That's not Scarlett Johansson....
On Monday at E3, Square Enix revealed the trailer for their big new Avengers game. Much like Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 from last year, many Marvel fans hope that this will be the big triple-A game that brings their comic book heroes to life.
And the trailer does look pretty cool - the main Avengers from the movies are all there (apart from Hawkeye, for some reason), in a big action scene. And there's an interesting story set-up, with the Avengers disbanding, and having to reform to face a new threat. Seems like a pretty solid basis for a big, mainstream modern video game.

But did something seem rather, well, off to you?
That's because they don't have the images rights to the film actors - so they don't look like Scarlett Johnasson, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr et al.
This isn't a spin-off or tie-in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - instead, it is own stand-alone game. But still, it has irked many fans.
