Spoiler details from the EW issue via io9 and Loki spoilers from TotalFilm. I'll just spoiler post them here since the page they're on contains a lot of spoilers for other films: The new issue of Entertainment Weekly features a very detailed set report, and here are the highlights. EW visited during the filming of the "climactic battle, an assault led by Thor's villainous brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who's planning to make Earth his new kingdom after being expelled from their family's celestial realm." And it actually confirms that Loki "has enlisted an otherworldly army to aid his conquest," though not the identity of the aliens. At one point during this sequence, Iron Man is injured and Thor and Captain America go to his rescue, and Iron Man wakes up and asks "What's next?" Although Whedon and Downey Jr. improvised a few versions of that exchange, including one where Iron Man asks, "What happened? Please tell me nobody tried to kiss me." Also, they have to check Iron Man's pulse, which is difficult with his armor on - so they check his chest for breathing. And in that scene the Hulk is stomping in the background, after having just caught Iron Man "in his fall from the skies." Iron Man "actually enjoys setting off the Hulk, to the dismay of his team-mates." Meanwhile, Thor "struggles with tact around those he considers inferior (which is everyone)." EW also has a bunch of quotes from the actors. Let's start with Marc Ruffalo explaining how Bruce Banner fits into the team: "He's the most – guy, but a total loose cannon. No one wants to set him off except for Iron Man... who just wants to see him pop. It's funny, there's a really cool dynamic between Tony Stark and Banner. Banner actually enjoys it, and finds it really refreshing. They're a lot alike in a strange way. They're both these kind of scientists who are mavericks, kind of renegades. Banner, for all his mild-mannered mythology, he's still the dude who was testing some pretty crazy s–t on himself, so he has that rebel streak in him." Jeremy Renner also notes that Hawkeye is the only hero who can really control the Hulk, because he has special tranquilizer-tipped arrows. He also says that Hawkeye and Black Widow, as the only completely normal humans on the team, have a history and bond that predates the movie. Also, Chris Hemsworth confirms that Loki's status as the villain gives this an added dimension for Thor: "I think [Thor's] motivation is much more of a personal one, in the sense that it's his brother that is stirring things up. Whereas everyone else, it's some bad guy who they've gotta take down. It's a different approach for me, or for Thor. He's constantly having to battle the greater good and what he should do vs. … it's his little brother there. I've been frustrated with my brothers at times, or family, but I'm the only one who is allowed to be angry at them. There's a bit of that." There's a ton more at the link. [EW] Tom Hiddleston promises that we will see Loki fight every superhero, and he also reveals which is the toughest: "The fun thing about Loki is that he goes 1-on-1 with every single Avenger. Loki has become so menacing that they all have to team up and overcome their differences to stop him. I think I can dismiss the mere mortals, so Captain America may be a super soldier but he's still a man and he's up against Loki, who's a God. I think Iron Man's blasters hurt a bit...But I think it comes down to his thunderous brother. No one is harder to fight than his brother because there's all that angst within him. Thor still comes out on top."

Skwirl posted:He's a Captain, he's earned those stripes (I don't know what actual Captain stripes are supposed to look like.) You're probably not that far off actually. They don't look like that at all but the insignia for Captain in both the Army and Marines is two silver bars. Again it looks absolutely nothing like on the costume, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reasoning for the silver on the shoulders.

I dunno man. Cap can't get drunk with regular amounts of booze, Tony Stark is a functional drunk, and Thor is loving THOR. I bet Banner shows up, throws back a few, and then Hulks out and eats seven kegs.

Black Widow would win. One reason is that she's Russian. Another is she's a girl and this is a Joss Whedon film.

My friend's convinced Tom Hardy did steroids for the Batman role. He showed me a picture of Hardy as Bane with his back covered in roid acne. I told him maybe it's makeup since Bane basically uses steroids but he said he said it looks a little too real.

I really like the idea/implication that hawkeye and his seemingly-useless bow and arrow are around just in case they need someone to shoot an adamanatium tipped tranq dart into Hulk's fat neck. It's a pretty plausible explanation for having 'bow guy' alongside the gods and scientific marvels. And then of course he saves the day by tranqing out a super skrull or whatever

Sorry to break it to you, but almost all actors who get in shape for films like this do (legal) steroids as part of their routine. They may not be what you think of as "steroids" but that's just because they're not outlawed by the government yet. Even if Hardy was a big guy before, you can be assured he was given supplements by his personal trainers that helped beef him up more.

"How I Learned to Love the Hulk" Is the best issue of the Ultimates. That tuned to the not as serious movie characters would be one of the most bombastic things ever put to film.

Maybe he's taking roids to beef up and get in character. What is Bane really, other than a very smart juicer?

I'm kind of surprised that JMS has never got any of his original comic stuff turned into a movie/series considering all his Hollywood work. Even aside from the original stuff, his "Supreme Power" reinterpretation would be a hell of a lot of fun as an HBO series. (The first three trades' worth, anyway)

Christian Bale probably took stuff for Batman. I watched Predators not too long ago and Adrian Brody definitely juiced. Hugh Jackman probably took stuff for Wolverine.

lomzus posted:It is very silly that we live in a world where this exists. It is also awesome. I rarely read any Marvel comics, can somebody break down the Skrulls for me, if indeed they end up in the film? I know originally they were something along the lines of agents disguised as humans and heroes and such who collect information and lie in wait to bust out when the Skrull force invades, and I'm sure I could look up that particular plot line on Wikipedia, but is that all they do? Is it possible to have a film using them without finding out characters from previous films were Skrull agents all along? Like, is it probable we'd find out Happy Hogan and Kat Dennings' character were Skrulls all along?

feedmyleg posted:It is very silly that we live in a world where this exists. It is also awesome. If they're going to do something like a film equivalent to Secret Invasion, that would be what we'd see yes. But they're also giant green guys with laser guns, and they hate the blue guys (the Kree) who also have laser guns, and both of them want to rule the earth, and are constantly at war with each other. So we could see something like that too. I still don't believe there are any Kree or Skrull in this movie, and will continue not to believe that until we see actual proof.

If you squint the torso up kind of looks like what we would have gotten with Tim Burton's Superman, but as Kal-El instead of Jor. But much better designed. I like it well enough.
