The mysterious transformer revealed?
At least we now know the name of that giant-*** dragon thing (also revealed to be the troop transport, bringing The Redacted to earth).
The Avengers plot revealed?
Sounds like a lot to happen. Some I like, some I have mixed feelings on. Thanos sounds cool, and Loki tricking him to take control of his army sounds just like something Loki would do, but, as I said, I have mixed feelings on the other stuff.
The Avengers running time and midnight showing
I have mixed feelings on both of these statements (the Marvel movie-thon sounds kick-***!). Normally cutting scenes means plot-holes, awkward dialouge and scenes that don't make sense. Releasing extended/director cuts puts the movie the way it was originally susposed to be seen, fixing those problems adressed earlier. Not releasing a longer version, especially since he revealed that one does exost, might cause problems if (god forbid) the theatrical version doesn't do good.
Edit: The Avengers Rumors Squashed
Well, there goes at least half of this thread.
I'm glad that Loki doesn't team up with Skull....at least in the first movie. Maybe have Skull come back in a sequel with him leading HYDRA again, threatening world domination, like all good villains do.
The leviathan turns and alien gunfire hits the café causing people to flee as the damaged Quinjet (Avengers plane) crash lands.
The Avengers plot revealed?
First off to bat, we will be seeing the return of Hugo Weaving reprising his role as Red Skull. Apparently, Loki finds him during his "travels" and partners up with this veteran evil do-er.
Next up, do you remember the alien spacecraft blowing everything up from the trailer? Well, those are none other than the Skrulls. Oh wait, we can't say Skrulls because Sony still has the rights to that name. So Marvel had to change their appearance and the name to avoid getting sued. Yes, that's right. Due to big business, Marvel can't use their own creation in their own movie. So now they are called The Redacted.
Marvel fans will also recognize the name Thanos showing up, and he plays a huge role. In fact, he gets tricked by Loki in an unfair trade getting the infinity gauntlet as Loki takes the now named Redacted. Oh yeah, he also hands over the gigantic space Serpent, The Leviathan.
Once the Redacted realize that Loki has betrayed their master by making him think that the infinity gauntlet is more powerful than originally stated, they turn on Loki. Forcing him to join sides with the Avengers.

The Avengers running time and midnight showing
The Avengers used to be 3 hours, but Joss Wheadon has managed to cut it down to 2 hours 15 minutes. His reasoning: More isn't more. He also said that the longer version won't be availible on Blu-Ray. Also, select AMC Theaters will host a Marvel Movie-thon, showing all 5 Marvel movies leading up to and culminating in a midnight showing of The Avengers.
Edit: The Avengers Rumors Squashed
Kevin Feige, producer of The Avengers, started eliminating some rumors in his interview in Empire magazine. First up, he does clear up who the Avengers will, or will not, be facing off against...well, kind of. He starts off with his response simply, "Who says they are aliens?" Feige, has said before that the Skrulls are not in this movie. They aren't aiming to set up the Kree Skrull war or anything like that. In fact, He goes on to say that the enemies are in fact from the comics, but by no means impactful to the main story.
He also clears up that Red Skull will NOT be in The Avengers. No Red Skull in this movie, but Feige didn't say anything about no Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos, or the water dragon, the Leviathan.
