EDIT:
Joss said he was going for a Dark Knight/Empire Strikes Back kind of vibe with the tone and spectacle. Mission accomplished! Knowing he said it's going to be character-driven and emotionally rich like those classics too, May can't arrive fast enough. This summer's going to give rise to a whole new generation of Whedonites. Good for Joss!

Also, it looks: (1) fucking epic; and (2) like James Spader's going to steal the show.

So with that in mind, there were a couple things in the trailer that stood out. One was the scene where he drops the hammer, the usual fallen hero moment. And right before that, he's front and center "leading" the team. Joss isn't one to play to convention, but trailer cutters are another thing- there's that usual tendency to highlight/prop up a character right before they fall/die.
I'm probably reading too much into it, but if you come in with the preconception that someone has to die (because Marvel needs some consequence to a movie's events), one can come up with evidence to support the idea that it'll be Thor. But like I said, I may just be stretching things to fit my theory.
EDIT- And there's also the scene from the SDCC footage where everyone's trying to pick up Thor's hammer. It sounded light and funny, but one could stretch it to set up his fall too.

The trailers looks pretty awesome

The fact that Disney owns Marvel.
Thus they can get away with using songs from Pinocchio.

Good trailer.
Yes, agreed Squishy -- James Spader, stealing the show with just that voice. How does he DO that?!?! I freakin' LOVE James Spader!
Looks like another boffo box office smash for the MCU.

I think the part at 0:27 shows Captain America, Black Widow, Bruce Banner and Thor in mourning, similar to the original's trailer scene between Cap and Stark. So I think they all survive. If I had to place a bet it would be on Hawkeye. Joss is going to finally make us fall in love with him, and then he's going to die a horrible, painful death. And due to Tony's creation and/or activation of Ultron causing it, Bruce's subconscious blaming of Stark (which Thor is feeling too, if that choke hold is any indication) sends him into a Hulk berserker rage requiring Tony to don the Hulkbuster.
It makes sense from a real world perspective too. Jeremy Renner gets the nice juicy (and narratively crucial) role that he's been publicly requesting since the original came out. And one of Marvel Studios busiest actors suddenly gets the time for his other projects in the process. Seriously, Renner's the Guillermo del Toro of actors. He seems to always be attached to a dozen projects at the same time. And unlike del Toro, they all mostly go into production. I think he's pulling a Michael J. Fox circa 1984 and just straight up isn't sleeping.

Downey was my original bet. He was pretty vocal about Iron Man 3 being his last solo film. Joss has a history of killing off the main character when he's finishing a run on a project that's entirely his and not one of his friends' (see Buffy and Kitty Pryde). They had the fake out in the last movie. And, yeah, he signed on for Avengers 3. But who's to say it wasn't for a flashback/dream sequence extended cameo.
But then the news broke about Captain America 3, so now it's either Hawkeye or Fury. Renner's hinted he wants to move on. Whereas Jackson publicly seems to want to ride this out as long as they'll have him. He's even said he wants a part in the new Star Wars projects too. Plus, like Nick Cage he doesn't really turn down projects (good or bad), so if Feige offered him a contract extension I doubt he'd turn it down. He genuinely seems to be having a lot of fun.

Grack21- I knew there'd be some factual argument against my theory, but that doesn't rule out the Ragnarok clone above if Thor's dead. :)
okelay- I caught that too, but I think it'll be a dream or vision or something similar.
Squishy- Pepper is another possible candidate.
JesusSavedIn01- The scene at the 0:27 mark has Banner in that blanket, which makes me think it comes after he's stumbling through the woods after Hulking out (and is visibly shaken by it). But Hawkeye's also in those woods, and someone's got to fly the jet, right? (it does look like someone's in the pilot seat)
Still, I do like the Hawkeye theory, just maybe not the chronology. Just to add more fuel to the fire, Renner has been wishy washy about wanting a solo movie, almost like he's had to cover up what happens to him in this movie.

Seems like the source of the original leak is the usual, "it's bummer Disney can't do everything in house, with people who won't leak stuff", as somewhere on the process to send it to one of the international markets, where we are getting it a few days early on April, someone in the chain leaked it. The HD version on Youtube, has the May message, matching North American release.
Seeing Marvel Hydra tweet, made me wish they actually built a social web release plan than included Hydra leaking parts of the trailer (with grainy effect) ahead of the Tuesday broadcast, instead they had to rush in and share the HD version anyway, as every major news outlet online was picking up the leak story.
As the Tuesday night tease, goes a lot beyond boosting AoS ratings in North America, as the second season is a few days behind in certain key markets or haven't barely started. It really needed a proper online presence plan, for the buzz the talk about the trailer was generating everywhere, and I do mean everywhere, not just the North America-centric outlets.
Excited for the movie. I expect tears and sad stuff. Pain. The Joss usual.

But dammit, 'I've Got No Strings' was one Disney song that never creeped me out!

JesusSavedIn01 - I LOVED the character Andy Serkis played in "13 going on 30". I really like the whole movie and if anyone hasn't seen it, it is worth watching. It is a light, fun, romantic comedy film. Added fun - Mark Ruffalo is in it!

This may just be me, but I really don't get the Hulkbuster. Tensile strength does not scale with size (after a minimum size) and if the Iron Man suit is what is powering the Hulkbuster, then Tony has all that extra mass to maneuver and accelerate. Not actually useful for subduing a Hulk…
Valantha | October 23, 04:31 CET
Also what's up with all those cargo ships?
Simon | October 23, 04:38 CET
Will the third one finally be the classic animated musical he went to Disney the first time around for ? (With Avengers characters of course)

AFAIK, these actors (who appear in Avengers 2) still have movies left on their contract: Renner, RDJ, Evans, Johansson, Ruffalo, Hemsworth.
Granted, RDJ only has one left on his contract - but he's supposedly joining Cap 3, if you believe the Civil War plotline is going to be used.
I think Jane or Pepper might die, since Thor 3 is not predicated on Jane and there is not likely to be an Iron Man 4. The problem I have with Pepper dying (aside from the fact that Pepper is great) is that now we've got a fairly minor female character being offed to propel Stark's story, or at least to further it. The MCU doesn't have enough women as it is; I'd like for the MCU to at least introduce a few more first.

Sunfire - re: Christmas presents... I was able to satisfy my curiosity by helping a friend sneak into her presents at an annual Christmas party. Wouldn't ever use it on my own though... It's a shame, I was real good at it too. Not sure how to use that metaphor to hold me over till next week >.<

And for Pepper or Jane to die in the movie, they would probably have to be IN the movie.
It's all guesswork now though, I mean there are several characters confirmed to be in the film that weren't in the trailer at all. I saw nothing of Mario Hill.
Grack21 | October 23, 11:46 CET
Honestly, I think that would make for a better movie. He can't keep killing SHIELD people.

It's perfectly fair that she didn't get excited from this. This was just a teaser trailer to get across a certain mood. I guess that aspect didn't excite her. I'm sure later trailers and commercials will have more about the characters and plot. Perhaps that will appeal to her.
