Has Chris Hemsworth Confirmed Captain America as Leader of The Avengers?

Does a small, unnoticed comment from Chris Hemsworth in the following interview finally confirm what fans have been wondering for over a year? Is Captain America the leader of The Avengers in the upcoming Marvel film?

Before you get too far into this video and inform me that "this has already been posted," let me just say that I am already aware of that. However, there seems to be a very small, almost inaudible piece of this interview (a portion that has not been touched upon in any of the reports and almost unnoticeable) that is the actual reason I have posted this video. I haven't even noticed any comments pertaining to it, so bear with me.

If you turn your sound up at the beginning (the jumbled part that almost nobody has paid any attention to) you'll notice at the 18 second mark, the interviewer is talking to Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth.

Chris was the leader and you guys follow him?

Hemsworth: He's the boss, yeah. Yeah.

Is this confirmation that Captain America is actually the leader of the team as most of us have hoped? While I can't say for certain, it doesn't look like Hemsworth is joking around. It certainly seems like he just acknowledged Chris Evans as the team leader.



The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr. Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson is set for release May of 2012.

Is it me or does Tom Hiddleson play things a little too fast and loose when talking about The Avengers? I feel like I've learned so much more about this movie from his most recent comments (not that I'm complaining). I know Marvel is going to put a gag order on my dude real soon. LOL

I think we all knew he was gonna be the leader anyways

@TayDee: I don't know about that. You got to remember Ironman was the leader for like the first two decades of the Avengers existence. If they wanted to stay true to the comics they would go with Ironman.

Whe do you guys think will shout the famous "Avengers Assemble" line first in the movie? I'm hoping its Cap but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Fury.

Did anyone really think he wouldn't be though?

@NOLANITE: ... you make about as much sense as the actual Nolanites, but I guess that's the point. ;)

iron man was the leader in early avengers of the 60s & 70s.ain't got a problem with cap being the leader but iron man would of been good as well.

When they gather at the end against Loki I'm going to have a nerdgasm when Cap shouts "Avengers Assemble" :)

@SonOfStarKiller - He only mentions what he's allowed to say. He makes several references throughout these videos to that fact.

i think we will take charge in the final battle, and say his epic line for the first time. then they listen to all his orders during the fight.

Cap leader aye? I don't think they'll just let him be leader. They're all kinda want to lead into battle, especially Iron Man or possibly Thor.

It would be a nice touch if at the end Cap screamed it (AVENGERS ASSEMBLE) against the battle against the main bad guys whether it be Skrulls/-insert alien race- /Kree and/or Loki. I have a feeling it's something that Joss would do.
