Marvel Studios headKevin FeigetalksaboutThe Avengers:
“We wanted to do a tease of an image – Let people know that the movie has started filming, and it’s real. We thought it would be fun to have the cast chairs — that’s the big selling point of the movie, that these people are together on the set” … “I did get to New Mexico on the 1st day of shooting. Right off the bat, it involved a couple of characters who’d been in other movies meeting for the first time” he recalls. “It was a little surreal, realizing it was actually happening” … “Iron Man and Thor have defeated threats, and in a couple of months Captain America will hold his own – So what in the world could they go up against that requires all of them to get together for a challenge that they may or may not succeed against?” … “Everyone has more than their own fair share of screen time, interaction and arcs in this film – we didn’t want anyone to get a short shrift – it’s a big story and big movie. Everyone has room to have their own stories, but the primary one is their interaction together. That’s where the fun really is!”
