The newEmpire Magazinehas a ton ofAvengerscontent includingScarlett Johanssontalking about Black Widow. Thanks toComic Book Movie:
I knew that I didn’t want to play a love interest. That’s not who Widow is. I think Joss understood the importance of having a female perspective. He’s a very sensitive guy. He works really well with women. He obviously can write for them! He loves strong and independent women and he’s got a certain understanding of, and an appreciation for, women who take charge of the situation, of themselves – so it was clear to me that the character would not be underwritten.

StuntmanTroy Brennaspoke toComicus.itabout doublingMark Ruffaloas the Hulk:
The director Joss Whedon wanted realistic movements, not exaggerated cartoon type movements. Mo cap was the best way to capture the Hulk in a somewhat “normal” transformation from Bruce Banner to the big green guy.
