San Diego Comic Con is less than a month away and Avengers: Age of Ultron is now less than a year away, so that means SDCC 2014 is Age of Ultron’s only chance to hit Hall H prior to its release. It’s always made sense that The Avengers would have some sort of presence at the event, but now Mark Ruffalo has confirmed it. While talking to Ruffalo about his upcoming release, Begin Again, he revealed that The Avengers are flying from set in London to San Diego for Comic Con, and also discussed the possibility of a standalone Hulk movie, the elements of the character he’d like that movie to explore and much more. Read his quotes or watch the interview after the jump.
When asked how he’s feeling about stepping out in front of the crowd at Comic Con, Ruffalo revealed:
“Yeah, we’re gonna go out there. We’re all flying, we’re flying from London. We’re working. We’re shooting. We’re gonna stop and get on a plane and go to Comic Con together. It’s gonna be amazing.
Even though Age of Ultron is still in production, it’s hard to imagine the whole team flying out and not bringing some footage along with them. When asked what we can expect to see, Ruffalo teased:
“There might be some cool new Hulk, Hulk-o, Hulk-o-phobia, Hulk-o-phernalia. Hulk-a-phernalia!”
Having spoken about his project picking process during our discussion about Begin Again and the importance of having a solid sсript right at the start, Ruffalo noted that that was a potential problem for him on Avengers because having access to the sсript almost wasn’t possible.
“See, the problem with those movies is they don’t have a sсript when they’re casting you and that was really problematic for me. I made a promise to myself that I would never sign on to anything before there was a sсript, and I’ve been able to stay pretty true to that, but that was a particularly, you know, rare occasion.
First Joss [Whedon] reached out to me and I was thinking, ‘Me?’ You know, ‘Why me?’ And then Robert [Downey Jr.] reached out and they’re like, ‘You know, let’s do this,’ and I [asked], ‘Well, is there a sсript?’ ‘No, we don’t have a sсript. We’re not gonna give you anything. You have to just sign on.’ I’m like, ‘Sign on to nine movies without knowing what the heck I’m gonna do?’ And so I said, ‘Joss, you have to understand, I got into trouble once doing this. I made a promise to myself I would never sign on to something without having a sсript again. You understand where I’m coming [from?]’ He’s like, ‘I totally get it, man. What if I float you maybe 20 pages of what Banner’s gonna be doing so you just get a sense of what it’s gonna be?’ And I said, ‘Would you please do that? I’d be so grateful to you and it would make this process a lot easier for everybody.’ And so he did and I loved it. And, you know, it was basically Banner’s introduction with Black Widow.”
