Before you read on, be warned: there are some major SPOILERS here for 2010's Marvel blockbuster "Iron Man 2", so you should see that first...with that in mind, let's take a look at some of the foreshadowing found so far in Marvel flicks with "The Avengers":
1. In the original "Iron Man" motion picture, we got a brief glimpse of Captain America's own shield, and judging by the fact it took place a while before "Avengers"
2. Then, in "The Incredible Hulk", we saw the famed Captain's weapon once more- but it was another blink and you miss it reference
3. What wasn't a moment of that type, though, was Tony Stark's special appearance at the end of the green menace's sequel- yep, if you weren't there, Robert Downey Jr starred as the human alter-ego of Iron Man, noticing that antagonist General Ross had a problem with the Hulk, and giving several hints that "someone is building a team", and perhaps they could help Ross subdue the "hero" of sorts. Plot-wise, this could mean a lot!
4. Fast-forward to this month's "Iron Man 2", and we had another glimpse of Captain America's shield. Housed in Tony Stark's own residence, we can only assume Iron Man's human ego thought it a piece of modern art, hence why he then decided to use it as a prop-up for his latest experiment (much to a SHIELD agent's dismay). Whether Chris Evan's 2011 hero will give his shield up at the end of the flick to Stark remains to be seen...
5. And then, of course, there was the after-credits scene. That aformentioned SHIELD agent went off to New Mexico, and discovered that his group had "found it". "It" was Thor's hammer- meaning that's where next year's "Thor" either picks up or ends. Both Thor and Captain America form the heads of "Avengers", so we'll see how it all turns out...
