The Avengers and
THOR stars are two of the actors on an all-male shortlist (
X-Men: First Class' Jennifer Lawrence was considered but didn't make the cut) for this year's British Academy of Film and Television Arts "Rising Star" award. As well as competing against each other, they'll be facing off against Chris O'Dowd (
Bridesmaids) Adam Deacon (
Kidulthood) and Eddie Redmayne (
My Week with Marilyn).
The winner will be revealed next month when the 2012 Orange Bafta film awards ceremony take place at London's Royal Opera House on February 12th. Nominees for the main award categories will be announced next week and we'll be sure to let you know if any comic book movies make the cut.
