Just some trivia regarding that movie toe-in discussion - there was supposed to be an Avengers tie-in game to release with the film. It was going to be published by THQ (not Sega considering the quality of their prior tie-ins), was going to be first-person and would have taken inspiration from the Secret Invasion storyline. It was ultimately cancelled, somewhat due to THQ'S finance issues from what I remember. You can find early gameplay online.

The key mechanic where you carry the boss key to the dungeon is in the handheld games for sure!
