Marvel’s ‘Avengers Assemble’ exclusive clip

Marvel's 'Avengers Assemble' is only a few short weeks away and we have an exclusive clip from the upcoming superhero team-up.

It's a longer version of the scene between Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) and Tom Hiddleston's villainous Loki that we first saw in the trailers, and sees the pair verbally duel while Stark, seemingly pours himself a whiskey.

Taking place in the fictional Stark Tower of New York City, why Loki is there exactly isn't clear, but Stark seems undeterred by his presence, remaining as cocksure as he always is.

Drawing a line in the sand prior to the proverbial hitting the fan, Stark points out that Loki has annoyed a lot of people with his world-dominating plans. Including four super-powered heroes.

The scene is a showcase for Joss Whedon's screenwriting talents. It's witty, doesn't skip a beat and is totally aware of just how ludicrous and camp the premise really is. Which is precisely what we want from this film.

"I have an army."

"We have a Hulk."

'Avengers Assemble' is released in the UK on 26 April 2012.
