During the
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows press junket,
Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. was expectedly asked about his reprisal in Marvel's superhero extravaganza,
The Avengers. Essentially discussing the ensemble aspect of the movie, and a certain concern while filming scenes together costumed, watch the brief interview below, via
Comic Continuum.
"First of all, you just hope that the costumes look right. Otherwise, it's going to almost be like a comedy of errors where you just go, 'Oh no, we've made a terrible dreadful mistake.' But I think Joss Whedon was the right guy to direct this and everyone has demonstrated outside of The Avengers that they can carry a picture. We have some new folks, obviously, with Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston ect. So, it's a strong team."
Considering these wide variety of heroes have only been seen assembled in cartoons, animations and the source material, their live-action assembly, visually, was a main concern of mine like Downey suggests. Thankfully, judging from the little group shots throughout the trailer, I think it's safe to say Joss Whedon and the team have nailed it. Of course, we won't know how the entire looks together until the film releases; or possibly in the 2nd trailer, expected to hit in January. What do you think?
