(Downey Jr): All right! We've also got
some new heavy-hitters

joining this long bench of talent.
We would like to welcome to the Avengers family

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Quicksilver!

(loud cheers)

You loved him as Jarvis,
you must now know him as Vision--

Paul Bettany!

The man we've all been waiting for:
Ultron himself, James Spader!

And last but not least, the recipient
of the second white rose,

Elizabeth Olson as Scarlet Witch!

(Chris Hardwick): All right.

(Downey Jr): Be seated, be seated.

(loud cheers)

(Hardwick): This is good! This is good!
This is supposed to happen! (laughs)

Welcome, Avengers!
(audience cheers)

Rob Downey Jr, first of all,
may I please compliment you on

your excellent taste in music
and the Michael Jackson song

that you came out to.
(cheers)

It's an honorable groove.

So we'll just go down the line and
talk to everyone.

How do you feel, having been Iron Man for a while,
as you probably know 'cause you're you,

how does it feel being here at Comic-Con,
Iron Man, anything?

(Downey Jr): Uh, (loud cheers from audience)

It just, it just keeps getting better, and
I'm so excited that we're all here.

This is the longest bench of talent
I've ever been a part of, and we've

got a real nice movie coming up
for you guys next year. (cheers)

(Hardwick): In terms of all the films
you've been in, this is probably the first time

you're actually, I mean you're genuinely part
of this family of people now, that's ongoing.

(Downey Jr): Yeah, and I become
a little less significant every time,

which is just fine. (audience laughs)
'Cause they're all so damn good!

(Audience member): You're the
best, Robert!

(Downey Jr): You're probably right. (laughs)

- (Hardwick): Hey Jeremy, how's it going?
- (Renner): Hey man, great!

(loud cheers)

(Audience members): Hawkeye, Hawkeye, Hawkeye!

- (Renner): Yeah, I'm wearing pants!
- (Man in crowd): Hawkeye!!

(Hardwick): So, now that you've done this
a couple of times, does this seem like

old hat to you, or is it comfortable,
or still seem exciting and new?

(Renner): Well, it's always thrilling, man.
It's always like a, uh, a new--

--like if it's a Friday next week, ah
it's gonna be exciting next Friday.

It's always a brand-new, amazing thing.
I'm glad to be here. Very honored. (cheers)

(Hardwick): Every day that--(audience cheers)
--every day you go to work,

do you go, "This is strange that I get paid to
do this... every day"?

- (Renner): What I'm doing now?

- (Hardwick): No, not this. You're not
getting paid for this. No, no. This is free.

(Downey Jr): Uh, Jeremy was promised compensation.
We're gonna have to discuss this.

(Hardwick): We're gonna dp a Kickstarter!
We're gonna Kickstart Jeremy's panel. (laughter)

But I mean just, you know, getting
on with this group of people, and

essentially being a superhero for a job,
I mean, is this what you envisioned when

you were like, "I wanna be an actor"? Like,
is this anywhere near what you thought?

(Renner): Uh, no. No, no, it's been a
wonderful blessing. Meeting this guy over here,

he's the one that convinced me and
washed my car in a thong, and said

"Are you going to be Hawkeye, "Please?"
(audience laughter)

(Hardwick): All right, Michael Besa, when's he next?
(Renner): He did do that, he did do that.

He washed my car in a thong, it was amazing,
I thought it was. I don't wanna see him

wearing that shit. Um no, it was easy to
want to join. It wasn't very hard

convincing me to do it. I never envisioned
it, but I'm glad to be part of this

amazing group of humans sitting at
this table. (audience cheers)

(Hardwick): Mark Ruffalo, we did the panel
for the--(audience cheers)--When the Avengers

was first announced, there really wasn't a
whole lot of footage and we were at New York

Comic-Con, and you were on the panel, and
at the time you were like, "I don't really

understand all this Comic-Con stuff and
what this is," and you did it, and since

then, it completely blew up. Did this
exceed your expectations?

(Ruffalo): Ah... Slightly. (audience laughs)

By a huge margin, and they don't

treat me like this at home, that's for sure
when I want to talk. (laughter, cheers)

That--that's really--
- (Woman in crowd): We love you! (cheers)

That--that's really nice, thank you.
(crowd laughs)

(Downey Jr): Aw crap, just say it, Mark!
(Crowd): Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, Hulk, HULK!

(Hardwick): No, don't get him excited!
That's when it gets bad! (laughter)

You have to keep his pulse down!
- (From crowd): But we like it when he's mad!

(Hardwick): Do people shout Hulk things
at you, just out in public?

