10 questions we have after watching the new 'Avengers' trailer
Can Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk or Black Widow answer them?

Will Black Widow actually speak and does it matter?
Nothing like having four-time Golden Globe-nominated actress to play one of the sexiest heroines in the Marvel Universe only to give her nothing to say. Scarlett Johnasson is already playing Natasha Romanoff in an easy American accent (unlike the character's native Russian tongue), but we're worried she won't have much to say without her fists. With Colbie Smulders rumored to steal the show as Nick Fury's second in command, Maria Hill, what role does she even have as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

Hey, people. We fixed! Relax. The point is it's not a good New Mexico/Cleveland for Switzerland/Austria/Germany!

October 11, 2011 at 5:05PM EST Reply to CommentIt's obviously a scene that takes place in Germany. Polizei is German for police and the sign on bus to the left seems to say Bahnhof (which means train station in German).

October 11, 2011 at 5:06PM EST Reply to CommentIt even has the end of the word Bahnhof on the bus!

October 11, 2011 at 5:09PM EST Reply to CommentIt's "Polizei" on the car and "Bahnhof" on the bus, clearly supposed to be a german speaking country. With Germany having different looking police cars, its probably Austria.
McG Correction, looks a lot like a swiss police car.

October 11, 2011 at 5:13PM EST Reply to CommentMy question about the Avengers trailer, where is John Steed and Emma Peel???
October 11, 2011 at 5:45PM EST Reply to CommentYikes! Looks like a hot mess, really. And I preferred Loki/Gabriel from Supernatural.

October 11, 2011 at 10:37PM EST Reply to CommentI, for one, can say that the production dropped the ball because that's not the way police cars look in Germany or the buses they use (I was there recently).
For a 220 million budget, a little more accuracy won't hurt. Try harder, Marvel.
matt Reply to comment...they are swiss cars and buses just cause it is written in german doesnt make it in germany

Yes, because the shape of the taxi/bus is wrong that's tainted the whole film for me ...
Anyway, looking forward to this, I see a Marvel Cinematic Universe marathon in my not to distant future :D
And - Karma points for Buddha747 for dropping that spoiler there ...
alex d I don`t know about you, but it could, when I watched x men first class and magneto goes to argentina, he goes to a mountainside village, but they say it`s villa gessel wich is a beach town. I live in argentina, so when that happend everyone laughed, and the movie was ruined

October 12, 2011 at 12:06AM EST Reply to CommentMy question from this trailer is.... what is the nefarious weapon that causes all those cars to explode, but nothing else. Will the Avengers be facing off against an enemy with car 'sploding powers?

October 12, 2011 at 6:07AM EST Reply to CommentWohoo!! Scarlett Johansson looks like a strong, empowered and sexy Black Widow. I love how she leaps up onto some henchman's shoulders with her legs wrapped around his face, thrusting him down against the ground. Hahah.. freakin’ fantastic, can’t wait! Man! I feel like a woman!

October 12, 2011 at 3:23PM EST Reply to CommentNote also that the bus says (or seems to say) Bahnhof, i.e., train station in German.
Johanna
October 12, 2011 at 3:37PM EST Reply to CommentWith the Black Widow sporting a Peel-style black catsuit, is it too much to hope that Hawkeye will don a Steed-style bowler hat at some point in the proceedings? That would be the ultimate in-joke.

October 12, 2011 at 8:00PM EST Reply to CommentAs this is a Joss Whedon film, i have a feeling Black Widow will have more to say than any of the male characters.

October 13, 2011 at 3:49AM EST Reply to CommentYou have two different views of downtown in those pics, one from the Hudson and another from the Bay facing Battery Park. That is why you can't see One World Trade. You are confusing two similar looking buildings as markers but they are about a mile apart.
Rob
October 13, 2011 at 11:21AM EST Reply to CommentThose are two different views/buildings smartypants. On the left, you are looking at at the souther tip looking west (to Battery Park City). The building with the arrow on the left is the new Goldman Sachs HQ. The shot from the trailer is the southern tip of Manhattan, looking east. The arrow on the left this time is pointing to 17 State Street (looks like the "?" arrow is pointing above the Staten Island Ferry. The road all the way on the left with all the lights is the West Side Highway, and if you look closely just to the right of that, looks like you can make out the under construction Freedom Tower (not sure, since its dark). By your logic, they also made the entire World Financial Center (all those buildings with different shaped green tops) disappear.

October 13, 2011 at 12:12PM EST Reply to Comment11. Is Scarlett Johansson naked under that costume or wearing a skimpy bra & g-string?

October 15, 2011 at 9:21PM EST Reply to CommentThis was filmed in cleveland, its a german beer garden setup outside of a gala which loki hen destroys.
Loki
January 12, 2012 at 9:36PM EST Reply to CommentI'm thinking maybe Thor might be protecting Loki from the Avengers because he might not know he's all bad yet, ya know what I mean?
