New 'Avengers' photos

New 'Avengers' photos - Meet 'The Avengers' with These New Character Banners. It's drawing near, the payoff that we've been told we've been waiting for since the release of "Iron Man" in 2008. Next May brings with it "The Avengers," the Joss Whedon-directed culmination of all things Marvel at the movies.

Under the S.H.I.E.L.D., um, shield and on these banners (no relation), we've got Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Eric Ba-- Edward Nor-- Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor/Thor, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Tom Hiddleston as Loki (boo!), Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow ready to fight off the nefarious schemes of Loki (BOO!).

Ahem. You get the idea. "The Avengers" hits theaters on May 4, 2012.
