1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,160
MAN: With the new studio set up,the way things work now,
2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,680
is there more of an opportunityfor a crossover
3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,840
here and therewith Marvel characters in the movies?
4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,360
KEVIN FEIGE: I think if you listento the characters
5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,960
that we are working on currently
6
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:14,240
and you put them all together,there's no coincidence
7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,480
that that may someday equal
The Avengers.
8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,080
I think just having
9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,520
that possibility on the horizonis something that excites all of us.
10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,040
JON FAVREAU: I'm sort of looking atthis as more than just a movie,
11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,160
but a group of films.
12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440
We drove down to Comic-Con
to premiere footage from Iron Man,
13
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,440
and we open up the front pageof a local newspaper
14
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,960
and basically it says,"Marvel rolls out the B-team."
15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,280
Now later that day,the tide would start to turn.
16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,800
All right, who's ready for Iron Man?
17
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,680
ROBERT DOWNEY JR:
Wearing the suit is one of the great
18
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,800
joys of playing Tony Stark.
19
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,000
TONY STARK: My turn.
20
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,200
SCARLETT JOHANSSON: As soon asI heard that there was a possible part,
21
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,920
I was desperate to be a part of it.
22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,320
I picked up a book one day,
23
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,560
and it's like,"Oh, wow. Hey, I'm Nick Fury."
24
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,920
I got my eye on you.
25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,280
It all started here.
26
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,960
All these films are the road
to The Avengers,
27
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,720
then it was very importantthat they connect.
28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,120
Sir, we found it.
29
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,800
The question that we've been askedsince we announced Thor was,
30
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,000
"How are you gonna fit thisinto the universe?"
31
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,280
(LIGHTNING CRACKLING)
32
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,440
MAN: I'm not sure we could've done
33
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,720
this interlinkedMarvel Cinematic Universe
34
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,200
without Captain America.
35
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:19,320
I gotta put her in the water.
36
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,400
Please, don't do this.
37
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,240
The fact that we don'thave to end the story
38
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:25,520
just opens the doorto some really great evolutions
39
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,960
that the character can go through.
40
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,280
You've been asleep, Cap,
for almost 70 years.
41
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,840
My dream team.
42
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,560
This is the Avengers.
43
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,440
Every time you put the suit back on,you get really excited.
44
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,680
Say my name!
45
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,360
We want something newand something unexpected.
46
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,880
And that's what led us last yearto announce Guardians of the Galaxy.
47
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,560
Sometimes you gotta run
before you can walk.
48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,000
I am Iron Man.
49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,840
NARRATOR: Tony Stark'sdeclarative statement
50
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,080
set the groundwork for whatwould become a much larger story.
51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,360
Marvel Studios had a vision.
52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,640
A single universeinhabited by heroes and villains
53
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,120
across multiple feature film franchises.
54
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,440
When we started Marvel Studios,the self-produced films,
55
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,400
we got financingto make movies ourselves.
56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,320
Avi Arad was the head of
the studio at the time,
57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,440
and did a tremendous job.
58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,920
We wanted to control
the destinies of our characters.
59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,680
We wanted to decide
60
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,120
when, how, and which ways we wouldbring them to film entertainment.
61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Some of the biggest characters
from Marvel comics
62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,240
were already tied up,
Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men.
63
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
So the idea of Marvel Studioscoming along
64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
and launching itself,this sort of upstart mission,
65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,400
but doing it without their biggest guns,
66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,040
there was some skepticism.
67
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,880
There's a big library that we have.
68
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200
All we had to dois take the best of it.
69
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,240
We were tasked with doing
two movies right off the bat.
70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,640
We chose Hulk because we believed
71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,640
that there was more to be showcasedout of the Hulk character.
72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,920
And we chose Iron Manbecause we believed
73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,080
in the content, and the concept,and the comic.
74
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,840
He's a complicated figure.
75
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,600
And I think he kind of represents
the dark side in all of us,
76
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,720
and that hope that we all
overcome our own demons.
77
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,240
I had my eyes opened.
78
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,840
I came to realize
that I have more to offer this world
79
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,760
than just making things that blow up.
80
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,280
DAN BUCKLEY: It's a huge reflectionof how Marvel tells stories.
81
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,920
People relate to Tony.
82
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,720
He's a billionaire,
but they still relate to him
83
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,360
'cause he's laying out hispersonal problems, his relationships.
84
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,920
It's one of our mostinteresting characters,
85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560
and it's our burden to convincethe rest of the movie-going public
86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,760
that that's the case.
87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,240
We went out to I think
about 30 writers on the first film,
88
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,360
and they all passed. No one was
interested in writing this movie.
89
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,280
So we just kept sending outthis packet and a letter.
90
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,920
Iron Man's a character,60 years of history,
91
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,360
one of the mainstays of Marvel.
92
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass.
93
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,120
When it came to looking for
a director on Iron Man,
94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Jon's name popped up and said,
"We have to meet.
95
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,560
"There's something interesting there."
96
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,920
He deserves a lot of creditfor signing up with this new studio
97
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,920
that, yes, we had producer credits
98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,280
and we had involvementin those early Marvel movies,
99
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,720
but ultimately, we're an independentstudio with a bond company
100
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,280
that had never made a movie before.
101
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,080
KEVIN FEIGE: David Maisel hadcome up with this whole financing idea
102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,440
that we could put together a big slate,
103
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,960
doing it from the ground floor up,all in-house at Marvel,
104
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,880
and it was all slowly coming into focusduring Iron Man 1.
105
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,480
They had a fund,
and we had exactly that much money,
106
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,800
and you had exactly that much time,
and we had a release date.
107
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,240
But nobody expected too much of it.
108
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,840
There was a sense that,if we didn't pull it off,
109
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,560
the studio wouldn't be around anymore.
110
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,040
And the fact thatit's Marvel Studios' first film,
111
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,760
and it's not big Hollywood studio,so it's really a big independent movie.
112
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,400
You know, Marvel has shownthat these types of movies
113
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000
could be very successfulat the box office
114
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,640
without having a big name driving it.
115
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,040
So, as a filmmaker,I was able to cast the movie
116
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,760
as I would for a movie I'd love to see,
117
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,000
whether it was a small independentmovie or a big Hollywood movie.
118
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,960
I assure you, the day
weapons are no longer needed
119
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,800
to keep the peace,
I'll happily transition
120
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,480
to manufacturing bricks and beams
for baby hospitals,
121
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400
making hemp pants and the like,
but until that time, can I get you a drink?