(Ruffalo): People don't even know who
I am, other than Hulk. (laughter)

I walked out in the street and it's like,
"Yo, Hulk!" (laughter) "Hulk! Hulk!"

(Hardwick): You should just go with,
"The name's Banner." And then just keep walking.

- (Ruffalo): "It's actually Banner."
- (Hardwick): (chuckles) Uh Chris, hey,

how's it going, man? (audience cheers)

You are in exceptionally good shape.
(audience cheers)

(Hemsworth): It happens, hanging
out with these guys! (cheers)

- (Downey Jr): Dang!
- (Hardwick): Stop that! (laughter)

(cheers, laughter)

That... that arm is the size of
my torso! (audience laughs)

(Woman in audience): Thor!
Take it off! (cat calls)

(Hardwick): What has Thor
meant to you all this time?

(Hemsworth): Well, as these guys said,
this is for me the same thing--one of the

best experiences I've had on the set,
off the set, to work with this group

of people and bring this character
to life and be part of this madness.

This is just an honor, of course.
(audience cheers)

(Hardwick): Is there anything that you
haven't done as Thor yet that you feel like,

"Oh, I just really want to do this thing
as Thor. I really want Thor to do this"?

(Hemsworth): Turning into a woman.
(loud cheers from audience, applause)

- (Ruffalo): Great idea, there.
- (Downey Jr): Yeah!

I don't want to speak too early and jinx
it, but I think it could be my Oscar.

(audience laughter)

It's going to be a big transformation,
but I'm willing to take it on.

- (Ruffalo): You could do it.
(Hardwick): Pause while everyone stops

and pictures you in a dress and then
has a lot of feelings.

(Renner): You'd be ugly as shit, man,
I gotta tell you, you 'd be ugly.

(Hemsworth): Ah, well...

(Downey Jr, Southern accent): Nah, he's got
that purdy girl hair, I think he'd be fiiiine.

(Hemsworth): That's alright.
I got a couple of nice weeks.

(Hardwick): Cobie Smulders also--
(audience cheers)

- (Hardwick): Hey!
- (Smulders): Hiii!!

- (Hardwick): Maria Hill!
- (Smulders): Hiii!

- (Hardwick): What are you doing?
- (Smulders): Just hanging out with a

bunch of people up here--
- (Hardwick): We talked about backstage--

- (Smulders): --a chance to get to know some people
- (Hardwick): Yeah we were talking a little

backstage about what a whirlwind this'll
be. It's basically swoop in and do this and

people scream and cheer, and then you leave.
Do you get to enjoy the Comic-Con at all?

(Smulders): Yeah, not the going-on-the-floor
or anything, but it was my first time doing

a signing with these guys. It was pretty
incredible to get to meet people and--

and sign pictures and kind of
connect for a second or so.

(Hardwick): Excellent. And could you--I
think we talked--you didn't expect that

this would keep going on and on
for Maria, right?

(Smulders): No I hoped, I hoped! Yeah, but
when Joss sort of, Joss is the one who

kind of brought me into this world and
I'm sorry he can't be here. I'm sure he

wishes he could be. But yeah, he kinda
brought me into this world and it's just

been fun, I just keep going on and on
in film and TV and I'm just so grateful.

(Hardwick): Excellent.
(audience cheers)

So Jackson, it is ah--

(audience cheers loudly)

(Jackson): I can't hear the question.
Please. (audience laughter)

(Hardwick): Does it feel good to put the
eye patch back on? Because I feel like

last time we talked about it you were
like, "I bump into stuff a lot. Because of

my depth perception with the eye patch on."

(Jackson): I was smart enough to figure it out.
(audience laughs)

I stopped running into things and I
just keep my head to the right.

It all works out fine. (audience laughter)
I've got that down pat.

(Hardwick): Good.

(Jackson): I've got that down pat, Kevin,
and you can cancel the insurance.

(laughter)

Everyone's like, "huh?" (laughter)

(Hardwick): So how do you feel? Like,
how do you think Nick Fury would react

to this type of perception?
- (Jackson): Um... You know, Comic-Con

is phenomenal. It's totally amazing.
It's like every year, (whoop from audience)

I've been coming here since like Episode I
of Star Wars. (big cheers from audience)

It seems like every year I come here,
and it validates the fact that I belong,

and I get all this energy and love
from everybody, and it makes me feel

like going out and making movies
for the rest of the year. (loud cheers)

We make movies because we wanna entertain
you guys, and I make movies because I

wanna see myself in them. (laughter)
It's the perfect combination for me!

