To date, Marvel’s The Avengers has grossed roughly $1.5 billion worldwide, and that’s before the DVD and Blu-Ray have even been released. Most of us can’t wait to drop $28 on a shiny gold case for a 3D disc that we’ll never use, but damn it, we need that special edition 3-disc set. Oh, and don’t forget the Marvel box set that comes with its very own Tesseract case and a bevy of special goodies that will make you forget that it still includes a sh*tty Hulk movie.

You’d think with all of that and the millions of dollars that will come with it, Marvel wouldn’t really care about a few more bucks. WRONG. Apparently we can all haul our asses back to the theater this weekend to re-live the big screen experience, because Marvel has re-released The Avengers, so says Thanos. Oh, and the Avengers Facebook page, too.

With The Avengers hitting DVD September 25th, more and more deleted and alternate scenes are starting to show up online. Sometimes I wonder if some of these are actually deleted scenes or just scenes that they shoot special to promote the DVD release. Have you seen the “director’s cut” of The Town? If that’s actually the cut Ben Affleck wanted, Ben Affleck is some kind of Frank Drebin director who’s been inadvertantly Forrest Gumping his way into undeserved accolades this whole time, because the director’s cut is terrible. Anyway, this deleted scene from The Avengers isn’t that bad – much better than the alternate opening that hit yesterday – but it does have my least favorite of all Marvel scenes, the Stan Lee cameo, the part of every Marvel movie where they throw out all pretense of storytelling in order to wink at you while every neckbeard in the audience puffs out his mantits in the hopes of being the first to acknowledge he’s been successfully pandered to. Relax, fatty, at this point, Condoleeza Rice probably knows who Stan Lee is. That said, Chris Evans is dreamy and I could stare at him staring at stuff all day.

I09 recently got a hold of the above still of Jake Sully, which takes place after the deleted bar fight scene.  In the scene, Jake Sully sees some guy slap a woman and decides to give him a paraplegic-style beat down. But fighting someone else’s fight and trying do the right thing only gets him thrown out, where he lies in the street, sprawled in the shape of a crucifix.  Now, I know what you’re thinking, bros – “A biblical allusion — in a sci-fi movie?!?  That’s insane!”

But it’s true.  James Cameron went there.  Turns out Avatar was even more of a game changer than we thought.  Game.  Changer.

This is a deleted scene from the Juno DVD (out April 15th) called "Café Triste". Triste means sad in Spanish and that about sums it up. Kinda would’ve liked to hear the song about Danny Trejo though.

Side Note: The movie version of Café Triste is nowhere near as sad as the real one – in Berkeley, of course. (video after jump)
