An early promo poster for The Avengers has popped up online. I wouldn’t expect to see this in theaters, since truth be told, it looks more like a collectible trading card than an actual movie poster. The photo is just something snapped by a camera though, maybe it’ll look better in high-res?

Here’s the image, originally pushed out on to the internet by this ESQ twitter account. They captured it at the 2011 Licensing International Expo.



A little awkward the teaser poster may be, but they’ve managed to fit in all the principals. Hulk, Hawkeye, Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, and Iron Man are all in evidence. Normally I’m all for hand drawn posters, but I guess they can’t all be winners.

Plenty of time left to come up with better promotion. The Avengers doesn’t hit theaters until May 4, 2012. To keep up with the latest on the film, visit its page in our BFD.