122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,040
FAVREAU: Ever sinceRobert was announced
123
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,920
as being Iron Man and Tony Stark
124
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,400
people really dug the idea
125
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,120
at least in the fan world,who knew what Iron Man was.
126
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,800
And I think people who didn't knowwho Iron Man was,
127
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,960
was intrigued by anythingRobert would be involved with.
128
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,920
The only time I've ever gone upto somebody at a restaurant
129
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,360
was when I saw Kevin Feige after
they announced Robert Downey Jr.,
130
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,680
just to say,
"Kevin, that was the dopest move ever."
131
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,480
It explained everything about themovie that needed to be explained.
132
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,040
It explained their intent,
133
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880
the integrity they had aboutwhich actors they were going for,
134
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,920
and it was a real sea changeonce Kevin took over.
135
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,240
And he said, "That's the first decision
136
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520
"I got to makeas the head of the studio."
137
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,840
I really took note of it.
138
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,720
Playing someone who's conflicted,and conflicted for the right reasons,
139
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,440
and doesn't see the potential
that they have,
140
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,160
and then starts living in accordance
with a code,
141
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,480
is a great old-fashioned theme,but I hadn't ever imagined
142
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,200
that I could be involved in somethingthat demonstrates it on this scale.
143
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,720
And you know,
stock brokers coming up to me
144
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,040
and taking off their tie and going,"Tony Stark, man,
145
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,600
"let me tell you, in the issue 117,
146
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,880
"the guy..." You know?
And I'm like, "Wow."
147
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,280
Robert knew what a big opportunity
it was to be cast in this role.
148
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,560
I just finally know
149
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,160
what I have to do.
150
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,520
STEPHEN BROUSSARD:
And it was a redemption for him
151
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,360
in the same way that Tony wasin many ways.
152
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,640
I think there's a destinyto just about everything.
153
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,440
All the guys you see down this row
154
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,320
are pretty much the reasonI'm here today.
155
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,440
So I'd like to thank themfor giving me a great opportunity.
156
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560
FAVREAU: Then the other castfell into place very easily,
157
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,960
'cause people seemed to like the ideaof working with him and I together.
158
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,360
Like that was interesting to them.
159
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,200
People who wouldn't normallydo that kind of movie,
160
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,080
like Gwyneth, were reaching out.
161
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,080
I actually don't think that you
could tie your shoes without me.
162
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,200
I'd make it a week.
163
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Really?
What's your social security number?
164
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,120
When she'd agreed to be in the movieand she came into Jon's office,
165
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Jon started crying
because he was so happy
166
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,280
that he knew he had the rightcentral elements to his movie.
167
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,120
And then she was like, "Oh, baby."
168
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,680
And then she started crying
about something else,
169
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,600
and then we're all sitting there,like, weeping.
170
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,360
You'd have thoughtwe were getting ready
171
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,720
to do some really important,
like, Merchant-Ivory movie.
172
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880
The fact that Robert was playing Tony,
173
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,520
I thought, was so incredible,
174
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,560
and he's always beenone of my favorite actors
175
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000
and always been somebodythat I wanted to work with.
176
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480
I committed to the movie
without ever reading anything.
177
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,560
It was just Jonexplaining the character,
178
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,880
explaining how the relationshipswere gonna be,
179
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,000
and kind of askingfor that trust, that leap of faith.
180
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,960
I'm glad I ended up doing it
181
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,400
'cause it was a great experience
and it was a great movie.
182
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,080
-Miss Potts?
-Yes?
183
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,360
Can I speak to you for a moment?
184
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,080
I'm not part of the press conference,
but it's about to begin right now.
185
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,600
I'm not a reporter.
186
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,000
I am Agent Phil Coulson, with the
187
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,880
Strategic Homeland Intervention,
Enforcement and Logistics Division.
188
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,720
That's quite a mouthful.
189
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,520
FAVREAU: He had a government man,Agent Coulson,
190
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,360
and we were like,"Oh, he should be from S.H.I.E.L.D."
191
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,480
We were having fun with it.
192
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,680
So I was thrilled when I got a call.
193
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,400
And then, at that point in the script,
194
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,120
the role was just a couple of scenes,
and I was nervous
195
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,960
because as a veteran of doing movies
where you play in a couple scenes,
196
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,440
if anything's gonna get cut out,it's not gonna be Gwyneth or Robert,
197
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:33,520
it's gonna be you.
198
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,000
And yet, I just could not resist.
199
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Luckily, that characterseemed to really fill a need.
200
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:42,520
I think he helped lay the groundwork
for this whole S.H.I.E.L.D. role.
201
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,800
You'll be hearing from us.
202
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,440
From the Strategic Homeland...
203
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,960
Just call us S.H.I.E.L.D.
204
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,200
FEIGE: As we were inproduction on the film,
205
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,480
the idea of a Nick Fury cameo
started coming up.
206
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:57,280
And it frankly started with a cold callI got from Sam Jackson's agent
207
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,120
saying, "Hey, anything for Sam?"
208
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,800
"Actually, you think
he'd wanna do a cameo?"
209
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Sam loves comics,he's read comics, I think, his whole life,
210
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,920
and he was well aware that
211
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,400
he was the inspiration for the Nick Furycharacter in the Ultimates series.
212
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,280
SAMUEL L. JACKSON: When I wasa kid, Nick Fury was a white guy
213
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,560
running through the jungle witha whole bunch of other white guys.
214
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,640
And then he was David Hasselhoff.
215
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,720
And then I picked up a book one dayand it's like, "Hey, that's me."
216
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,560
I was, you know, all in favor of it.
217
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,440
When we contacted his peoplewe were like,
218
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,600
"We need him for half a day."
219
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,800
No one was supposed to know.
220
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920
We didn't even let him walkfrom his trailer to the set.
221
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,400
We drove his car onto the stage,
parked it next to the set.
222
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,080
He got out, went right onto the set,did this thing, got back in the car,
223
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,120
drove back to his trailer.
224
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,400
We were so convincedthat no one's ever gonna find out,
225
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,920
it's gonna be such a secret.
226
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,760
But it was so cool and such big news
227
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,240
that by Monday,it was all over the place.
228
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,640
NICK: You think you're
the only superhero in the world?
229
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,240
Mr. Stark, you've become part
of a bigger universe.
230
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,520
You just don't know it yet.
231
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,480
And of course he was telling that
to Tony Stark,
232
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,480
but that was also us
telling that to the audience
233
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,840
to see how they'd react.
234
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,360
And the next week,after the film had come out,
235
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,840
there were stories everywhere aboutwho Nick Fury was, what that meant,
236
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,480
does that mean that these charactersexist within the same universe?
237
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,160
And that was what we intended.
238
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,720
They do exist in the same universe.
239
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,600
We started looking at thelist of characters we had.
240
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,760
Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor,
241
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,200
and all of the characters
in the Marvel Universe
242
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,440
that hadn't been taken yet
by other studios.
243
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,600
FEIGE: And, listen,to be honest with you, the focus was
244
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,200
make a great Iron Man film.
245
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Introduce Iron Man.Start Iron Man as a new franchise.
246
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,480
But in the back of my head I thought,"Isn't this unique,
247
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,200
"that all of these charactershappen to form one of Marvel's
248
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,760
"most popular comic series,
The Avengers?"
249
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,080
It told not only Hollywood,
but I believe the world,
250
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,720
that we are seriousabout telling great stories
251
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,920
and we have great characters,
252
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,360
and we're going afterthe best actors for these roles.
253
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Everything was coming together
all at once
254
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,160
and it had helped to pushthe envelope a little further.
255
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:54,320
We had a group of talented people
256
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,640
and we did somethingthat kind of was an unproven entity.
257
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000
It wound up being interestingand entertaining to people.
258
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,840
And the audience has driven
the success, you know?
259
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,920
That's what's been cool.
260
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,560
NARRATOR: Marvel Studioshad taken flight.
261
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,840
More and more characterswere being developed
262
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600
to take their placein this brave new world.
263
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,240
The Marvel Cinematic Universewas about to arrive.
264
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,720
What if I told you
we were putting a team together?
265
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Who's "we"?
266
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,960
After you do a first film,and if you're lucky enough
267
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,320
that the audience is sort of clamoringfor the next one,
268
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,400
that's half the work right there.
269
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,680
I mean it really is,"Okay, we've hit the tone."
270
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,880
And that gives you a lot of freedom
271
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,880
to jump into what story
you wanna tell next.
272
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,520
As we were finishingthe last couple of weeks on Iron Man,
273
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,360
maybe had one week breather,
274
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,360
and then went up to Toronto wherewe started filming The Incredible Hulk.
275
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,640
We wanted to go backto the broader sense from the comics,
276
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,360
and really the fugitive-type
277
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,440
manhunt structureof the television series,
278
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:49,720
which was just brilliant.
279
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,720
Bruce Banner learned that
maybe that monster within him
280
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,080
is something that can do good.
281
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,360
What Marvel Studios has done
is very similar
282
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,360
to what Marvel Comicsdid back in the day.
283
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,320
They built individualstories that stand on their own two feet,
284
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,160
then they found a wayto take those stories
285
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,680
and weave them into a larger narrative.
286
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,000
That's something that we haven't
been able to do in the movies
287
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,800
until the end of Incredible Hulk
when Tony Stark walks in
288
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,120
to talk with General Ross.
289
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,920
That was the first timeaudiences started to go,
290
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,600
"Wait a minute,these worlds are connected."
291
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,000
Marvel had a sense
that the Avengers were coming,
292
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,240
so we slowly introducedmore characters.
293
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,120
I guess I didn't really know what the
future would be for the Black Widow.
294
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,160
I didn't know whether
she would reappear
295
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,480
in future Iron Man films.
296
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:30,480
So to be a part of it, it's pretty exciting.
297
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,680
Final fitting.
298
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Doesn't she look great?
299
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,120
What do you think? Questions,
comments, concerns? Compliments?
300
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,560
She weighed 170 pounds
when I hired her,
301
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,800
-and then she got into shape.
-(LAUGHS)
302
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,880
There was a lot of other thingsto take into consideration.
303
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
There was Nick Fury's involvementbecause he became
304
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,720
this cross-pollinating element.
305
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,680
Contrary to your belief,
you are not the center of my universe.
306
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,320
-Yeah, I get it.
-I have bigger problems than you
307
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,080
-in the southwest region to deal with.
-Okay, okay.
308
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:58,120
My purpose is to come inand actually give more or less a history
309
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,960
of who Tony Stark's dad was
310
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,680
and what his position
in the Marvel Universe should be.
311
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Clearly you knew my dad
better than I did.
312
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,720
As a matter of fact, I did.
313
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,440
He was one of the founding members
of S.H.I.E.L.D.
314
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,600
What?
315
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,160
JEREMY LATCHAM: Howard Starkis an integral figure
316
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,320
in the Marvel Universe.
317
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480
He's kind of the godfatherof the whole thing.
318
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,600
He worked on Captain America's
super soldier program.
319
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:20,160
He was associates with Nick Fury.He's an important figure.
320
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,000
You know, we had the ideaof reaching out to John Slattery
321
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,680
and he only worked one day on
Iron Man 2.
322
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:24,760
It's a pretty integral day
323
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,120
considering how much he's gonnahave to tie this whole world together.
324
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,600
One day you'll figure this out.
325
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:31,040
And when you do,you will change the world.
326
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:34,520
The biggest challenge
is acknowledging prior events
327
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,040
in the Marvel Universe,
328
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,240
and how can we be smart about
planting seeds for future stories.
329
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,800
-I've been reassigned.
-Huh.
330
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Director Fury wants me in New Mexico.
331
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,040
-Fantastic. Land of Enchantment.
-So I'm told.
332
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,880
-Secret stuff?
-Something like that.
333
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,120
At the end of it,I think I turned to Kevin Feige
334
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,480
or Louis D'Esposito and just said,
335
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,280
"What's in New Mexico?"
And they're like, "Oh, oh, Thor."
336
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,680
"You're in Thor.
Did anyone tell you? You're in Thor."
337
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,440
And that was how I found out.
338
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,840
The Marvel Universe,
it's called a universe for a reason.
339
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:00,960
It's a big place.
340
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,200
So we wanted to goto a cosmic level with Thor.
341
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,040
CHRIS HEMSWORTH:
He's from a place called Asgard,
342
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,480
which is within the Nine Realms.
343
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,680
And he's the God of Thunder.
344
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,200
He has a weapon called Mjolnir,which is a big hammer.
345
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,120
His father banishes Thor
out of Asgard down to Earth,
346
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,880
and he strips the hammer from him.
347
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,560
You can well imagine that if a hammer,
apparently evidencing
348
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,520
extraordinary power and unliftable,
349
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,160
arrives on Earth, then S.H.I.E.L.D.
is going to be interested.
350
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,880
Here I stand in New Mexico,
where an anomaly has taken place.
351
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840
Agent Coulson is summoned
to investigate
352
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,320
and find out if there's anybodywho's potentially worthy of recruiting.
353
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,720
I think the humor in all the Marvel films
354
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,760
allows people to buy into
the fantastical kind of world.
355
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,680
Any chance you get to kind of laugh,
356
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,000
it takes the pressure off of
having to believe that
357
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,480
there's a guy with a big hammer
and a red cape flying around the place.
358
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,440
FEIGE: In Thor, you are introduced
359
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,360
to a character who you reallywon't meet until The Avengers.
360
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,480
But we do tease.
361
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,680
Clint Barton, Hawkeye.
362
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,120
I had shot a scene speaking to
a then uncast Clint Barton in the crane,
363
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,560
and to see those scenes cut together,
and suddenly I had a scene
364
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,600
with this actor whose work
I like so much, was a real thrill.
365
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,800
All right, show's over.
366
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,320
You know, on the first film,
as Thor rose to become the hero,
367
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,960
his brother, Loki,descended to become the villain.
368
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,240
Let me explain to Father.
369
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,560
Father is dead.
370
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,360
What?
371
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,400
The burden of the throne
has fallen to me now.
372
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,080
VICTORIA ALONSO:
Loki is the one character
373
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,560
that everyone loves to hate
and they hate to love.
374
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,840
Loki is this lost, damaged prince
375
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,840
struggling to find a placewithin the family,
376
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,640
struggling to find a placewithin the universe.
377
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,320
What I did find exciting
378
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,520
was seeing the formative momentsin this origin story
379
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,520
of a Loki who could then fire off
into other Marvel movies
380
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,400
with the audience knowing
from whence the potential for evil came.
381
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640
For people that are familiar
with the comics,
382
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,000
they know about some
of the MacGuffins that people are after.
383
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,680
At the endof Thor, we introduced the Tesseract.
384
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,640
Legend tells us one thing,
history, another.
385
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,440
But every now and then,
we find something that belongs to both.
386
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,400
Well, I guess that's worth a look.
387
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,920
Well, I guess that's worth a look.
388
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,000
That is the Tesseract.
389
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,280
That is a source of
a kind of super nuclear power
390
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,760
which will give the holder of that powera kind of unlimited capability.
391
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,800
It fit perfectly into sort of the structure
that we were working on across films.
392
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,840
We knew that it had cosmic origins,
393
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,000
and the only cosmic elementthat we've introduced
394
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,560
this far into the Marvel CinematicUniverse is Thor,
395
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,160
is Asgard, is the Nine Realms.
396
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,280
So we started saying,
"What if that's where it came from?"
397
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,440
HIDDLESTON: In Captain America,
Red Skull tried
398
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,840
to become a kind of superpower
with this Tesseract.
399
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,160
FEIGE: The origin of Steve Rogers,of Captain America,
400
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,880
is inherently in World War II.
401
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,800
I love the period, I love the designs,
402
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,640
and the clothes, and the technologyand everything.
403
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,040
And I wanted to prove
404
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,880
that you could makea period action film
405
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
and have it be as exciting
as a contemporary one.
406
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:08,160
So we decided,
407
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,040
we're gonna make a 1940s
adventure superhero movie.
408
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:13,840
You know, in hindsight,
it was a great decision.
409
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,560
But at the time,
it was controversial internally.
410
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,200
But what was great about thatis we got to spend
411
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,440
the entire first act with skinny Steve.
412
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,160
Steve Rogers was a product
of something called Project Rebirth,
413
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,600
the search for the super soldier,
414
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,040
which was a secretgovernment research program
415
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:29,720
designed to unlock the potentialthat we all have.
416
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,920
A lot of superheroes
are either born with their abilities
417
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,240
or they get them by accidents.
418
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:38,080
This was a normal guy who lived themajority of his life as a normal guy,
419
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,320
and he's chosen because of his values
420
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,880
and his morals,and being noble and honorable.
421
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,440
FEIGE: Everything that the military does
422
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640
in the Marvel Universe after that is anattempt to recreate the super soldier.
423
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,280
We've already seen in
The Incredible Hulk,
424
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,640
Bruce Banner turning into the Hulk,
425
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Emil Blonsky turning intothe Abomination.
426
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,520
Those were all attempts
at replicating what Steve Rogers was.
427
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:06,880
Mr. Stark.
428
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,120
Dominic Cooper playing Howard Stark
429
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,120
was one of the most crucial piecesof casting in the film.
430
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,400
DOMINIC COOPER: It's difficultto precede Robert.
431
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000
He's got such an amazing performance.
432
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,880
He enriches it and makes itall sound extremely truthful.
433
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,320
Dominic did a great job
of just kind of feeling like,
434
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,480
"Oh, that seems like the loinsfrom which Tony sprung."
435
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,160
It just shows you a complex tapestry.
436
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,040
The structure offers our fans
an interconnected world
437
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,920
where continuity is important.
438
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,520
Cap, who's the leader of the Avengers,
working alongside of Tony Stark,
439
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,880
knew Tony Stark's father.
440
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,480
And his shield, his mostvaluable possession as a weapon,
441
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,400
was given by Howard Stark.
442
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,680
That's what keeps us going
as filmmakers.
443
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,960
A noble act on Steve's part
causes him to be lost.
444
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,000
And we soon find him,
445
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,520
which is what takes usinto modern day with The Avengers.
446
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,760
You're here with a mission, sir?
447
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,400
I am.
448
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,200
Trying to get me back in the world?
449
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:10,520
Trying to save it.
450
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,480
NARRATOR: The stage was set.
451
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,920
Even after seeingseveral early successes,
452
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,800
the creative teamstill hadn't played their biggest card.
453
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,640
ROBERT DOWNEY JR:
Marvel Studios is going to take
454
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,080
all of their top superheroes
455
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,600
and they're gonna put them all togetherin The Avengers?
456
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,720
That's the most ambitious movieI've ever seen.
457
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,560
I think what resonates
with these characters
458
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,840
in popular culture is the humanity.
459
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,360
And you see yourselvesin our characters.
460
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,520
A Marvel comic that was
one of my favorite was The Avengers,
461
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,320
because it took some of my favoritesfrom Thor and Iron Man
462
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,680
and it put them all togetherin one comic,
463
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,760
like, you get them all for 25 cents.
464
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,120
I very muchfollowed the Marvel Universe
465
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,200
and took it very seriously.
466
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:55,960
And when I heard that all this
was kind of leading up
467
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,000
to an Avengers movie, I have to admit,
I was pretty excited.
