Tom Hiddleston’s Avengers Hug
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Disney, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases
Tom Hiddleston felt like he was having a "group hug" on the set of The Avengers.
The British actor portrays his Thor' character Loki in the forthcoming Marvel comic book movie, and while the film's big cast - including Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth - was slightly intimidating at first, he admits the group got along famously quickly.
"For the first 10 minutes after you meet them, they have the wattage and charisma of movie stars. Then you have a coffee with them and you realize we're all the same, we're all just people. All of the actors in The Avengers are so nice. Marvel has these code names for projects and the code name for The Avengers was Group Hug. It felt very much like a group hug on set."
Tom - who is the villain of the film - admits his favorite part of the movie was getting to do his own stunts: "My favorite moment on set was filming at a NASA location the size of a cathedral. I flew around like a trapeze artist in a rocket-testing facility in the company of Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Renner. That was a pretty good day at work."

Scarlett Johansson’s Iron Man Fight
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Casting, Upcoming Releases
Scarlett Johansson says she fought hard for her role in Iron Man 2.
The 25-year-old actress - who plays sexy Russian spy Black Widow in the superhero movie - admitted she actively campaigned for the part after actress Emily Blunt dropped out because of scheduling conflicts.
“I was a huge fan of the first movie and was quite ‘geek-ed’ out at being part of the second one. I just wanted to be a part of Iron Man so I really researched the comic books and came in with some ideas of my own about how to develop the character. I see her as being determined and ambitious,” she said.

Robert Pattinson could soon be playing grunge rocker Kurt Cobain in a biopic of the musician’s life. The 23-year-old actor has reportedly been in talks about the project with Courtney Love, Cobain’s widow and a producer on the biopic.
“Courtney has agreed to the film on condition that she gets to decide the main aspects of the project including director, casting, screenplay and music,” a source said. “Robert has been calling and emailing her non-stop. She has been a bit wound up by his manners, but he is her number one choice to play Kurt.”
