The movie trailer of the Avengers that was supposed to be shown after the credits of Captain America has leaked online in bootleg version, watch it below thanks to Rutube:
Plot: “And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when earth’s mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat…to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand. On that day, The Avengers were born. Avengers assemble!”
Oh my God! That teaser get me all pumped up for the Avengers movie: it’s going to be a hell of a movie with all those superheroes! :)
You may recognize Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).
The cast also includes Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson and Tom Hiddelston as Loki. :)
“Everything I had done [in the movie Thor] accorded with Joss’s idea of the character, too. I’m really so flattered that Marvel and Josh think I can take them all on. In Avengers, it’s going to be me versus seven of them, and I say ‘Good luck to them’, frankly.”
Actor Tom Hiddelston
What’s going to be Loki’s trick this time around? :)
The villain of the upcoming Avengers movie hasn’t announced yet. Could be Hulk under the influence of Loki, Thor’s evil brother. I also heard that the Skrulls could be involved. Well we’ll know sooner or later. ;-P

Earth’s Mightiest Heroes including Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Nick Fury and Agent Coulson assemble together on screen for the first time in the Avengers movie. :)
“[…]by the time ‘The Avengers’ comes in 2012, it’s not just a team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers. It’s three people – four including the Hulk; five including Nick Fury – who you’ve seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.”
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige
He doesn’t tell if Hulk will be friend or foe, but my bet is, like most fans, that Hulk will be the main villain in the Avengers movie: a real showdown opposing the Avengers (Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America) to Hulk!
If Hulk does show up, Edward Norton is likely to reprise his role. :)

Tony Stark / Iron Man: Who the hell are you?
Nick Fury: Nick Fury, Director of the SHIELD. I’m here to talk to you about the Avengers initiative.
General Thunder Ross: Stark! Tony Stark, Iron Man: I have heard you’re having an unsual problem… General Thunder Ross: You should talk.
The Avengers movie is set for a release on July 15, 2011. Really hope that Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role as Nick Fury: it would be great! :)

I went to watch Iron Man yesterday. I heard about a cameo of Samuel L. Jackson after then end credits of Iron Man. So I waited for those damned lengthy credits to finish.
And then fortunately there was indeed some additional footage with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. He comes to visit Tony Stark at home to recruit Iron Man for the Avengers Initiative, a group of superheroes that team up.
A brave moviegoer used its phone cam to allow those who didn’t wait to watch the cameo appearance:
