The Avengers

When Loki arrives on Earth with an alien army to seize the Tesseract Nick Fury activates the Avengers Initiative bringing together Iron Man Captain America Thor the Hulk Black Widow and Hawkeye for the first time. Joss Whedon’s film solved the seemingly impossible problem of balancing six very different heroes with wit flair and genuine understanding of what makes each of them interesting. The Battle of New York remains one of the great blockbuster action sequences and the team dynamic it established powered the entire MCU.