468
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,280
I just really enjoy
when they create a world
469
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:02,600
that you can kind of escape into
for a little bit.
470
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,680
Avengers, the movie itself,changed everything.
471
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,600
JOSS WHEDON: What they had donein the movies before
472
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,960
was obviously extremely informative
and useful and fun,
473
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,800
but there's also the element of,"Okay, you have all these parts,
474
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,000
"but how can you possiblybring them together?"
475
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,640
S.H.I.E.L.D. popped up in other movies.
476
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Sam Jackson has come inand been cool
477
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,520
for about two minutesand then disappeared.
478
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,360
Well, this is really the moviewhere we get to see
479
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,760
why he would ever thinkthis was a good idea to form this team.
480
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,680
JEREMY RENNER:
What a massive challenge.
481
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,080
Impossible, really, in so many ways
482
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,720
to really assembleall of these characters.
483
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Nick Fury seems to trust you.
484
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,120
But now we need you to come in.
485
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,560
What if I say no?
486
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,680
I'll persuade you.
487
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,000
LATCHAM: Banner is a complex
character, and he's a tough character.
488
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,880
As Mark Ruffalo saidwhen he first got cast,
489
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,200
it's like this generation's Hamlet.Everyone takes a shot at it.
490
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,680
And I thought it wasa funny way of looking at it.
491
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,560
They enlist him as a scientist
492
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,320
to help them track down
this energy source
493
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,000
that the Tesseract is giving off.
494
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,720
If there was any tampering,
sir, it wasn't at this end.
495
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,880
"At this end"?
496
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:03,960
Yeah, the Cube is a doorway to
the other end of space, right?
497
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,320
Doors open from both sides.
498
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,080
In order to need the Avengers,
in order to need to assemble this group,
499
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,880
it has to be a day unlike any other,
500
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
when a threat appearsthat no single hero could defeat.
501
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,440
And in our film, that villain is Loki.
502
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,840
LOKI: The Chitauri are coming.
503
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,080
Nothing will change that.
504
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,440
What have I to fear?
505
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:27,960
The Avengers.
506
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,400
That's what we call ourselves.
We're sort of like a team.
507
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,680
"Earth's mightiest heroes"-type thing.
508
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840
So we've made this movie
called The Avengers,
509
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,360
and the question burningon everybody's lips when we started is,
510
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,480
"What are they avenging?"
511
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,800
CLARK GREGG: I got this call from
Kevin Feige and Lou D'Esposito
512
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,720
saying, "Listen, you have
a really big part in The Avengers."
513
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,800
And I said, "That's awesome!"
514
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,480
'Cause I figured, well, come on,all those big movie stars.
515
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,440
Agent Coulson's gonna kind of pop in
and give somebody a Slurpee.
516
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,800
And they said, "No, you havea really important part. It's integral."
517
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,360
I said, "That's great guys. That's great."
518
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,680
And then Kevin said,
"Yep, what happens to you
519
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,280
"is what brings the Avengers together."
520
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:01,320
And I said, "Yeah...
521
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,360
"Kevin, is this my last Marvel movie?"
522
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,120
You like this?
523
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,480
Even I don't know what it does.
524
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,160
-(POWERING UP)
-Do you want to find out?
525
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,240
(GROANS)
526
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,960
No!
527
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Agent Phil Coulson has been,
in his own words,
528
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,640
the glue of the Marvel Universe.
529
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,240
I think suddenly Loki's power
and his malevolence
530
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,000
strikes home and they realizethat they have to
531
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,440
overcome their differences
and save the world.
532
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,560
-How do we do this?
-As a team.
533
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,680
Millions of people in this country
and around the world were watching
534
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,760
an alliance of superheroes
535
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,160
finally marshal forcesto demolish the bad guys.
536
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,320
And the result?
537
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,400
The biggest weekend
box office haul here at home, ever.
538
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,160
(CROWD CHEERING)
539
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,400
Fans have been wondering
540
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,080
and imagining if something like
The Avengers would ever happen.
541
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,520
You know, they get their wish this year.
542
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,680
That people have responded to what
comic fans have known for decades,
543
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,080
that this kind of shared ongoing sagain mythology is of interest to them.
544
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,880
That is incredibly gratifying.
545
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,280
I love comic book movies,
especially Marvel comic book movies.
546
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,360
I grew up with Marvel Comics,
and I never really matured.
547
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,400
MOYNIHAN: Jeremy Rennerwas hosting SNL
548
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,760
and I was very excitedbecause anytime someone
549
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,520
from that Marvel world comes in,
the costume department
550
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,760
looks at me like, "All right,
what are you gonna write this week?"
551
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,040
Hulk!
552
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,400
Yeah, Hulk smash. I know. I know.
(GROWLS)
553
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,960
I won't lie. I pretty much wrote it so that
they would make me a Hulk costume.
554
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,040
Marvel was one of the deciding factors
555
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,880
in how nerd culture started to spill over
and begin to eclipse pop culture.
556
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,920
Yeah, I'm here to announce
that we're building Iron Man.
557
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,760
Yes, that's the sound
of indestructible Wakandan Vibranium.
558
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,480
For me as a reader and a fan,
559
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,000
this was the stuffthat made me love Marvel comics.
560
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:59,400
If Iron Man 1 was the first in a giantAvengers assemble phase one,
561
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,840
leading up to Avengers itself,
562
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,600
Iron Man 3 is the start
of that new road into phase two.
563
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,800
How do you up the stakes
from Avengers
564
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,200
when you take the charactersthat made up the Avengers
565
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,000
and put them backinto their own franchise?
566
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,920
Well, I thinkyou have to up the personal stakes.
567
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,480
We can go deeperinto their characters in phase two,
568
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,120
and I think we did that with Tony Stark.
569
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,000
Things get more grounded
in everything that we've set up,
570
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,840
but also more complicatedand more challenging for Tony.
571
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,920
SHANE BLACK: There's an immensepower about him,
572
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,560
but he comes round and he says,
573
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,240
"No, I still have responsibility
to do the right thing."
574
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Nothing's been the same
since New York.
575
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,120
You experience things
576
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,880
and then they're over,
and you still can't explain them.
577
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,400
We've seen now whatthey go through in Avengers
578
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,560
and how they're returningto their own worlds,
579
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,080
to their own storylines.
580
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,560
Changed from that adventure
581
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,600
but now ready to proceedto the next step.
582
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,640
Phase two is all about being true
to a film being a direct link
583
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,360
to its first film,
but also to The Avengers.
584
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,600
And Thor, more than anyof the other characters,
585
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,920
went through a lot in The Avengers.
