The cast of The Avengers—Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson—have again assembled to keep our excitement up for the highly anticipated flick due to hit theaters on May 4.

So does this latest one-sheet do the trick?

While we're obviously happy to see the whole gang gathered together, we can't help but wonder why the man—make that Iron Man—has doffed his protective headgear?

Clearly, his team is dealing with something pretty destructive here, so shouldn't he (as well as Captain America) be sporting more of a complete, not to mention safety-conscious, costume?

Yeah, we get it. This is merely a way for Marvel to show exactly who is playing these characters. But seriously, any menace that can destroy a city block pretty much demands you keep your costume on.

'Nuff said.
