Paramount Pictures has released a shorter version of The Avengers trailer that runs in theaters after the Captain America credits. While the full trailer contains more footage from the Joss Whedon helmed superhero team-up, this teaser does give us our first chance to get a real good look at Captain America and Thor’s new costumes. We also catch quick glimses of Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner and Jeremy Renner‘s Hawkeye. So what are you waiting for? Check out the trailer and screenshots after the break!

Lego made a huge license acquisition this evening, as BleedingCool reports that the company will produce sets for both Marvel and DC next year. The Marvel figures, including Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Loki and Black Widow, will launch next May in time for The Avengers. On the DC side of things, January 2012 will see the release of the DC Universe Super Heroes collection which includes; Batman, Robin, Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Bane, Bruce Wayne, Superman, Lex Luthor, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

For those of you at Comic-Con this week, Lego will be giving away an exclusive Green Lantern or Batman minifigure at their booth. For those that can’t attend, we’ve included the packaging below.

With the success of Thor, we figured it was only a matter of time before we heard about the future of a sequel for the God of Thunder. Deadline Hollywood reported yesterday that Marvel Studios has decided to move forward with Thor 2. While Chris Hemsworth will return, director Kenneth Branagh won’t. Branagh left on ‘mutual and amicable’ terms and might serve the project in a producer role. The writers for the seqeul have yet to be named and after the news broke,  Ashley Miller posted on Twitter about his and Zack Stentz future with the project saying:

For the record, we know jack-diddly about what’s happening with the thunder god right now. And if we did, we wouldn’t be able to say.

While the future for the creative forces behind the first film are in flux, I’m quite glad to hear we’ll be spending more time with the Asgardians. 2013 already looks to be a busy year for Marvel Studios, Shane Black‘s Iron Man 3 will open on May 3, 2013.
