Yesterday JoshW posted a blurb from the interview Joss Whedon did with Entertainment Weekly where he said that The Avengers will take place mostly from Captain America's point of view. Now they have posted the full interview where Whedon says that all The Avengers are loners but Captain America is the ultimate loner, and that him and Chris Evans have worked really hard to keep Cap the 40's Steve Rogers we saw in his solo movie.



“[The Avengers] is very much about people who are alone — because I’m writing it.[Captain America] is kind of the ultimate loner in that way. There is an anachronism to him, and Chris and I have always tried to make it, without making it goofy or too obvious, always tried to make him that same grounded ’40s Steve Rogers he was in the other movie.”


Whedon also said that just because its told from the perspective of Captain America, don't expect him to be the main character. Going on to say all the characters have an equal share in the movie, and that they will have to work together to solve the problem at hand.



“You get them in a world, the world of S.H.I.E.L.D., where they fit in. And you say, upfront, these are monsters. These are freaks. These are not you and me, and what are they doing here? How are they human beings? Let’s just investigate that.”


The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård , Samuel L. Jackson, and will be released on May 4, 2012.
