My good friend from SpiderMedia, 'RealIronMan' has graciously shared minor details from stars of Joss Whedon's The Avengers film, Mark Ruffalo & Jeremy Renner. As Renner drops info on his 'Hawkeye' preparation and the script, Ruffalo teases with his "incredible" role, in the following notes.

  • Jeremy have read the script.
  • Calls it tremendous, but can't tell a thing about it. It's really massive & undertaking script
  • He has a lot of training to do, some big archery lessons for going Hawkeye, haven't seen a costume, Joss didn't showed anything
  • You're gonna see a lot of Hulk smashing stuff.


  • Anyhow, The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Clark Gregg, Jeremy Renner, Kevin Pennington, and Cobie Smulders, assembling in theaters May 4, next year!

    I have my gripes about Ruffalo and Evans, but Hemsworth, Downey and Renner should take the steam out of that disaster, hopefully. But what I'm starting to worry about is the BUDGET. I keep reading about how the budget will be in the range of the first Spider-man and lower than the first Iron Man. How is that even possible with multiple heroes who need FX to display their powers including CGI for the HULK. I'm tired of seeing movie footage of stuff like Sucker Punch (85M) that appear to have a higher grade of FX than most MARVEL films. What's up with that? The Avengers should be exploding on screen with color and digital ass-whoopings. 135 mill aint gonna cut it.

    Neo, you say Hemsworth is going to be fine but rip on two actors who have shown considerable ability to hold their own in a movie? You keep ripping on Evans like he's a bad choice, but have not given one logical reason why? Did your fan fic choice not make it????

    I don't make Cap fan fic, fan cast or fan trailers. They are quite pointless really. But if you want a logical reason as to why I believe Evans is a terrible choice, I'll provide it even in light of your animosity against different opinions.

    First off, the casting process itself looked sloppy and was handled for cheapness. Recyling an existing MARVEL actor who already played a main character role into a lead role, as if the world of acting was so small that he had to be a candidate. The list of choices were so bad (I can't believe I wish Channing Tatum would have got it now)I have to wonder if Evans was always going to be Cap and the other chocies were just there to make him look good by comparison.

    Evans himself is known for childish roles and is unbelievable as a leader- unbelievable as Captain America. I can't take him seriously as the leader of the Avengers and he will probably lead the same way Cyclops did in the X-MEN films; not at all. Which isn't a bad thing, but I would think more care and attention would have been taken in casting this particular character. He looks like a joke on the cover of EMPIRE magazine with that unconvincing scowl. Looks like he's dropping a load in his pants while trying not to laugh. So there's my logical reason. Evans doesn't embody the presence of Captain America and seems like a parody of him.

    TayDee- I speak as if my opinion is my opinion. That it isn't a fact should be obvious. So, I don't really understand the point of your comment other than feeling like you had to say something because you don't like my opinion. I don't know how many people liked the cover (and don't care) but he looks like a joke

    Bah, Hulk smash puny long hair, tin man and star man, lol. I'm looking forward to the action. Funny, Hulk and Hawkeye do share some friendly history in the pages of the old Defenders comic like they do in the Avengers animated series,but I know the movie won't entertain that.

    I can't believe renner said he hasn't seen the outfit...that would be the FIRST thing I would have to see before i signed on lol

    I'm sure he's prob seen it, or at least concept art for the costume. No way would he join to play the 'purple cupid' lol jk, I'm sure it's prob a great mesh of urban warfare and flamboyance...

    GOTTA BE PURPLE THO!!! WITH MASK!!!

    I could be wrong, but didn't Ironman lead the original team, and Captain America slowly transitioned into the position? If that is the case, Chris should be fine, let's give him time to grow into the role, as the saga moves on.

    Imtooldforthis In the beginning, I don't think they had a clear cut leader until Cap was found. Another account would be that it was Thor and Iron Man neck and neck with the leadership of the Avengers before Cap is found. Ultimately (no pun intended), it would be Cap depicted as the head of the team. I don't mind it being Iron Man (for obvious reasons), but at the end of Iron Man 2 they have all that "consultant" talk between Stark and Fury as if they were trying to sideline him. But the bottom line, regardless of who's the leader in the film, Cap's character commands a certain level of strength and respect that Evans just doesn't have. And now that you brought this up, I'm starting to think they are trying to see who the fans favore so they can pick the leader. DUN, dunt, DUUUUNNN.

    I'm an honorable person (the only one here), and if Evans does Cap undeniable justice, I will acknowledge it. People seem to miss the point that a gripe is born of a fan who wants to LIKE THE MOVIE. I want it to be good.

    I agree with you over casting of Evans.
    The world is more than comicbookmovie.com,how many 100?150-200 active members?150 don't make a movie score at box-office.Just have look at Marvel's youtube channel comments,more than half of viewers find Johnny Storm and Cap played by same actor ridiculous and hilarious.

    Same with Ruffalo,he looks out of shape,haggard and old for bruce banner.

