With many months to go until the release of one of the biggest movies of the summer, Marvel is surely not taking its time with teasing the fans about it. Two brand new banners for “The Avengers” have just been unveiled.

The film doesn't drop until May next year but, so far, plenty of images and even footage from the film have been shown to eager fans, who are already on pins and needles in anticipation of the big release.

With the holiday season around the corner, it's time for Marvel to kick up a notch marketing on “The Avengers.”

The banners bring nothing new in terms of showing more of the superheroes' cool costumes, but they do add an important member to the team, who has been notably absent until now: Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / The Hulk.

They also include the superheroes, in order of appearance: Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow.

As noted above, “The Avengers,” which will show the adventures of the biggest superheroes in the Marvel universe, drops on May 4, 2012.
