Avengers alerts cause disruption

18th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Movies - The all-star Avengers cast are struggling to escape being recognised off set.

Next year's eagerly awaited superhero epic, The Avengers, boasts a who's who of A-List talent including Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and rising stars Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner. And Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Coulson in the movie, has remarked that finding a quiet moment with the cast after a day's shooting in Albuquerque has been hard.

"To see those people and have it be Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner or Sam Jackson, a lot of Academy Award nominations out there. That's kind of remarkable," said Clark to Collider. "Unfortunately, a lot of times, very few of us were there at the same time. There was one or two weekends, when everybody was there, and there were some hilarious Avengers assemble' [the superhero team's motto] texts that went out, with the location of Avengers assemble being some very rowdy Albuquerque nightclubs.

"The English actor, Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, his line was, I went to this marvellous place called Chilli's here in Albuquerque.' We're like listen Tom'"

Clark, who played Agent Coulson in the Iron Man and Thor movies, leading to his role in The Avengers, is hoping for his own spin-off adventure.

"I'm just trying to get the Marvel guys as excited about it as I am. They seem to be weirdly more open to it. There's more talk about seeing Agent Coulson in some other mediums, lately, and I'm open to the idea," he said.

The Avengers sees Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye team up. The movie is directed by Joss Whedon. (C) Cover Media
