The Avengers are currently the bestselling Marvel franchise. I might dare say they represent the chart-topping franchise of the genre, but I won't risk antagonizing DC fans.
However, we got used by now with their flying around in outer space, with their costumes and feats of bravery. How many times did they save the world, on their own or as a team? Well, I for one lost count of that.
As wrapped up as we might be in admiring the likes of Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk and Captain America, at the end of the day, well, we perhaps ask ourselves about the actors portraying the iconic Avengers.
The real life Avengers
Check out the video below, courtesy of Entertainment Tonight! Funny and engaging, the short clip featuring Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, as well as Jeremy Renner, complements the fabulous Marvel mythology they are part of as adapted for the big screen.
Father of three children, Robert Downey Jr. confines to making fun of colleague Hemsworth who's just been blessed with twins. But do notice the hint of self-irony: "I’m telling you, his superpower is parenting".
And he adds: "Alright, they're young, that's how they can do that", in reference to the parenting skills of the Hemsworths.
On the other hand, Evans is not committed. Well, not yet. "I'm just sniffing out trouble on my own", says the actor, when the interviewer points out he's got no family responsibilities.
And Ruffalo immediately jumps in to wittily comment "My wife won't let me go with him"! Well, that's a blast, to have the actor playing the invincible Hulk come off as henpecked!
As to Renner, well, he's unanimously nominated for the biggest goofball on set. And, unlike Hawkeye, he's, well, kind of funny and totally easygoing.
So, there you are! Can you imagine the mashups? To have actors' traits worked out into their respective Avengers characters?
We'd have a goofy Hawkeye, a diaper buying Thor, a Hulk on a tight leash. Don’t know about Robert Downey Jr., I'm pretty sure he looks a lot like Iron Man.
Stay tuned, we'll bring you the hottest scoop on all things Avengers!
