Looks like marvel studios invented a group of people from various companyies that will be doing tieins/promotions for the film. Here is a non spoilish report on what they saw:

Thor and shield posters:

Dig those posters and everything, don't get me wrong, but it seems they're missing the mark somewhat. The entire drawing point of Avengers is the team up angle. Why, then, is there no pic of Captain America alongside the Black Widow? Iron Man with Thor? Or whatever? What we have is good imagery but it could just as easily be a cover for a movie tie-in comic book. Put the characters TOGETHER. That's the whole POINT.

colors maybe after they release a hulk poster, they will do a few group shot ones.

I believe what they are doing is building-up to it. First show all of the characters alone, doing their own thing. THEN, they come together.

That's going to be the whole point of the movie I think....

*EDIT* Here you go, colors:

Very good. I withdraw my criticism then.

A Samuel L. Jackson update:

Samuel L. Jackson Offers Avengers Update
by SuperHeroHype
August 04, 2011

Samuel L. Jackson is set to reprise his role as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Nick Fury in next summer's The Avengers and dropped a few hints to BBC Newsbeat about what fans can expect from his performance.

"I'm actually doing more than I've done in any of the other films," he says, "You don't have to wait until the end of the movie to see me. I'm actually around the whole movie and I do a lot more. I have action scenes and I actually do things to people in this movie."

Jackson goes to on to say that the entire production has been a dream job and that he couldn't be happier sharing the stage with his fellow cast members.

"We're all really good friends," he says, "It's kind of funny to stand around in a room and see everybody. Thor is standing there in his costume. Captain America. Sometime's he's dressed and sometimes he's not. Scarlett [Johansson] is there as Black Widow. Robert Downey is there. He very seldom has his Iron Man costume on when he's just hanging around with his buds. It's just amazing to look around the room and see all of those guys there and go, 'Okay. This is cool.'"

Jackson, Johansson and Downey join Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård and Amanda Righetti in the Joss Whedon film, hitting theaters on May 4th, 2012.

Jackson really seems to be enjoying himself & I'm sure he doesn't need the money. I take it that he's a comic book geek at heart?! I know he was in the film UNBREAKABLE which btw was one of M. Night's better films! In the film Jackson's character was a paraplegic who was really into art & comics. Some of his roles since then tend to show his love for this sort of thing & let's not forget & I almost did, the STAR WARS prequels! Now he consistently cameos in every MARVEL STUDIOS film, building up to THE AVENGERS.

It's funny, but Evans doesn't look as big in a tighter costume.
