It’s rare that international trailers have much more to show than domestic ones, and yet the new Japanese trailer (not dubbed, thankfully) for Joss Whedon’s superhero orgy of (hopefully) awesomeness, The Avengers, actually has a good bit more to show, most notably a fantastic shot of a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier rising out of the ocean and a good bit of focus on each character. It’s pretty badass. It also features some impressive shots of the alien invaders who are totally not the Skrulls. And one somewhat surprising returning character.

Take a lookit:
