The Avengers is the 2012 superhero film based on the Marvel comic book series. Like the comic book, the film brings together the four of Marvel's greatest superheroes to fight a global threat.

Jackson, who were first introduced in the films Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger. The film, which was also released under the title Avengers Assemble, is the culmination of "Phase One" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and would go on to become the highest worldwide-grossing film of all time not directed by James Cameron until 2015's Jurassic World . The sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron was released in May 2015.
