Sleek New Character Banners for Marvel's 'The Avengers' Assembled!

Avengers Assemble! Marvel has debuted the first banner, which looks much more like a billboard, for The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon. On this banner, debuted by Yahoo (via ComingSoon), we get to see Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner (with a tinge of green), Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man and last but not least, Chris Hemsworth as Thor. These are new shots from each of them, and I expect we'll see individual posters soon (along with the other missing members), but for now this is an awesome banner to kick off their winter marketing, and I'm excited to see more. Bring it on!

Update: Here's the second banner, as debuted on Moviefone. Looks like everyone! Sam Jackson as Nick Fury, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, plus Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), 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. The star studded cast includes Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Cobie Smulders, as well as Tom Hiddleston and Stellan Skarsgård who are reprising their respective roles as Loki and Professor Selvig from Thor. Marvel's The Avengers hits theaters everywhere May 4th, 2012.

Maybe they're renaming the Hulk 'Blue Steel'?
Big Boss

Sam Jack is lookin' bad-ass right there!

What the hell is wrong with Chris Hemsworths face?
- tinfs21
  
  Oh, come on, at least he doesn't look like a harlequin hero as in that awful photoset from EW.
Voice of Reason

Sharp, i like it. Im also OK with them holding off on revealing much of the Hulk, when we see it, its gonna blow our minds—but until then they should really work on making Ruffalo look less stupid. Oh, yes, and wonderful framing of Scarlets ass.

Make sure to carefully pose and crop that black widow photo so we get a good shot of Johannsen's ass, huh? You marketing guys know us so well!

Wow, they still make Banner look like a douche, and what is up with Cap's costume, too cartoon BLUE! I really have faith in this and LOVE Joss and everyone involved..but I am not digging Cap's costume and everything I've seen of banner so far

  He...didn't work out for 70 years? Maybe being in an ice coma deflates you.

  Yeah, it does'nt even look like him... looks like a model for when a web site is trying to sell a costume... maybe he could'nt make the photo shoot so they just got some guy to conveniently cover his mouth so we could'nt tell.

With all the marketing produced, it's going to make more sense that the Hulk is angry as fahk because all of his(Ruffalo) material looks kind of lame. I wouldn't have had his face green with that cool expression - Just leave his eyes green and we're good.

why does loki have the avenger logo on him.....
- Mer
  
  Because he's their prime adversary, and a very large part of the "Avengers" film?

Scarlett, Scarlett, Scarlett...good lord.
Luke Porter

Cap's eyes look dead and his skin looks waxy. Everyone else looks good.
grapefruit

Looking good
Brandon Carey

I like all of them minus Cap's.... he's framed too low in comparison to the others, and the angle makes him look like he's really thin.
Mer

These are boring; dude, art students on tumblr came up with better teasers on whimsy. These look cheap.

can we get a better looks at Scarlett Johansson's ass... i mean, these are really cool!!
Leinergroove

crap... those posters look pretty lame. Thor is all wrong (what's with the head!), Captain America's suit is awful, we haven't seen Hulk yet... ah... the horroooooor!
- Rchin1
  
  I like to see you do better dickhead

Meh.
Kyle Robinson

Scarlett looks short and stumpy.

These are almost as lazy as the X-Men First Class posters http://www.firstshowing.net/2011/dont-look-two-new-x-men-first-class-posters-to-ruin-your-day/
darthstu

Yeah, they're pretty ordinary. Don't think the concept or compositions really work very well. We're all already going to see your movie - at least once, so why don't you put some effort in and give us something COOL and MEMORABLE.
Spider

In an age where we've pretty much seen it all, these are not bad!
Merc

Fingers off the triggers, agents....
Merc

And all of the costumes don't look right, as if they are all matte and are missing their shine. Does anyone else see it?
CrusaderG

too clean. needs roughing up so doesnt look so camp.
- Staatz
  
  Agreed, what happened to the Captain America aesthetic?

Could be better. I've seen better fan art.
ur_baby's_daddy

its ok. don't know why they are trying to hide the hulk so much. Can't see how they will do way better than the previous versions, but I'd love to be blown away.
esophus

Caps face is covered...booooo
