More New "Avengers" Photos and Character Descriptions From the Cast
Robert Downey Jr. on the scripting process:
What were Robert Downey Jr.'s first meetings like with Whedon when the script was being developed? Well, I said, 'I need to be in the opening sequence. I don't know what you're thinking, but Tony needs to drive this thing.' He was like, 'Okay, let's try that.' We tried it and it didn't work, because this is a different sort of thing, the story and the idea and the theme is the theme, and everybody is just an arm of the octopus. But what was I like?" He laughs. "As usual, just f-ing aggressive and hurtful; whatever. The usual.
Scarlett Johansson on 'Black Widow' measuring up to the other Avengers:
The other day we were doing this big reveal shot of all the Avengers. Thor has got his hammer, Cap's got his shield, Hawkeye has his bow and arrow, and Hulk is huge. Then it pans over to me and I've got guns. Iron Man's like, hovering above all of us, ready to go. I was like, 'Joss... um.. do I look okay holding these guns?'" Whedon's response reassured her: "She's a total badass. She's a killing machine.
Chris Evans on the Captain America and his character in The Avengers:
Chris Evans says the Steve Rogers we see inThe Avengers is a much darker, more cynical version after awakening for the first time since World War II. It's just about him trying to come to terms with the modern world. You've got to imagine, it's enough of a shock to accept the fact that you're in a completely different time, but everybody you know is dead. Everybody you cared about. He was a soldier, obviously, everybody he went to battle with, all of his brothers in arms, they're all dead. He's just lonely. I think in the beginning it's a fish out of water scene, and it's tough. It's a tough pill for him to swallow. Then comes trying to find a balance with the modern world.
Mark Ruffalo on Bruce Banner's motive and Tony Stark dynamic:
Bruce Banner really wants to join The Avengers, but because of his past and the group's sort of overall fear of him, he's the outcast among outcasts. "He's the most - guy, but a total loose cannon. No one wants to set him off except for Iron Man, except for Downey, who just wants to see him pop," Ruffalo laughs. "It's funny, there's a really cool dynamic between Tony Stark and Banner. Banner actually enjoys it, and finds it really refreshing. They're a lot alike in a strange way. They're both these kind of scientists who are mavericks, kind of renegades. Banner, for all his mild-mannered mythology, he's still the dude who was testing some pretty crazy s-t on himself, so he has that rebel streak in him."
Chris Hemsworth on Thor's motivation:
His hammer-pounding god is not just once again fighting Loki, his villainous brother from Asgard, but also secretly trying to protect him. "I think [Thor's] motivation is much more of a personal one, in the sense that it's his brother that is stirring things up. Whereas everyone else, it's some bad guy who they've gotta take down. It's a different approach for me, or for Thor. He's constantly having to battle the greater good and what he should do vs. … it's his little brother there," the actor says. "I've been frustrated with my brothers at times, or family, but I'm the only one who is allowed to be angry at them. There's a bit of that."
Jeremy Renner on Hawkeye's place in the film and with Black Widow:
Like Black Widow, he's the only regular human in The Avengers, which gives him a working-class-superhero pride. "The only sort of thing I cling to is the relationship of past experiences with Scarlett's character, with them both being human. I can cling to that," says Jeremy Renner. But there's no insecurity. "Quite the opposite," the actor says. "He's the only one who can really take down The Hulk with his tranq tip arrows. He knows his limitations. But when it comes down to it, there has to be a sense of confidence in any superhero."

New "Avengers" Set Videos Show Loki in Action. SPOILER ALERT!!
Description:
"Public Square was transformed into Stuttgart Germany, complete with street signs, banners, and even a marquee over entrance to the site of the former Higbee's Department Building--all written in German.
According to one of the movie's extra, Terminal Tower was being used as a museum, and the extra told NewsChannel5 that the character Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, killed someone in front of hundreds of museum visitors and was making his getaway when the police arrived. Hundreds of extras were seen running in fear multiple times from the set.
The most exciting part of the night came at around 2:30 a.m. when the crew used a pneumatic ram mounted in the rear of a German police car to flip it onto its roof. The setup for the stunt took a few hours and had to be done twice because the first time the car did not flip completely onto its roof."

Tom Hiddleston Talks About Loki's Role in "The Avengers"
Here's what he had to say:
" Well, I think it was a plan from the get-go, but it wasn't really dead-set until near the end of Thor. What was wonderful is that about four days after I wrapped on Thor, I went out for a cup of tea with Joss Whedon. We sat down at two o'clock in the afternoon, and we were still sitting there at six o'clock. He said, "Listen, you've lived with this guy for six months. I want you to spill the beans and tell me all of his dark secrets. Who is this guy? Why is he who he is?" Ken had already shown him a rough cut of the film, and mercifully, everything I had done accorded with Joss's idea of the character, too. I'm really so flattered that Marvel and Josh think I can take them all on. In Avengers, it's going to be me versus seven of them, and I say "Good luck to them," frankly.
I think Loki's intelligence is never switched off. Let's put it this way: He has really big, evil plans that will take more than his thunderous brother to put a stop to, but that doesn't mean that the layers aren't still there."
