The extended commercial for The Avengers contains plenty of awesome new footage, like Shields helipad, the Hulk, etc. Really, I’m getting the sense that 2012′s summer movie season could be as incredible as 2011′s was completely forgettable.

If you checked out of last night’s Super Bowl halftime show, because, you know, Madonna, then you have missed MIA flipping off the crowd.
