With the release of Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’ mere weeks away, fans are chomping at the bit for anything new about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Well, Marvel isn’t one for disappointing fans (unless you count last year’s ‘Fear Itself’ event, but that’s a story for another time). We’re here to talk about ‘Avengers’ and so we shall…

Marvel released a new clip via MTV that shows Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) squaring off against Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and comparing the size of their… er… forces. As always, Tony Stark’s arrogant banter is spot-on and is the reason that Iron Man has gone from being a b-list Marvel hero to a headliner. Stark and Loki discuss armies, the Hulk, and what will happen if Loki should actually defeat the newly-founded Avengers team.

Enjoy…

Jackson (Nick Fury), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and will hit a theater near you on May 4, 2012.
