    For some reason the ad plays and then restarts. No Avengers cheatsheet plays.

      ceggertsen Hey, there seems to have been a bug - let us know if you're able to play it now. If not, we've added a link in the article (just above the video) that directs you to the full video on Crackle. Sorry about that!

      ceggertsen Steven - the video has been a little "buggy" on our end, but it seems to be working alright now. If you're so inclined, try playing it again and let us know if it works this time. If not, we've included a link in the article so you can watch the full video on Crackle.

    This is a pretty cool article, especially for people who do not read Marvel comics; it was extremely informative and good at filling in gaps that movie goers would not be able to themselves. This movie is going to be totally sweet. This is going to be a great year for the superhero.

    Lets see if Nolan can contend with this film.

      AndrewT Seriously, apparently the "t" in Barton is silently and there is an invisible "t" in Coulson.
