Two fun new clips from Marvel’s The Avengers were recently released. Just last night is this excellent encounter between Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) who is imprisoned at S.H.E.I.L.D. HQ.

While I was on board the Disney Fantasy, I saw a terrific 3D trailer for The Avengers. Afterward, I was the most excited I’ve ever been to see the movie. The 3D was fantastic, the villains actually seem capable of putting our heroes in peril and the heroes still manage to look and act cool. Everything I want in a superhero movie.

To help with that Marvel has released a new featurette that includes interviews director Joss Whedon and some of the film’s producers.
“What we’re doing here is completely unprecedented,” Whedon says. “Marvel is taking the characters that they’re putting in their movies and bringing them all together in a team franchise movie experience, which really has never been done before.”
