Images look okay—some nice limited animation. But the narrator is terrible; I know they haven't got the budget for Sam Elliott—or Sam Shepard, for that matter—but this fellow is the local pizza guy trying to sound "badass." Note to Marvel: lots of reverb is <i>not</i> a substitute for character. The music, however, is very nice. Rather than go for the obvious Ennio Morricone pastiche, it goes instead for a Ry Cooder vibe with a touch of heaviness. I approve. Hm. Images look okay—some nice limited animation.

The trailer doesn't work at all in Firefox, and gives me an "undefined" error in IE. Way to show yourself on the cutting edge of promotional technology, there, Marvel. It’s not just you, Heidi.
