To conincide with 2012's Marvel's The Avengers, the now defunct THQ was granted licences to created a video game based on said movie. Allegedly, the game was in delevopment for 18 months before it was canned in August of 2011. The game was cancelled due to the financially struggling THQ having to close their Austrialian branch. Playable levels would include: The Battle of New York, The Helicarrier, and the inside of an alien mothership. One screenshot features Captain America fighting against the Skrull: a prominent alien species in the Marvel comics but not featured in the movie.
