Below are a couple of excerpts from the interview over at Bleeding Cool. To read the whole thing, where he goes into more detail about working with the actor, the dangers that his job involve, the lack of recognition stuntmen get and more, follow the link to the site by clicking below.

"Robert is just an incredible performer. You can be chatting with him off camera one minute and then he’ll just flick a switch and go into whatever character he is playing on the day. Being able to work with someone at that level is a privilege. He’s up there with a handful of other people in the world right now who are at the top of their game."

"The Avengers is due to kick off next month. There are teams here in new Mexico now, prepping and rehearsing. General rehearsals for the stunt team will start next month and filming will start in April. The stunt co-ordinator is a guy called R A Rondell, a big time American co-ordinator, very prolific. I know who the characters are, but I don’t know much about the story or the script and not really sure of what will be required of me. I’m sure Tony Stark will be up to lots of good stuff so there will be plenty for me to do."


Starring Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Marc Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson, The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!

Clearly reading comprehention is not your guys strong suit. He clearly states filming starts in April. Try reading it again, but a little slower this time.

@kpk..LOKI HAS BEEN CONFIRMED SOME TIME AGO..AS FOR ANY OTHER TWIST TO THE STORY WHICH MAY SHOWCASE OTHER VILLIANS..WE DONT KNOW

MARVEL will probably reveal the villains are after THOR and CAP come out. Heck, THOR and CAP will probably hint at who the villains will be.

@kpk - Has it ever occurred to you or anyone else that maybe JUST maybe after 3 out of 3 good movies Marvel Studios KNOW what they are doing?

I sincerely wouldn't mind going into the theater to watch Avengers with the same feeling I had for Inception.
Inception had the most un-informative marketing campaign story wise and almost everyone were blown away not just because the movie was amazing but because we went in blind.
It would be WICKED to have that feeling of excitement going into the theater and let's face it. Avengers is GOING TO BE EPIC. That level of ambiguity will do nothing but enhance the level the enjoyment.

@kpk THATS ODD I THOUGHT IVE READ A FEW TIMES WHERE HE WAS SAID TO BE IN IT AND I THOUGHT TOM HIDDLESON SAID HIMSELF HE WOULD RETURN IN AVENGERS..

I GUESS YOUR RIGHT ABOUT NOT BEING "OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED" BUT THIS MEANS SOMETHING..

Tom Hiddleston Confirmed To Reprise His Role As Loki For The Avengers?
Tucked away in the Deadline article which revealed that Cobie Smulders is the front-runner to play Maria Hill was the news that Tom Hiddleston will be back as Loki in the superhero epic...
Josh Wilding - 2/5/2011

Robert Downey Jr brings his Iron Man character, Jeremy Renner is Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson is Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth is Thor, Mark Ruffalo is Bruce Banner/The Hulk, and Chris Evans is Captain America. Tom Hiddleston is Loki and Clark Gregg reprises the role of SHIELD agent Phil Coulson that he played in the last Iron Man.
