I know you’re likely thinking “Hey, those posters are the same“, well you’re right with one exception. Marvel Studios is reportedly going to title the movie “Avengers Assemble” in the U.K., in order to avoid confusion with the 1960’s Spy-Fi series called The Avengers.

Now, in other news regarding The Avengers… Each of the stars of the film recently spoke with EW about the characters and the film. Check out what they said below!

Robert Downey Jr. said,

“I’m still trying to, without moving backwards, remember the character that [Iron Man and Iron Man 2 director] Jon Favreau and I created, and be true to that. Avengers has always been this kind of hovering [thing]. 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 … although not entirely accurately. In one teaser I say, ‘I’m putting a team together,’ and in the other one I’m like, ‘What do you mean I can’t join the team?’ But aside from that, it kind of really tracks through.”

Chris Evans –

“I don’t want to ruin anything, but the few people [Steve Rogers knew] who may be alive are probably in their 80s, and, for the most part, everyone is gone. He never had much family before, but anyone he could possibly consider close has gone by the wayside. Who does he have in the world? Nobody. Rogers is kind of defined by is his morals and values. In the ’40s there was much more of value on those things. Things are a little more impersonal these days. It just lends itself to his sense of isolation.”

Chris Hemsworth –

“There’s a maturity to the character because of the journey he went on, certainly. 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. There are certainly moments where Thor says things and there’s a sideways glance from everybody: ‘What the hell is this guy talking about?’ He’s 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.”

 

Scarlett Johansson –

“The Widow has no time for romance. She’s a lover of all things. She has a love/hate relationship with I think everyone she meets in some way. Part of what makes her sexy is she takes no prisoners. You wouldn’t grab her for a big old bear hug.”

 

 

Jeremy Renner –

“I’m on such the periphery. 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.”

 

 

 

Mark Ruffalo –

“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 shit. Oh God, what did I do? And so we were talking about it like that, actually. At the beginning of The Avengers, “[Banner] starts like he’s sober in a weird way. He’s started a whole new life when we find him, and it’s cool.”
