    I'm surprised enough to see Iron Man's supporting cast will make an appearance. Hoping Heimdall and the Warriors 3 make a small appearance too.

    Very smart, showing the Helicarrier. The Japanese should go nuts for this movie. Giant mech serpent, guy in robot suit & giant flying battlecruiser. Might have called it Yamato for s&g's

    Hey! Isn't that Cobbie Smulders? I didn't expect someone from “How I Met Your Mother” on this! lol

    BTW, the Japanese subtitles REALLY cut information off.

    I was once in a localization conference in which a Japanese translator explained that, on average, 70% of the information is lost in English to Japanese subtitles due to space and speed of read constraints.

    Now that I see this I realise she wasn't exaggerating.

    Actually, it would be a surprise if the movie turns out to be a big hit in Japan. So far, none of the Marvel movies leading up to the Avengers has done anything more than medicore box office relative to Japan.

    @David, nope, it's Cobie Smulders, it was pretty well known she was going to be in this as Scarlett Johanssen's agent colleague. I think it's awesome!
