So What was in The Avengers footage at the D23 Expo?


This weekend, the Disney D23 Expo revealed some footage of The Avengers. Many fans were excited about this footage and blogged about it like crazy people. The sad part is, there's no visual scenes of the footage only a description.

However, it's better than nothing. So here's what was shown this weekend:
Loki's being held in an isolated chamber and he slowly looks around to check out its construction.
Fury locks him in and says, "In case it's not clear, you try to escape, you so much as scratch the glass -- 30,000 feet straight down to a steel trap." Fury pushes a button on a keypad that opens a hole in the floor that reveals clouds and air. They seem to be hovering in the Helicarrier. 

Loki replies, "It's an impressive cage, but not built for me." Fury says, "You're right; it's built for something a lot stronger (a heavy handed nod to it being the chamber they'll use to contain the Hulk)." Judging from their conversation, it sounded like Loki was taunting Fury over the fact that he lost the Cosmic Cube. If you saw the post-credits scene in Thor [spoilers], you know Loki is aware of its power and what it's capable of. 

The whole time Fury and Loki are talking, the entire Avengers team is listening in a conference room. They show Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and Captain America (Chris Evans) all sitting at a table. Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) is out in another office watching on two flat screen monitors. After Loki's done speaking, Bruce, who's wearing a purple shirt and glasses nervously says, "He really grows on you doesn't he?" 

There's an action montage that features various members of the team fighting -- each other! There's a low angle shot of Iron Man and Thor grabbing fists as if they're trying to overpower each other. Then there's a shot of Captain America crouched down with his shield covering his body, while Thor is coming down on him with his hammer. 

Next, Nick Fury is sitting at a table telling everyone about how an I.D. was sent out to bring together a team of remarkable people who could defend the world when they couldn't defend themselves.
The final scene features Tony Stark standing behind a bar (at what appears to be his house) talking to someone. He says, "Let's do roll call; we have two highly trained assassins (shows Black Widow and Hawkeye standing next to each other shooting bullets and arrows), a demigod (shows Thor) and a living legend (shows Captain America)." It cuts to Loki standing and looking at him as he replies, "I have an army." Tony says, "We have the Hulk." At that moment, a close-up of the Hulk's face flashes across the screen as he yells at the top of his lungs!
Sounds exciting, right? I hope to get actual footage soon.
