UPDATE: Here’s a embed for the trailer:

The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson. The team is set to assemble on May 4, 2012.

There is a weird element of: they handed me one of the biggest movies of all time, and I’m making it up as I go.

Whedon also says that the team won’t be all friends, but that doesn’t hold true for the cast members: “I was like, well, if they hate each other, I guess we can use that,” he shrugs. “But they don’t.”

We’ve included all the images after the jump, but outside of Whedon’s quote, we won’t have much to go on until the issue debuts Friday.

Warner Bros. has released the first official photo of actress Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. The image was found over on the film’s official site and references Selina Kyle in the file name instead of the character’s alter-ego. As predicted, the suit looks similar to Darwyn Cooke’s design for the character. It will be interesting to see if the suit evolves past this, but this image proves that the look of the character is headed in the right direction.

The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Josh Pence, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, and Nestor Carbonell. The film is set to release on July 20, 2012.

Warner Bros. has released the first official image of Henry Cavill as Superman in Zack Synder‘s Man of Steel. The photo offers our first look at Kal-El in a suit that we may have seen some place else. Cavill certainly looks the part, although I’d like to see a brighter lit image next time around for a better look at the full costume. We’ve included the full, hi-res image below.

Set to release on June 14, 2013, Man of Steel stars Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Julia Ormond, Russell Crowe, Chris Meloni, Harry Lennix and Laurence Fishburne.  The film is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer, from a story by Goyer and Nolan

As we mentioned earlier in the week, Andrew Garfield made quite an impression before Sony’s The Amazing Spider-Man panel, but did the panel itself impress as much as the man who will be Peter Parker did? Hit the jump for all the details.

Here are just some of the information we got from both Friday’s panel and the press junket which included, Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, director Marc Webb, and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmac:

• There aren’t any plans to fold Spider-Man into the current on-goings of The Avengers and the film series.
• Garfield said that he read a lot of Brian Michael Bendis‘ Ultimate Spider-Man and the movie reflects some of the aspects of that series. The actor particularly mentioned how he enjoyed how skinny Peter was drawn in the book and how he wanted to bring that look to the film.
• Stone said that some of her personality bleed over into her take on Gwen Stacey.
• Spider-Man will be seen as a villain by some as he begins to webswing.
• Peter will make his mechanical web shooters and they’ll have something to do with OSCORP where both Gwen and Dr. Curt Connors work.
• Speaking of  Dr. Connors, the Lizard will look more like Killer Croc than the Lizard we’ve come to know. From the footage shown, the monster emerged from the sewers via a toilet in a women’s bathroom.

I’m incredibly excited to see what Webb and the rest of the crew have planned for us. Below, we’ve included the domestic and international teaser posters for the film. Based on these details, are you interested in The Amazing Spider-Man?

We already know The Avengers sat out San Diego Comic-Con this year, but that didn’t stop Marvel from releasing some concept art from the film. Seven special edition posters were given away throughout the course of the convention, interlocking to create one epic banner, worthy of the movie itself. After the jump, we’ve got a look at each of the individual posters, plus a closer look at Captain America’s new suit for the Avengers and what Mark Ruffalo will look like as the Hulk.

Thanks to Marvel for each of the concept art photos and to SuperheroHype for the photos of Cap’s new suit.

You have no idea, you have no idea how much this means to me. I’ve always wanted to come here as a fan and this is my first time, so here I am, as a fan.

I just wanted to say a couple of things. I’m Andrew Garfield and I’m going to be here to introduce this panel, this Amazing Spider-Man panel. Stan Lee says that the reason why Spidey is so popular is because all of us can relate to him and I agree.

I needed Spidey in my life when I was a kid and he gave me hope. In every comic I read, he was living out my, and every skinny boy’s fantasy by being stronger. Of being free of the body I was born into and that swinging sensation of flight and upon receiving his power, unlike most who would become corrupted, he used it for good. And I think we all wished we had the courage to stick up for ourselves more, to stick up for our loved ones more, or even a stranger you see being mistreated.

Peter Parker has inspired me feel stronger. He made me, Andrew, braver. He reassured me that by doing the right thing, it’s worth it. It’s worth the struggle, it’s worth the pain, it’s worth even the tears, the bruises and the blood. And I wouldn’t be able to stand here in front of you guys right now without feeling that Spider-Man was here with me, with his reassuring hand on my shoulder making sure I don’t fall over and concuss myself. And He has inspired countless people: girls, boys, men, women, all of us.

And he’s saved lives. And he’s saved my life.

And I owe webhead a lot. I owe Stan the Man a lot. And I am humbled to be here, like you do not know, to share the work we have done with all of you. And this is my first Comic-Con.

And this is definitely the coolest moment of my life and thank you for being here and sharing it with me.

In what is easily one of the best moments of San Diego Comic-Con 2011, actor Andrew Garfield took the floor in Hall H before the Amazing Spider-Man panel to talk about just how much playing Spider-Man has meant to him. We’ll have details on the panel soon, but check out the video of Garfield’s speech to understand how humbled this young man truly is.

While Marvel Studios and Disney might not have a huge presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year, that hasn’t stopped them from launching the official website and releasing the first teaser poster for the film. We shouldn’t have to wait much longer, as Disney plans to release plenty of details during its D23 Expo at the end of August. We’ve included the poster below.

The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, and Samuel L. Jackson. The team is set to assemble on May 4, 2012.
