We know that Superbowl XLVI will include a brand new 30-second spot for the film, but before then, Twitter will play host to a global event that will allow fans to interact with writer-director Joss Whedon, as well as Tom Hiddleston and Clark Gregg, who are reprising their respective Marvel roles of Loki and SHIELD Agent Coulson.
UPDATE: Good news, everyone! Turns out none other than Samuel L. Jackson will also be joining in the Twitter chat. Nick mother-effing Fury, y'all.
Not only will you be able to participate in a Twitter Q&A with the trio, but participating fans will also be treated to a microscopic ten-second tease of the Super Bowl spot. The chat goes down tomorrow at 11:00 PST and 2:00 pm on the East Coast. Check out all the details in the press release below:
