Marvel fans can now experience 2012's "The Avengers" in a new way with an original Lakota language dub, available exclusively on Disney+. A behind-the-scenes video on Marvel's official YouTube channel details the creation of the dub, done in partnership with The Lakota Project. The video reveals that original cast members Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, and Robert Downey Jr. have reprised their roles for this version.

Nick Fury voice actor Thomas Draskovic highlighted the significance of the project in an interview with MPR News: "Well, I think it's great because it's a modern representation of our language, it's not something that is like set in the 1800s. And I thought that was very important to see that we're current and future changemakers with our language and our cultural revitalization."

Draskovic also noted the importance of recording on the Standing Rock Reservation: "One of the great things about this recording this stuff was that it was done on the Standing Rock Reservation, it wasn't done in Hollywood or anywhere else. It's actually at Grey Willow Studios that has a state-of-the-art recording studio set up so that we can do this with our own people, with our own sound engineers, and of course, our own speakers. So that's very important."
