- AVENGERS New Trailer, Poster & Avengers Speak
We not going to say anything JUST WATCH THE TRAILER BELOW
Speaking with
EW, the cast reveals that
they're as excited as anyone about the superhero ensemble finally hitting the
big screen.
"Avengers has always been this kind of
hovering [thing]," says
Robert Downey Jr. "Is it really possible? I just think that it was an incredibly
ambitious notion, and looking back at Marvel and their fledgling years, they
always had a vision of this."
While the Iron Man star goes on to say that he's
tried to stay very true to the character he created in the earlier films, Thor's Chris Hemsworth is anxious to
see his Asgardian alter-ego evolve in the new film.
“There’s a maturity to the character because
of the journey he went on, certainly," Hemsworth explains. "He was a petulant sort of kid at the beginning of Thor, and by
the end of it hopefully you walk away thinking that he is matured and there was
a grounded quality to him that wasn’t there before.. He’s [also] not quite the
odd one out as much as he was in Thor. These guys … one of them wears an iron
suit, one of them turns into a big, green monster. They all have these crazy
personalities, and alter egos. They’re misfits, and that’s how they fit, in a
funny way.”
Even though
team members share some unusual similarities, don't expect them to all become
immediate friends.
"I'm on such the periphery,” says Jeremy Renner of Hawkeye, “By nature of
being a sniper on top of a building, the behavior of a sniper is a loner. He
gets a call and comes and does his thing.”
"Part of what makes her sexy is she takes
no prisoners,” Johansson
likewise explains about the Black Widow. “You wouldn’t grab her for a big old bear
hug.“
While
Hawkeye and the Black Widow may have a preference for isolation in their
personalities, one member of the team has found himself suddenly and completely
alone.
“Who does he have in the world?" asks Chris Evans of Captain America. "Nobody.
Rogers is kind of defined by his morals and values. In the '40s there was much
more of value on those things. Things are a little more impersonal these
days."
Rounding out
the team is Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner, AKA the Incredible Hulk. Also a
victim of loneliness, Banner has been dealing with his situation for a bit
longer and the actor compares the Gamma-ray-fueled fits of rage to being an
alcoholic.
"[Banner] starts like he's sober in a
weird way," says Ruffalo. "He's started
a whole new life when we find him, and it’s cool...The rage is something that
is like going on a binger - you wake up after a blackout and you did all this
f--ed up s--t."
Opening in 3D, 2D
and IMAX 3D on May 4th in the USA and the 27th of April
in South Africa, The Avengers is written and directed by Joss Whedon and also
stars Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston and Stellan Skarsgard.