All this love and... It just energizes me, and
I can't wait to come back next year with

the next movie. (loud cheers, applause)

(Hardwick): Now, let's go over to Chris
Evans who's--

(loud cheers)

(Evans): I don't like this going-down-the-line
thing--this is intimidating!

(Hardwick): It's very assembly-line. The
whole time you're like, "What am I gonna

say? What's my answer gonna be?" I heard
a story that I wanted to confirm from you,

and I don't know if it's true, but I heard
that when you and Hemsworth were sort of

working together that you guys were like
comparing muscle rippage, and you were like,

"But how do you get this little piece right here?"
- (Evans): There's no comparison! I mean

come on, it's very difficult to stand next
to him. He literally--he is Thor. (laughter)

It's not just a costume, he is enormous.
It's difficult to try and keep up. (laughter)

(Hardwick): How do you keep up? Like,
how long is your workout here?

(Evans): Magic! CGI! (laughter)

Stunt man and, uh, you know...

(Hardwick): Congratulations on
the success of Winter Soldier.

(Downey Jr?): Yes! (audience cheers)

(Hardwick): Do you feel like, at this
point, that Steve--the Captain's--does

he feel more acclimated to this world
yet, or does he still feel a little isolated?

(Evans): Well no, I think he's getting there.
I think we're past, y'know, he's not

amazed at cell phones and the Internet.
(laughter) I mean, I think he's up to speed,

but I think he's still looking for a place
to belong, you know? He's for so long

been a servant. It fits him, and as a
soldier he's used to this chain of command,

and since S.H.E.I.L.D. kinda fell apart
in the last movie, it's more about this

group of people depending upon
each other, without a clear leader,

and I think he's searching for home.

(Hardwick): I'd like to welcome Aaron
Taylor-Johnson. (loud cheers)

Quicksilver!

Who we'll just get a peek of, a little
bit! How has it felt, coming into this

established world with all these people
who've been working together, as the new guy?

(audience whoops, cheers)
(Johnson): Pretty overwhelming, and surreal,

and I was flattered that Joss and the Marvel
guys approached me for this. You know,

don't hesitate. It's a huge--it's incredible
to be a part of this gang of

great actors and... (mumbles, trails off)

(Hardwick): Was there anything about doing
a superhero film that you never envisioned?

What's different about it than other stuff?
- (Johnson): The Avengers?

- (Hardwick): Yeah.
- (Johnson): I think, you know, it's just

the characters--you have such a dynamic
between, you know, the group, and I think

what Joss did in the first one was--
it seemed like a mission to complete

the impossible, but everyone had their
moment, stood out, and y'know, what's

beautiful is you get these kind of
characters in the same room, and they

bounce off of each other, there's banter
and humor and has that tone where

it can be a happy journey, and then
be emotional and sad at moments, and

light-hearted and action-packed.

I thoroughly enjoy all the Marvel movies,
and I'm so excited to be a part of this one.

(loud cheers)

(Hardwick): I'm very excited to see
Paul Bettany make the jump from--

(cheers, applause)--a disembodied
voice to a man on-screen.

(Bettany): Yeah, they're now gonna make
me work for my money. (laughter)

I used to turn up to a dark room for 45
minutes and get a bag of cash. (laughter)

And now I have to work. (laughter)

(Hardwick): So how has that
experience been for you?

(Bettany): Everybody's been incredibly
welcoming and it's been--it's the most

exciting for me, it's been the most
exciting thing that's ever happened

to my children. (laughter)

(Hardwick): Do you get "cool dad"
points for this?

(Bettany): They simply had no interest
in what I did until this one. (laughter)

At last, I'm cool!

(Hardwick): And now all the neighborhood
kids are gonna be turning up at your house

and asking you to do the voice.
- (Bettany): Y'know, I've had to keep this

secret for a year and a half, and so have
my kids, which is pretty impressive,

you know, in school, that they just
didn't breathe a word out of it.

- (Hardwick): That you know of.
- (Bettany): (chuckles) That I know of.

(Hardwick): Welcome James Spader!

(cheers, applause)

(Bettany): Is it--have you been to Comic-Con
before? Is this your first Comic-Con?

(Spader): I came last year to Comic-Con for
a TV show I do called Blacklist.

(cheers)

And, you know, I just wanna say
something to all of you guys--

- (Man in crowd): (unintelligible)
- (Spader): --I've always thought my whole

life that life could never get weird or
crazy enough for me. (laughter) And I

gotta tell you something: This place may be
the weirdest crazy experience--

(drowned out by cheers, applause)

It's because of all of you guys and so
I thank you for that, because it is

really, fantastically crazy here.
(laughter, cheers)

(Hardwick): You should pat yourselves
on the back, everyone, that you are

now a part of James Spader's weird fever
dreams. (cheers)

So, what would you say about Ultron and
your approach to the role, and what you

want to bring to it?

