Here's the Choice bits from the Avengers movie panel ad SDCC...

Thor is seen being interrogated by Gregg's SHIELD AGENT, about who he is, and where he comes from, and where he learned his fighting techniques.
At one point, Thor tells Portman, who found him in the desert after Odin banished him.. he tells her about his past and his powers...."your ancestors called it magic. You call it science. In my land, its one and the same."

In response to an Audience question,Branagh says don't assume dr. Don Blake won't be part of THOR in some fashion. He enjoys taking parts of the comic's history and interlocking them in surprising ways

Feige is asked about the possibility of R-rated Marvel properties. he reveals that Frank Castle is back under the auspices of Marvel, and they plan to introduce him into the Marvel U shortly....

Jeremy Renner was once again confirmed as Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo is confirmed as Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk! The Rumors there were right.

Now Feige and Johnston are teasing some footage shot last week.
clip showed an unmasked Red Skull looting a tomb in a castle, which belongs to Odin. There's a nod to the Cosmic Cube, a staple of Cap comics.
the Skull then finds a hidden compartment, finds a box inside and opens it. An old man warns the Skull that man was not meant to see what's inside. "Exactly," answers the Skull.

Here are the Avengers... Assembled!

Looking forward to it

[Earth 2 Chris]

I guess the guy with the arm around Downey Jr. in the bottom pick is Hawkeye?

Cool to see them "Assembled"! Helmsworth is the biggest guy there, which is just right.

Chris

I always think Ruffalo is awesome - pretty cool choice.

He's in the movie Hurt Locker. He'll be great.

Joss is also stated that Ant Man will not be in the movie. (maybe he's too small for us to see?)

Here's a summary of the Captain America preview, Thor tie in, and perhaps Avengers hints?

The scene starts inside a castle in Norway during the second World War. The nazis smash their way in and storm through the hole, absolutely filling the room. There were two guys inside and one of them was killed, the nazis get the other guy and drag him through the castle. He’s an older guy and obviously scared.

The nazis instruct this survivor to open a big sarcophagus and he is about to try when they are interrupted. Appearing first in shadow is Hugo Weaving. As he steps forward we see he isn’t the Red Skull yet. He’s dressed in an SS uniform. A real sharp dressed man.

The old survivor seems to know who Hugo Weaving is. Weaving says he based his voice on Wenrern Herzog and I could kinda hear this when he said “It took me a long time to find this place”.

Weaving pushes the top off of the sarchophagus with super strength. Inside is a skeleton just as you’d expect. The twist is – it’s holding the cosmic cube. At least it looked like the cosmic cube. What else could it be?

Here’s the most interesting bit: Weaving calls this cube “the jewel of Odin’s treasure room”. Then he realizes it isn’t and it’s just a fake, so he smashes it. He now looks at a door way in the wall. Carved on this is Yggdrasil, the “world tree” from Norse myth and, of course, Thor.

Somehow, Weaving knows how to open a secret panel in the door so he does and finds the real cosmic cube. It glows blue.

The old man warns Weaving that this cube is not for normal men, to which Weaving said “Exactly!” with a big, evil grin and the clip ended.
