A new clip from The Avengers has been released today. You can watch it here below.

What this is basically is an extended version of the “Head Count” TV spot with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), out of the Iron Man armor, educating vengeful fallen god Loki (Tom Hiddleston) about the impressive roster of superheroes that have been assembled to oppose him. I love watching characters from two different comic book movies meeting up on screen while being played by the same actors. The Avengers is the ultimate Marvel Universe movie and I couldn’t be more stoked for its release.

I also love that director Joss Whedon was finally given the reins of a major studio summer blockbuster instead of being an uncredited or kicked around screenwriter on one. If you need some proof of the dues Whedon had to pay to get where is he now ,then I highly recommend you read this article over at The Playlist.

The Avengers opens on May 4, 2012.