(Spader): (laughs) I play an 8-foot robot
in this movie.

(laughter, whoop from audience)

And it was like it was--I've always
played humans up until now--

(laughter)--and shooting this film was

as startling and surprising and challenging
and exciting as coming here, truthfully,

for the first time. Doing this film was--
everything, everything was so entirely new.

The process of making it, playing this
character, all of the people, the world

that I was entering, even the world that
these movies inhabit--not just in terms of

story and place and people and so on,
but also just the part of the movie business

that these movies inhabit is
entirely new to me.

And it was just unimaginably exciting.

Just unimaginably exciting.
(cheers)

(Hardwick): Also welcome Liz Olsen--

(cheers, applause)

(Olsen): Thank you. I hate being last. It's
quite a list of people to follow right now.

(Hardwick): It is, and you're the last one.
Oh, this better be good!

- (Olsen): It doesn't feel that great.
- (Hardwick): No, it's good. So, you're

the other new character on the block,
so to speak, in terms of the Scarlet

Witch. What has your experience been
like, coming into the group and

being the new gal?

(Olsen): It's been awesome. I was first
really intimidated by all of the people

I was going to potentially work with, and
then everyone was incredibly welcoming

and it's just been so much fun. And it's
fun to bring a new element to the game.

There's now magic, there's
mutated people--

(boos from crowd)--Woah, sorry about
that. (boos continue)

(Hardwick, overlapping): What are you
oohing at? I don't even get that.

What'd everyone "ooh" at before?
(crowd noises continue)

- (Bettany, quietly): "Mutant"
- (Ruffalo): "Mutant's" a bad word.

- (Hardwick): Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
- (Olsen): But anyway, I just think it's--

- (Hardwick, overlapping): We're all the same--
- (Olsen): --yeah, I think it ends up

adding something kind of epic
to the fights, that there's just a new

element. It's not just awesome punching and...

I dunno. Now we get to do something
different, and I think it brings up

where Marvel's going with their
other films as well, having all the...

It's just like the beginning,
it kinda feels like just the beginning.

(Hardwick): When you're preparing a
character that does all the things that

she does, is it any different from preparing
if you're just playing a regular non-witch?

(Olsen): Yes. I practice daily, just staring
at a pencil and trying to get it to move.

(laughter)
- (Hardwick): Any luck making autographs?

- (Olsen): Yeah, for hours.
- (Hardwick): It's not working, though?

- (Olsen): It's what?
- (Hardwick): Is it working yet?

- (Olsen) No, it's been flying!
- (Hardwick): You should see her do it,

it's pretty cool.
- (Olsen): I'm nailing it.

(laughter)
- (Downey Jr): She actually cast a spell

on me two weeks ago, and hopefully before
this is all done, she'll relieve me of it.

(laughter)
- (Renner): It burns. (more laughter)

(Downey Jr laughs loudly)

(Hardwick): That could mean anything!
It doesn't mean--(drowned out by laughter)

(laughs, cheers, chatter)

That's on you guys!
- (Downey Jr, small voice): It burns!

(Downey Jr, normaly): We can't be
giddy this early, no. (laughter, whoops)

(Hardwick): Obviously, you've probably
noticed that Scarlett Johansson was not

able to be here, even though I know
that she wanted to be here.

(Downey Jr): Scarlett wanted to be here,
Scarlett is, right now... (fades out)

(Hardwick): I don't know how
you'd top Ultron, bad-guy-wise.

(Downey Jr): You know, the great thing
about Marvel is they've always got the

next thing up their sleeve, so, uh...

well, you know, we've got
Thanos. (loud cheers)

(Hardwick): Josh Brolin! (loud cheers)

(cheers, applause continue)

(Brolin, deep, sulky voice): Where's my rose?

(laughter, cheers)

(laughter gets louder)

(Downey Jr): We love you guys so much,
we're so excited! Thanks for coming,

we're gonna keep trying to do
our best for you. (cheers, applause)

(Hardwick): You're the best, guys!
Age of Ultron, out in May of 2015!

Please, continue to stay on your feet. A
new round of applause for the entire cast!

(loud cheers, whoops, applause)

(Hardwick): I don't know where you go
from here. It doesn't get better than

this! But I hope you guys have a nice,
safe night. So great to see you guys.

See you tomorrow on the Con--one more day!
