Last year, for some random reason, Norton released a behind-the-scenes featurette to promote Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger film. While it was sort of an annoying product placement ad, it was a pretty good featurette documenting the beloved superhero.
Today, in order to “assemble the ultimate protection” (get it?), Norton goes behind the scenes of Marvel’s The Avengers in a brand new featurette that talks about the lead up to the film over the last few years. It doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know, but we do get treated to a tiny bit of new footage, and anything new to see from the most anticipated movie from Marvel is a treat. Hit the jump to watch!
