The folks from
Io9 have now weighed in with their coverage from the much-anticipated panel for
The Avengers at this year's New York Comic Con. Revealing a few descent lines of dialogue between Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, not included in
earlier reports, read the witty Joss Whedon-written well-paced exchange down below!
UPDATE #1: Fellow CBMer
BTSMGL was also in attendance of
The Avengers panel, and has thankfully shared a very detailed description of new additional footage clippings screened after the Bruce Banner/Black Widow clip.
"Some new shots featured in the 2nd trailer that came right after the Banner/Widow scene were: Captain America running on top of an NYC MTA bus during the city battle (it looked badass), Loki dressed in a tuxedo (yes, really) hitting somebody with his staff, Iron Man flying up to Stark Tower (the Empire State Building next door) and landing on the helipad, Hawkeye in the city battle shooting his arrows at something, new shots of Thor looking angry at something offscreen (inside the Helicarrier), more random shot of Fury and Widow looking at stuff, some new angles of taxis exploding, and Captain America inside a NYC alley throwing his shield at something offscreen. Oh, another of the new shots was of Stark and Banner in Central Park driving away in Stark's expensive car (from filming last month)."
A little girl runs down the street, through a nondescript Middle Eastern village and into a city. She runs upstairs into a crowded house and starts begging for help from the doctor. The camera pans to reveal Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) standing over a group of very sick patients. He asks if her family has what these poor folks have as well. She says yes and holds up a fist of cash. Bruce follows her.
Cut to Bruce and the little girl standing in front of a rundown shack. She runs forward, but Bruce holds her back and turns around, just as a jeep full of military personnel drives by. Bruce hides his face.
Bruce then follows the little girl into the remote home, far away from the crowded city we saw moments ago and into a shack. He walks through the door just in time to witness the little tyke jump out the window. He immediately knows it's a trap, "Should have got the money up front, Banner."
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) steps out from behind the shadows. "For a man who's trying to avoid stress, you picked a hell of a place to do it." She's not in her usual Black Widow catsuit. Instead, she's wearing a long dress. She introduces herself as Natasha Romanoff.
Bruce shakes his head, "You brought me to the edge of the city. Are you here to kill me Miss Romanoff? Because that's not going to work out."
"I'm here on behalf of SHIELD."
"What if I say no."
"I'll persuade you."
"What if the other guy says no." (Crowd goes nuts.)
"You've been two years without an accident." They continue to argue a bit and Natasha reveals that Nick Fury needs Bruce's help with a Tesseract rock, which has enough energy to wipe out the planet. They can't find it and they need the best gamma ray scientist for the job. She continues to try to win him over stating, "No one is going to put you in a cage." But at that moment Bruce loses it. "Stop lying to me!" he yells as he slams his hands on on the table. (Crowd goes nuts again.)
Bruce looks up and Natasha has pulled her gun on him. She's terrified.
And then it's a stand-off. Bruce tries to calm himself saying that we can do this without getting "him" involved. Slowly Natasha brings the radio up and orders everyone to stand down. Cut to an aerial shot of the hut surrounded by massive team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, all pointing their guns at the shack.
