Compliments abound as the Avengers discuss assembling on set for the first time and developing the characters from their original films.

Clark Gregg also comments on the pivotal role of Agent Coulson, and there's loads of footage of the heroes themselves: action-packed shots of Thor's hammer flipping cars, Iron Man himself discussing The Hulk and the Black Widow looking dashing and deadly.
