Avengers is most anticipated summer film

Moviegoers are more excited about a superhero super-group than the next Batman film, according to a new poll.

A survey carried out by film ticketing company Fandango saw Marvel Avengers Assemble voted the most anticipated film of summer 2012.

The Joss Whedon film, starring Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans, was the most anticipated movie among male voters and the second-highest among females, with Snow White and the Huntsman topping the women's list.

"All eyes will be on Chris Hemsworth," noted Fandango editor-in-chief Chuck Walton.

"The Australian heartthrob, who stars as Thor in The Avengers, and as the male lead in Snow White and The Huntsman, sits atop both the men's and women's 'most anticipated' lists."

Also featured in both men's and women's top fives were The Dark Knight Rises and Men in Black 3.
