As we know, The Avengers will now "disassemble" and return to the solo movie franchises that led up to Joss Whedon's superhero ensemble. We have Captain America 2, Thor 2 and Iron Man 3 already in the pipeline, and most likely another Hulk movie at some point too. We also know that these movies will be very much individual stories and will probably not feature cameos from any other characters. So how are we supposed to buy Cap not buzzing Iron Man for some extra firepower when his back is to the wall? Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. share their thoughts on how that might work out..
Q: Now that the Avengers have assembled, can we go back to individual stories like Iron Man 3, Thor 2?
Evans: If they can bring us together they can break us down. The real obstacle was making this happen. Going back to the individual stories — a piece of cake.
Downey: We've got it all figured out. Trust that there is a plan. And that it all makes sense.
Q: What excuse would you have not to come to your fellow Avenger's side?
Evans: There could be dozens of reasons of why you couldn't be around.
Hemsworth: Doctors, dental appointments. Family issues.
Evans: Vacations.
Ruffalo: Fighting your own battles somewhere.
Hemsworth: Lucky that's not my responsibility. But I'm sure they will come up with some sort of clever way to have this all happen.
Ruffalo's suggestion makes the most sense - surely it can be assumed that if one Avengers has some personal battles to fight, the others will too. Then again maybe a mention or a plot device linking them all would work too. What do you guys think? Would it bother you if this wasn't addressed, or is it really even an issue for you?