586
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,280
The entire film was about him
587
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:59,600
having to come to Earthto get his rogue brother back.
588
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,880
And what's great,when you have continuity like we do,
589
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,760
and when we can make another film,
and the audience is telling us,
590
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,320
"Show us what happens next,"
591
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,880
is that in The Dark World,
you get see what happens next.
592
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,960
In the immediate wake of Avengers,
593
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,440
sitting down with Kevin,and him saying, where do we go now?
594
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:14,720
That was really exciting.
595
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,000
That brother relationship is one
of the main engines of the Thor movies.
596
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:23,160
You must be truly desperate
to come to me for help.
597
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,480
You betray me, and I will kill you.
598
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,240
When do we start?
599
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,640
NARRATOR: As Marvel Studioswas unleashing epic adventures
600
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,840
onto movie screens around the globe,
601
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,240
smaller stories were being developedto expand the universe,
602
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,240
giving fans a shot to further connectwith some of their favorite characters.
603
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,640
The great thing about
the Marvel characters
604
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,040
is they continue to grow
and evolve and expand.
605
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,760
There's a lot of other stories
we wanna tell.
606
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,560
There are some characterswe wanna highlight,
607
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,040
namely, Clark Gregg, Agent Coulson.
608
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,520
And we decided to doa couple of short films.
609
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,920
It seemed like a logical step
when we were building the universe
610
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,360
to be able to go into different
nooks and crannies and tell stories
611
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240
that maybe didn't warranta giant feature film treatment
612
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,400
but still would be stand-alone
interesting stories.
613
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,120
And when youlook at the history of the comics,
614
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,080
there's great one-off booksand they're called One-Shots.
615
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,000
So we took that namefor the shorts program
616
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,440
and told these stand-alone stories
617
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,640
that couldn't exist anywhere else
but the Marvel Universe.
618
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,640
During the same call when I was told
about my impending demise,
619
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,240
I was also told about these shorts.
620
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,960
And I got the feelingthat they did wanna do
621
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,360
whatever they could to kind of let usknow a little bit more about Coulson.
622
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,640
What his daily life is like.
623
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,840
You know, just to build
the audience's relationship to him
624
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,640
in advance of what's gonna go down.
625
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,880
So we came up with the firstfew shorts, The Consultant
626
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,840
and A Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to Thor's Hammer.
627
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,480
The Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to Thor's Hammer was
628
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,440
the drive from when we last
saw Coulson in Iron Man 2
629
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,680
straight out to New Mexico
to check out Thor's hammer.
630
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,000
We found it.
631
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:53,240
What I loved about Coulson,
632
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,000
at first he seems kind of
just like an annoying bureaucrat.
633
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,160
-Who owns that car outside?
-I do.
634
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,520
But it's really more like a lease.
635
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760
As the story goes along,
to my great thrill,
636
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,360
he turns out to bea much more formidable character.
637
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,600
Sorry for the mess.
638
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,520
PEARSON: Just those action beatsthat we had in there
639
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,520
burned through 80% of the budget
for both the shorts.
640
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,680
So they came to me after I wrote
the first one, they were like,
641
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,280
"It's great, we have the budget
for two guys talking now."
642
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:28,560
So in The Consultant, I thoughtit would be cool to see a couple of
643
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,360
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents brainstorming
a way to deal with this red tape,
644
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,200
bureaucratic politics of what was
going on with the Avengers Initiative.
645
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,040
We send a patsy to sabotage
a debriefing.
646
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:39,920
-A patsy?
-Yes. Someone to screw it up.
647
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,640
Someone so inept that General Ross
will refuse to release Blonsky.
648
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:46,760
It reintroduced Sitwell,
who had a small role in Thor,
649
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,880
and it was able to tie upa pretty big thread
650
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,960
at the end of The Incredible Hulk,
when Tony Stark meets General Ross.
651
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,880
STARK: You know, I hate to say,
"I told you so," General,
652
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,120
but that Super Soldier program
was put on ice for a reason.
653
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,960
I've always felt that hardware
was much more reliable.
654
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,360
We had just seen The Avengers
so we thought about it for a while
655
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,880
and we're like,
"Man, New York's a mess."
656
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240
There's probably those guns
littered all over the place.
657
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,640
D'ESPOSITO: What if these young kidsfound the Chitauri weapon
658
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,320
the day of the big battle of New York?
659
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:20,080
WINDERBAUM: When we firstconceived of the idea for Item 47,
660
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,760
Eric was smart enough to bring in
the character of Sitwell
661
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,560
to kind of be the antagonistin that story.
662
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:30,800
(GROANS)
663
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Please stop squirming.
664
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:36,000
The Marvel Universe is so big
and it's so interconnected
665
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,800
that the smaller characterscan become more developed.
666
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,600
D'ESPOSITO: It's a short film,so obviously
667
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,040
you're restricted with money, time.
668
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200
So telling a simple story
is a great opportunity for us
669
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,240
to continue to expand other characters.
So we developed Agent Carter.
670
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,120
We know we havea resource in Hayley Atwell
671
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,160
that's being underused.
672
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,400
Captain America perishes in the ice.
673
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,600
He's not found. He's believed dead.What happens to Agent Carter?
674
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,280
PEARSON: It was fun to be able to playwith the kind of chauvinism
675
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,640
and sexism of the mid-'40s office place.
676
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,760
Luckily for her,
677
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,840
once all the men have left
for the night to go drinking
678
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,040
and she's stuck doing extra office work,
there is an alarm bell that goes off
679
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,440
and suddenly there isan emergency mission.
680
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,720
This enemy will not hesitateto use lethal force.
681
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,960
Three to five agents recommended.
682
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,400
We framed her as an amazing
superhero secret agent in her own right.
683
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,840
She's played a bigger role
in the universe
684
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,360
that you've already enjoyedthan you may have realized.
685
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,560
Tell her she'll be running S.H.I.E.L.D.,
with me.
686
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,720
Whenever we approach any project,
it's always from the perspective
687
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,760
of how can we havethe most fun with this.
688
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,000
Bloody hell.
It's not exactly The Ritz, is it?
689
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,200
All Hail the King was really conceived
on the set of Iron Man 3
690
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,320
by Drew Pearceand Stephen Broussard.
691
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,680
One of the things we wanted to do was
take the source material, the character,
692
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,280
the ideas behind the character,
and find an entirely fresh take on them.
693
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,360
I was here in America for my big break.
694
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,640
This would be the TV pilot.
695
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,920
Caged Heat. Wonderful piece.