    The box-office receipts will decide who will lead the Avengers.marvel tasted success with Iron man but TIH didn't do too well.Thor and Cap are relatively unknown outside USA.so investing more than $150 million can be risky.They must learn from Michael Bay and team,God knows how he pulled those amazing CGI's in both Transformer films for a budget of $150 mill and $175 mill only.

    @NeoBaggins Dude, I commend you for keeping your composure against some of these morons...I know it get's hard sometimes. I'm not sure if we've disagreed in the past but this is one time when I agree with you 100%. For the life of me I do not understand what was so great about Evans that they had to have him as Cap, especially in the face of all the legitimate reasons not to! Maybe he's doing it for free? That's the only thing I can think of. You've pretty much stated all my reasons for "no-Evans" as if you read my mind, so no reason to recount them. But I will add that I would've much rather seen Channing Tatum in the role...and I absolutely detest Channing Tatum. That's saying something.

    I'm with you mate.
    What these people fail to pick up on is that they're doing exactly what they're falsely accusing you of doing.Passing their opinions off as fact!
    I can't take him seriously either.Even physically,after he's beefed he looks too small imo.
    As an actor he's only got my attention in one movie and that was The Losers.But even then he was a supporting character to JD Morgan.
    I would like to enjoy the Cap movie but nothing has really grabbed me or impressed...yet.
    Stick to your guns mate.You're a welcome voice of reason on here :)

    @ Neo, Amazo, & superpooper.

    I initially had my discomfort with Evans because I felt he was a safe choice. He is a good actor, comedic or not, he has stood out in his roles. Ive seen all his major films to date and not once was I disappointed in his performance. He has played strong roles and has displayed a true leadership quality. Plus he knows his way around a CBM.

    My problem/doubt wasn't in him nor his performance but more so the casting of him. It was to safe for me. He is just an easy cast and that may mean the production team is scared. They are afraid to make the film. If they restrain from the heart of the character and tiptoe around the source to not hurt feelings the movie wont be as good as it should be.

    The general public don't care if he was the Human torch. They will either ask how did torch become Captain America or how are they going to do a film with both characters in it, if they even address this. And in that scenario this is clearly someone with brief knowledge of the characters anyway, they don't count as the general public they fall under the moderately informed.

    I have now fallen for Chris in the role because he clearly, as a human displays the natural Humbleness of Rogers that I would like to see. The guy that is a Security Guard/artist by day, Leads a normal happy life regardless of saving the world several times. It is something that he truly displays in his natural persona. Also he is a moderately under the radar actor that yet he has plenty of experience.

    He truly fits IMHO.

    after watching GL's trailer I was scared to see how casting a comedian for a lead superhero role can be a horrible disaster.Evans and Reynolds have always played comedy oriented films if not playing a sidekick.

    I m just fed up of watching a humorous joking wisecracking witty womanizer.Steve Rogers is Marvel's answer to Bruce Wayne.Dark and gritty is what I expect from an otherwise non-serious actor.

    Renner must be pretty trusting if he hasn't even seen the costume! What's up with that? Still having reservations about Ruffalo as Hulk, because Norton was just amazing. It'll be nice when we actually get some solid facts - like PLOT, CHARACTERS, etc. That sort of thing.

    @Neo - Wow, U sound like a douch. I was just having fun & you gotta insult me. . .haha. Let's see here, I actually am going far in life as just about everyone, where I am from, knows who I am. I have my own radio show, won a state championship, was on the wrestling team & have had a featured article of me in a magazine. Plus I'm only 17. I will be graduating in a couple months & going to college where I will excel even more. Ive prolly accomplished more already than you have so just go back under your bridge ya Troll. Chris has become the embodiment of who Steve is & this movie will be AWEsome.

    ThaMessenger07 Amazo superpooper rango. People at my job, who are less geeky than myself, recognized Evans from FF and thought it was funny. So even to a casual viewer, the casting looks like the film-makers aren't taking it seriously. That's what I thought before Evans name even popped up. The list was pitiful. And now, like Superpooper, I wish it were Channing Tatum. That's pretty damn bad.

    Evans as Johny Storm makes sense to me. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool makes sense to me. But Cap and Hal Jordon? I don't think so- although, I believe they make issue of Hal's irresponsibility in the Green Lantern. So, at least there, it's part of the story. I'll find out when I rent the DVD.

    And it was actually the Entertainment weekly cover of Cap I was refering to. Not the Empire one. Evans has this frown on his face and he looks like he's making fun of Captain America. It looks like a MAD TV or SNL skit. I'm certain he was trying not to laugh as his shit his pants.

    But I'll give the film a fair viewing. Initialy I was so pissed I wanted it to flop like a gold fish on a hot sidewalk. But Ruffalo is almost enough to distarct me. He looks like a filthy creep who hides in the bushes near highschools. Kevin Fiege is a dick and tried to slander Norton in an unprofessional statement he gave after he destroyed the casting.
