Audiences in the US and Europe drew the short stick when it came to the release of the trailer for Marvel's upcoming “Avengers.” The Japanese version is longer and includes plenty of never before seen footage.

You can check it out below, embedded at the end of this post.

Finally, we can breathe easy: Jeremy Renner (aka Hawkeye) also gets a line in the new trailer, an oversight that we simply couldn't believe Marvel committed with the latest clip for the US.

Not only that, but this trailer also includes a better look at the aliens the Avengers will be fighting to save the Earth, while also offering a hint about how their coming together might not have the best results – at first.

Check it out. Directed by Joss Whedon, “The Avengers” will be out in theaters on May 4.