696
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Handsome lad. Handsome lad.
697
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,520
NARRATOR: The Marvel Universewas expanding,
698
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,080
and fans could follow acrossthe movies and the short films.
699
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,240
But now, an opportunityto give fans a weekly visit
700
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,320
into the Marvel world presented itself.
701
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,000
And to launch this new series,they turned to a trusted old friend.
702
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,880
I'll be honest with you, in The Avengers,
703
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,520
as they were killing me,
there's a number of takes of me
704
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,040
looking at the camera going,
"I'm the glue!"
705
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,520
And, you know,I thought it was all over.
706
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,240
It had been quite a beautiful ride,
707
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,000
and really felt like the waythat the fans responded to Coulson
708
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,000
is kind of what breathed life
back into him.
709
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,040
I'm clearance Level 6.
710
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,440
I know that Agent Coulson was killed
in action before the Battle of New York.
711
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,960
Got the full report.
712
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,120
Welcome to Level 7.
713
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,480
We see this series as an opportunity
714
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,480
for us to tell storiesthat happen after The Avengers
715
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,960
and before Avengers 2.
716
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,480
I like to think of it
as the boardwalk
717
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:59,920
through the Marvel Universe.
718
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,440
We've seen S.H.I.E.L.D.
in all of the Marvel movies,
719
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,720
and it's always a big S.H.I.E.L.D.
720
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,360
And we're sort of isolating thatinto this team of six.
721
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,680
We go into superheroes, weird science,
things from other planets.
722
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,360
Things that can't be explained.
723
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,320
This goo, sir.
724
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,040
Very similar to the serum Dr. Erskine
developed in the '40s for the...
725
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,160
Super-soldiers.
726
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,080
We are a team
with some special talents,
727
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,480
but basically we're trying to help out
728
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,440
or investigate cases
that have not been classified yet.
729
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,920
WHEDON: Coulson understandsvery well
730
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,480
what it's like to be a normal humanin a supernatural world,
731
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,120
and so he creates a team
732
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,240
not unlike the wayNick Fury did in The Avengers.
733
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,600
That translates, in the role of people,
into someone who's not just
734
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,000
a great anchor for us emotionally
but a great leader.
735
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,280
GREGG: We're exactly the right team
736
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,360
to go around
and investigate new threats.
737
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,840
People attempting to kind of utilize
738
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,960
some of the technologiesand doorways
739
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,680
that we discovered in The Avengers.
740
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,480
And at the same time,
I got a feeling we're gonna be
741
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,160
taking care of some old S.H.I.E.L.D.
business that might pop up.
742
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,080
And pretty much anything that'sin the Marvel Comics Universe
743
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,480
is fair game.
744
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,240
Might be some kind of
cloaking mechanism.
745
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,680
Maybe it created some kind of portal.
Jumped the train there.
746
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,640
Oh, let's hope not.
I can't deal with Asgard today.
747
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,000
That's one of the goals,
is to be filling in the cracks
748
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,240
between these giant movies,
and be the piece that ties them together
749
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,080
through the throughlinethat is the Marvel Universe.
750
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120
Hopefully, as it continues, there will be
751
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,000
a little bit of weavingin and around the movies.
752
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,840
Your world is in grave danger.
753
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,080
We're inviting you,
and you're getting to meet
754
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,240
comic book elements between,like, you know, Deathlok, Lorelei, Sif.
755
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,520
It's been a great way
to get people to experience
756
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,320
the Marvel Universe
in a different fashion.
757
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,760
This is Colonel Glenn Talbot,US Air Force.
758
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,600
I need to speakwith whoever's in charge over there.
759
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,720
Move in. We have an agent down.
760
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,920
NARRATOR: While the agentsof S.H.I.E.L.D.
761
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,840
embark on new adventures each week,
762
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,360
this spring movie theaters worldwide
763
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,520
will see the return of Captain Americaas he comes face to face with his past,
764
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,680
and it will rock theMarvel Cinematic Universe to its core.
765
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,360
NARRATOR: In 2013, phase two got offto an explosive start.
766
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,520
Worldwide audiencesfueled the box office
767
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,280
for Ironman 3 and
Thor: The Dark World.
768
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,280
With the Cinematic Universecontinuing to expand,
769
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,120
a founding member of the Avengersis returning to theaters
770
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,200
in an epic new adventure.
771
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,320
I moderated the Marvel panel
772
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,280
at Comic-con this past year in Hall H,
and people went nuts.
773
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,400
I think Winter Soldier
just kicks it up to the next level.
774
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,040
The biggest challenge
is exceeding expectations.
775
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,480
Not just audience expectations,but our own expectations.
776
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Unlike Iron Man, who goes backto Malibu and to Pepper Potts
777
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,480
and to his best friend, Jim Rhodes,or Thor who goes back to Asgard,
778
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,640
Cap can't go back in time.Cap is stuck now in this modern world.
779
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,480
So more than any of the other films,
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
780
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,120
is gonna connect most to Avengers.
781
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,280
If you look at the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, what's been constant?
782
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:55,400
It's been S.H.I.E.L.D.
783
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Nick Fury is still the headof S.H.I.E.L.D. when we open the film.
784
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,400
The influence of S.H.I.E.L.D.
has expanded
785
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,000
because of what happened
in Avengers.
786
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,000
So here now is an organizationwho is built to address things
787
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,320
like the raid on Manhattanby the aliens.
788
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,680
And all of the sudden you find
Nick Fury with more resources
789
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:13,960
than he's ever had.
790
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,880
FURY: We're gonna neutralize
a lot of threats before they even happen.
791
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,800
Thought the punishment
usually came after the crime.
792
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,600
JACKSON: Captain America's still not
real sure about how the government
793
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,600
has intruded into everyone's lives,
and so we're trying to bring him into
794
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,600
an understanding of what's going on.
795
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,000
This isn't freedom. This is fear.
796
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,520
S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the world as it is,
not as we'd like it to be.
797
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,400
And it's getting damn near past time
for you to get with that program, Cap.
798
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:41,680
Don't hold your breath.
799
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,640
We get to see
those other sides of Steve
800
00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:45,880
as he navigates this world of grays
801
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,200
when he came from a placewhere it was very clear
802
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,120
who the good guys were,
who the bad guys were.
803
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,120
EVANS: I like the relationshipbetween Fury, between Cap.
804
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,640
I think they each
maybe have trust issues.
805
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,240
I think they've each
been on the front line.
806
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,880
They've seen battles and lost friends.
807
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,520
They're at odds,
as Nick often is with the other heroes.
