Warner Bros. has just lifted the lid on the E3 trailer for its next big Lego game - Lego Marvel's Avengers.
Developed by UK studio TT Games - as always - this new offering will be hitting a wide range of systems at the end of this year, including the Wii U and 3DS.
Based on the two recent Avengers movies, the video game will see you reenact various iconic scenes, including the jaw-dropping Battle of New York from the first film.
As ever, there's plenty of humour on show, so why not give the trailer a gander and let us know if you'll be investing in this new title when it finally launches this winter - or if you'd rather save up your pennies for Lego Dimensions.

My kids and I are excited for this one. I know people are down on it because it pulls from the films versus Lego Marvel Super Heroes which had an original story, but we don't need many excuses to re-visit the Avengers and the MCU.
Im excited for Lego Jurassic World, Lego Spandex not so much.
I'm sorta confused when I saw the trailer though because it uses their original, colorful appearances like the original lego marvel superheroes game. But the artwork for this game uses a more detailed version of the minifigures as they appear in the Age of Ultron playsets as you see in this very article. So I'm gonna assume that's how they'll look in the Age of Ultron levels for this game.
I have Lego Marvel Heroes, and that's my fill of Lego Marvel. More looking forward to Jurassic World.
Will this new Lego Marvel game run at 20-15fps on Wii U like the first one did?
But, why?
Lego Jurassic World releases in 2 days.
Lego Worlds just released last week. (we bought it, worth the $15)
Lego Dimensions is coming in a few months.
And people complain about CoD, AC and the other yearly games. Thats 4 games in 4 months. Madness.
On the bright side, Lego JW and Lego A should be real cheap real soon. All those Lego games always drop in price. Well except Lego City Undercover, I think that's still $50. I'm sure it's doing tremendous sales.
@HollywoodHogan - You got yours to run? Ours spent more time frozen than running.
I hope they can do some other stuff as well, this game may be a tad disappointing if they stick to the movies.
Might get this later. I hope they have a demo for it. I am getting Lego Jurassic but not sure about Lego Dimensions. We already have Skylanders and Disney Infinity. I think that's enough for this family.

The game was truly horrible. The tinny sound was another irritant. Luckily I was able to sell it for $20 to someone who didn't know any better.
I'm going to hold off for DLC announcements ...plus still working on marvel. Need more free time. I do long for a different type of hero game though. Marvel ultimate alliance, a fighting game... anything other than lego.
@HollywoodHogan - "Luckily I was able to sell it for $20"
Before I had kids I traded in almost all of my games except the ones I really liked (which are few and far between, I'm a horrible person.). Then my kids played and finished Kirby's Return to Dreamland on Wii in about 4 hours. So I traded it in. Couple of years later my youngest wanted it back. It was $50 used. Now I mostly just rent or buy Target clearance. Kids get games as gifts or save up their allowance. But it's not worth the hassle to trade stuff in anymore.
How many Lego games can there be?
Nope. Lego jurassic for me. The whole concept for a Lego avengers game is pretty stupid to be honest. Why not have the entire marvel universe in it? I mean they already freaking did that with Lego marvel super heroes, so Lego avengers just seems like a step backwards! At least they could have included the other MCU films, but nope. Only two movies. What a waste of time.
It re-enacts scenes from the movie? Including the "Avengers in a circle" one? And Hulk takes selfies after having punched the Chitauri beast-thing?
Guys, I'm sold.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes with less characters
If it has the open world and adds to the characters in the last LEGO Marvel game I'm in, if not I'll stick with what I've got!
So is this another game where other consoles get DLC and Wii U gets nowt?
Does this mean it doesn't include any of the X-men but will include Agents of Shield/Daredevil stuff?
Why go smaller when the previous Marvel game was packed with tons more characters from all of their comics?
I wonder if this game will be lacking extra content on Wii U like Lego Batman 3 was. That cost them a sale and I'm not sure that I'll bother with The Avengers either as there are too many other games coming that will command my attention/$s.
The first LEGO Marvel Super Hero game is probably my biggest Wii U guilty pleasure by far. It's a game I would never admit to anyone that I played (And unlocked all 90-something characters in). I LOVE Marvel. I really don't want to buy this game, but I'll probably end up walking out of Target, shamefully holding it in my hand when it releases.
@Mommar Well, if this one runs better, doesn't constantly glitch and lock up, has better level design and puzzles, and basically doesn't suck then I'll take it over 'lots of characters who mostly play the same.'
@Stargazer @CaPPa Your taste in level design and puzzles may vary but that other stuff sure never happened to me on the PC.
I never wanted an original story with no defined universe for a Lego Marvel game. Now adapting part of the MCU, that's where it's at! I hope we can play as Coulson with the Destroyer Gun.
the lego movie games are fun but come lego city undercover 2 needs to happen
There are loads of Lego Games about, but the one im really waiting for is Lego Undercover 2.... Pure Open World Lego was brilliant.
Saying that, i've already got Jurassic World pre ordered and will probably get Lego Avengers and Dimensions... Mainly for the Buildable Lego that comes with it.
