Marvel Studios has released a clip from the 12-minute short film Item 47, starring Lizzie Caplan and Jesse Bradford, which will be included on this fall’s The Avengers Blu-ray.
Taking place immediately following the events in The Avengers, a young couple come to possess one of the leftover alien Chitauri guns in the ruins of New York City, and proceed to go on a crime spree. Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents (Maximiliano Hernandez and Titus Welliver) pursue the would be Bonnie and Clyde who happen to armed with alien handgun heat.
This is not the first short film set in the established big screen Marvel universe. Item 47 follows two previous tie-in’s featured in previous home releases.The Consultant and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor’s Hammer were extras on the Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger DVD/Blu-ray.
Item 47 already screened at Comic-Con this past week, and setting the story immediately after Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’ victory over Loki’s failed alien invasion of NYC seeks like a sure fire hit bonus feature for the Blu-ray.
Marvel’s The Avengers is set for home release on September 25th.