808
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,720
But in this film, we get to see howboth Steve is changed by Nick,
809
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,640
but even more importantly,
how Nick is changed by Steve.
810
00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:11,920
Nick's mentor, Alexander Pierce,
head of the World Security Council,
811
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,480
and very close friends with Nick Fury,comes to help motivate Cap.
812
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,000
ALEXANDER PIERCE: Look out the
window. You know how the game works.
813
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:20,000
Disorder. War.
814
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,840
All it takes is one step.
815
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,160
There's a certain amount of mystery
that emerges about my character.
816
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,160
He's got a lot of dimension to him.He's really shrewd, smart.
817
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,760
I found that really appealing.
818
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,240
To build a really better world
819
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,560
sometimes means having
to tear the old one down.
820
00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:36,760
And that makes enemies.
821
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,920
Just when you think
Cap's embraced this new life,
822
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,840
the old life comes inand punches him in the face,
823
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,600
in the form of the Winter Soldier.
824
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,960
WOMAN: Most of the intelligencecommunity doesn't believe he exists.
825
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,560
The ones that do call himthe Winter Soldier.
826
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,480
FEIGE: One of the best CaptainAmerica stories in the comics over
827
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,480
the past probably 20 years is a storylinecalled The Winter Soldier.
828
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,520
And that story influenced us heavily,
obviously, being the title of this film
829
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,320
and one of the main characters
in this film.
830
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,760
It's this operatic relationshipbetween Cap and his equal,
831
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,920
who just happens to be the friendthat he thought was lost in the past.
832
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,760
Bucky Barnes was one of my
Howling Commandos
833
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,040
during World War II.
834
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,120
CHRISTOPHER MARKUS:
In the first movie,
835
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,600
when Steve rescuesBucky from the camp
836
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,040
in the middle of the movie,he's being experimented on,
837
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,880
with the idea that Bucky's
a little off and a little different now.
838
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,720
He's the one guy that actually
didn't make it back.
839
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,960
Grab my hand!
840
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,800
No!
841
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,880
He was found brainwashed,
given a very similar serum to myself
842
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,320
and is now the Winter Soldier.
843
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,720
SEBASTIAN STAN: They really revivedhim to be this assassin
844
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,480
and use him as a weapon
to target Steve Rogers.
845
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,880
We start to explore that relationship,
which is so intense and dark.
846
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,000
JOHANSSON: When we first findNatasha and Steve,
847
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,600
since Avengers they have been tasked
on many different missions together.
848
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,320
They have gottento know each other a bit.
849
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,960
You know, if you ask Kristen out,
from Statistics, she'd probably say yes.
850
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,080
That's why I don't ask.
851
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,360
Too shy, or too scared?
852
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,080
Too busy!
853
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,240
EVANS: Cap and Black Widoware very different people.
854
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,840
It's kind of like this odd pairing.
855
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,120
She has very questionable morality
and Cap's a Boy Scout.
856
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,280
We couldn't resist the idea of putting
those two characters together
857
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,760
because it's fire and water.
858
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,280
In this story specifically
it was important for us to have
859
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,720
an outsider character, a character
who didn't already work for S.H.I.E.L.D.
860
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,960
-What unit you with?
-58th Pararescue.
861
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,720
But now I'm working down at the VA.
862
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,880
-Sam Wilson.
-Steve Rogers.
863
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,240
I kind of put that together.
864
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,880
Starting in the '70s, Sam Wilson
was one of Cap's closest friends.
865
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,120
They've teamed up formany, many, many, many issues.
866
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,120
And in this movie, we've made hima part of a paratrooper team
867
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,280
from the military.
868
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,840
And it's a very sort ofadvanced flight suit.
869
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,520
(MACHINE-GUN FIRING)
870
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,320
ANTHONY MACKIE: You know,Marvel gave him a true background.
871
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,360
They made him military opsand they really made the Falcon
872
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,040
a codename
as opposed to his actual name.
873
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,720
So I'm glad that they went with that,
874
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,560
even though I was really
looking forward to some spandex.
875
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,200
With Winter Soldier,
you gotta up the spectacle.
876
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,840
You gotta up
the massive nature of this thing
877
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,160
that people are anticipating.
878
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,840
We really wanted Captain Americato be responsible for altering
879
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,560
the Cinematic Universe so that
when we meet all of our characters
880
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,320
at the beginning of Avengers 2,
things are very different
881
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,640
than when we left the charactersat the end of Avengers 1.
882
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,880
And partially that's the experiencethat Tony Stark went through
883
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,160
in Iron Man 3,
and partially that's the experience
884
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,240
of what Thor went throughin The Dark World.
885
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,520
But primarily, because of the adventure
886
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,640
that Captain America hasin The Winter Soldier.
887
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,680
CAPTAIN AMERICA:
The price of freedom is high.
888
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,600
And it's a price I'm willing to pay.
889
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,120
NARRATOR: As we journeythrough phase two,
890
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,160
audiences will next be takenacross the stars
891
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,040
where another unlikely group of heroes
892
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,240
will becomethe Guardians of the Galaxy,
893
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,200
and Earth's mightiest heroes
894
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,320
will reassemble to face a villainno single hero can defeat.
895
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:07,560
NARRATOR: With phase twocontinuing to explode
896
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,200
across screens worldwide,
897
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,520
the studio is now lookingbeyond the stars,
898
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,520
to the farthest reachesof the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
899
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,120
Guardians of the Galaxy
seemed like a good opportunity
900
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,680
to kind of go a different direction.
901
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,440
We're gonna see the world froma totally different point of view.
902
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,720
FEIGE: It does take us back
to that same mindset we were in
903
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,360
six, seven, eight years ago
904
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,560
when we decided, "Hey, we wanna
make a feature out of Iron Man."
905
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Guardians has been around for years.
906
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,560
Hardcore fans know them wellfrom the comics.
907
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,680
But really we're looking atsomething new.
908
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,240
The driving force for me
909
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,280
was to be able to create a gritty world
that was still very colorful.
910
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,720
CHRIS PRATT: The Guardians ofthe Galaxy consists of members
911
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,680
all of whom are very selfish
for the most part,
912
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,880
but they find that there's somethingworth fighting for
913
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,360
that's bigger than themselves.
914
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,080
VIN DIESEL: The growth ofthese characters
915
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,120
allows for the film to kind of create
916
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,240
its own personality and its own identity.
917
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,320
That's always fun whenyou're at the frontier of something new.
918
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,720
Who are you?
919
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,000
Star-Lord.
920
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,520
Who?
