The title sequence of The Avengers movie introduces the director, producers, executive producers, director of photography, music, and cast. As each top-billing actor is shown, an iconic item related to their character is displayed to remind viewers which role they play, such as Captain America being shown with an American flag. Secondary actors are introduced over generic backgrounds to de-emphasize them compared to main characters. The director ends the title sequence with a final shot before the film begins.
