The Avengers has been expertly piquing our interest as the weeks go by as we get ever closer to the film’s May 4 premiere. Marvel.com has released two new photos for us giving audiences a new look at Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, plus one of Mark Ruffalo (aka the Hulk) and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) conferring on something that appears quite serious.

In The Avengers (check out the trailer), Fury is crossing the globe to assemble a superhero collective to fend off a global threat by none other than Thor’s bad guy Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
