There was a lot of anticipation and anxiety for”The Avengers," Marvel’s comic book-movie. The movie featured Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, The Black Widow, Hawkeye and a Demi God named Thor. The movie was directed by Joss Whedon; who is known for his TV series "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" and the "Cabin in the Woods."
