quippy banter -- perfect for Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man character -- and what looks like a showdown between Captain America (played by Chris Evans) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth).
We may finally know the answer to the age old question: Which is stronger, the shield or the hammer? More importantly, can the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) smash both?If you want to see the HD version of the trailer, head over the Marvel's iTunes trailers page.
