avengers cast photo1 Marvel Assemble The Avengers For the First Time At Comic Con   Robert Downey Jnr, Samuel L Jackson, Chris Evans & More

Well hit me over the head with a drumstick and call me Mr cool, I could have bet my whole existence that this was going to happen. To be fair as ‘surprises’ go it’s a pretty awesome one , at Comic Con after Marvel showcased their upcoming Captain America and Thor movies, Kevin Feige (Marvel Studies President) brought the entire crew of The Avengers on stage (bar Don Cheadle), marking the first time we could see Robert Downey Jr., Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Director Joss Whedon assembled together in one room. This also confirms that Joss Whedon IS directing, Jeremy Renner has been signed on to play Hawkeye and that Mark Ruffalo has replaced Ed Norton as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. I’m still slightly soured on this film due to the dismissal of Ed Norton, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I’m sure geekgasm’s are ensuing!! The Avengers hits theaters May 4, 2012.
