As you may know, the blockbuster action film, “The Avengers,” was released to DVD and Blu-Ray on September 25th. In case you haven’t picked up the film or you just want more, we’ve got some bonus materials, including cast interviews and some exclusive clips (below):<\/p>\n
Tom Hiddleston on playing Loki:<\/p>\n
What do you like about your character in Marvel\u2019s The Avengers?
\nLoki is such a great, larger-than-life character. He has so many dimensions. He is motivated by jealousy, ambition, pride, vanity, arrogance and greed \u2013 and yet he gets to have a lot of fun because of his predisposition towards mischief. On one level, he is this grandiose agent of chaos. He\u2019s a cackling villain standing on rooftops, laughing at the sky. But on another level, he\u2019s a lost child and a brother who was always the second string because he grew up in the shadow of Thor. He\u2019s a rejected, abandoned son who has no place in the universe, so all his destructive anger is motivated by a lack of self-esteem. I don\u2019t think he even knows it, but he\u2019s desperately trying to give himself a purpose.<\/p>\n
Robert Downey, Jr. on working with Joss Whedon:<\/p>\n
What was it like to work with Marvel\u2019s The Avengers director and writer Joss Whedon?
\nJoss Whedon is very good at what he does. He\u2019s incredibly smart, and he\u2019s a great director and writer. The script was constantly evolving. We would get eight or nine pages, and two days later he would say, \u201cI was thinking about that\u2026 Now it should be this.\u201d Once you look at it all on screen, it all comes together \u2013 and it\u2019s very nice. <\/p>\n
Kevin Feige on making “The Avengers”:
\nWhen did you come up with the idea of joining these iconic Marvel Super Heroes together for \u201cMarvel\u2019s The Avengers\u201d?
\nThe idea came during the production of Iron Man when we had the notion that S.H.I.E.L.D. could be part of both Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. We started looking at the list of characters in the Marvel Universe that hadn\u2019t been taken by other studios: Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye and Black Widow and I thought, \u2018Isn\u2019t that interesting; all of these characters happen to form one of the most popular comic book series: The Avengers. When the idea of a Nick Fury cameo started coming up, we called Samuel L. Jackson and he thought it was a cool idea. It was his enthusiasm about it that led us to shoot the end credit scene. He says to Tony Stark, \u201cYou\u2019re part of a bigger universe, you just don\u2019t know it yet.\u201d Well, that line was also Marvel telling the audience as well.<\/p>\n
Joss Whedon on this project:<\/p>\n
Why did you become so obsessed with the movie project?
\nI am a huge fan of what Marvel has established. The films they have released are extremely informative, useful and fun \u2013 but when they first came to me, Thor and Captain America were not even close to being finished. I thought to myself, \u2018Okay, you have all these moving parts, but how can you possibly bring them together?\u2019 Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America don\u2019t seem like they could co-exist, and ultimately that is what intrigued me and made me think, \u2018This can be done and this should be done.\u2019 These people don\u2019t belong together and wouldn\u2019t get along, and as soon as that dynamic came into focus, I realized that I actually have something to say about these people.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Renner on archery training:<\/p>\n
Did you have a lot of archery training for the role?
\nI wanted to do my due diligence; to know enough about archery and to understand why things are \u2013 but we\u2019re in a Marvel universe with Super Heroes and monsters. To be honest, I actually didn\u2019t have to do very much archery training because I was using CGI arrows and I was shooting CGI monsters. Being a Super Hero and a super marksman, Hawkeye doesn\u2019t look where he\u2019s shooting, so I had to get rid of the actual archery skillset and just know that I\u2019m pulling things and firing 1,000 times faster than any archer could ever fire. <\/p>\n
