Theater standees for The Avengers are beginning to appear. LAgraphico designed them, Comic Book News posted 'em.
Robert Downey Jr. spoke to Collider and hyped up Iron Man 3 even more:
I think that we have an opportunity with the third Iron Man to make the best of the three, and maybe one of the better superhero movies that's ever been made. But I think we have to remember what made the first one good. It was very character-driven. It was very odd. It was kind of outrageous. And so I think we have to have the courage to trust that the audience is really kind of cool, and smart.

Jaimie Alexander spoke to MTV and confirmed she will be in Thor 2, but won't comment on The Avengers.
Expect more on this in the coming weeks, but the Los Angeles Times says that Paramount, Disney, Relativity and Universal have all purchased time on the Super Bowl. No Warner Bros or Sony though. So The Avengers sounds promising, but no Dark Knight Rises or Amazing Spider-Man.
G4TV (via Geeks Are Sexy) has found the best Iron Man cosplay ever. I think this has been floating around a while but it's still great.
The Hindustan Times (via CBM) says The Avengers producers are looking into two Indian bands, Euphoria and Agnee, as well as the Pakistani rock groups Strings and Jal, to possibly compose some music, and maybe a theme song, for the film.
Oh My Gore (via Shock Till Ya Drop) posted the French poster for the superhero movie Chronicle.
