The Avengers as Star Wars characters:
INT: Is it hard to give every character a decent share of screen time?
WHEDON: I think the whole point of a team movie is to explain why every member is there, so it’s about getting those moments for each character. I think we end up identifying with Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), he’s out intro into the modern world — because he’s only recently joined it. Sometimes we refer to him as Luke Skywalker … but obviously a lot less whiny.
INT: Does that mean you’ve got a Han Solo?
WHEDON: Well, that would be Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)!(source)

So happy. So attractive. So awesome.
Avengers Assemble!
Fans will get their first real look at the 2012 ensemble superhero film which will unite Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk on screen for the first time when Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters this Thursday. Rumors, speculation and hopes that Marvel Studios will continue their end credits scene trend when Captain America hits theaters this week has come to fruition.
Though the first domestic press screening of the film did not contain the first teaser trailer for The Avengers, theatrical releases will. Several US military installations were privileged to host advanced screenings of The First Avenger film today, and many were pleasantly surprised to find over a minute of action-packed Avengers footage playing after the credits rolled.
