Marvel’s upcoming summer blockbuster, ‘The Avengers’, from director Joss Whedon has been a long time coming. Marvel has built a movie universe around the Avengers team in their own individual films in anticipation of this very moment and it’s not something that they’re going to let anyone miss.Fans of the previous films (‘Iron Man’, ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’, and ‘Thor’) as well as comic book readers have been devouring every piece of information that Marvel leaks to the net. And while, there are a lot of photos, hints, and rumors around, fans still want more.
Well… tomorrow fans have a chance to get some of their questions answered. Marvel will be hosting an exclusive chat tomorrow (January 31) at 2pm EST through Twitter that will allow fans to chat directly with ‘Avengers’ director Joss Whedon and stars Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson).
To participate in the Twitter chat, users just need to use the @Avengers handle and the #Avengers hashtag. The chat will be moderated by Marvel’s own Twitter celebrity @Agent_M.
In addition to being able to get some questions answered, fans will also be treated to a 10-second teaser for the ‘Avengers’ trailer that will officially air this coming Sunday during Super Bowl XLVI.
And if the Twitter chat wasn’t enough, fans will also be able to get their superhero style on with Marvel’s announcement of the exclusive ‘Avengers’ 3D glasses. These glasses will be sold at participating theaters on a first-come-first-served basis. Sure… they’ll set you back about $5, which is a little higher than the standard 3D upcharge, but they look so cool that you know you’ll buy them!
