Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, And More Talk About The Set Of Avengers 4

While we're all anxiously awaiting the Avengers: Infinity War trailer to drop tomorrow Vanity Fair still has their big cover piece going on. They talked to a bunch of different actors on the set of Avengers 4 which is rumored to wrap by the end of the year.

For Mark Ruffalo it's about seeing this coming to an end before anything gets too boring.

All good things come to an end. I've been here not as long as these other people and not in as many things. I'm really grateful for this ride, and I've had a lot of fun. These people are like a family. I mean, people have gotten married and had kids and divorced and all kinds of stuff has happened. And every time we come back, there's a really nice bond between us. But, yeah, it's sad to think of it as coming to an end for anybody, you know? Part of why I'm an actor is I get very tired doing the same thing over and over again. I've stayed away from television in part because of that. I'm a little ADHD casualty. But yeah, if it's coming to an end for some of us, that makes me sad. It's a good time to hang out with your friends and do what you love to do. I'll cry on the last day of this.

Kevin Feige talks about the prospects of not being able to see people he's working with in the past anymore now that people are moving on.

I never went to summer camp when I was a kid, but the notion of the stories you hear of summer camp where you're with people every day then it's over. That happens on every movie. I just saw Scott Derrickson for the first time in months at this event in Atlanta, and I had spent almost every day for two and a half years with him. Same thing with Joss [Whedon]. Same thing with [Jon] Favreau. Same thing with James [Gunn] until we started gearing up again. So, in a certain way, it's always like that. Up to this point there has always been a time when you get back together again. So the thought of that not happening is sad and we'll have to organize some sort of a yearly brunch.

Scarlet Johansson feels the loss of leaving the people she's been working with since Iron Man 2 and seeing newcomers like Brie Larson finding their feet in their new roles. She also teases a scene between Captain Marvel and the Hulk.

It's bittersweet to imagine not having these films to come back to. I've been living this story with these people for 10 years through ups and downs. We've built a great family. Personally, it feels like a loss. There's a gain that comes with that for each one of us. We have Brie Larson on this film. She's here before shooting the stand-alone Captain Marvel movie so we get to watch her get her feet wet for real. She's so great, but a really cute thing happened the other day where Hulk is standing next to her and Joe Russo told her to put her hand in front of Mark [Ruffalo]'s face to stop him, and she's like, "In front of his face?" And they explained, "that's where his chest is," and she looks up and yells, "I'm new! I'm new!" I'm like, "damn, girl." It's very surreal for me to watch these new cast members come in and get their feet wet and breath new life into these characters who are so iconic. I feel a lot of joy for the next generation. It's a bittersweet feeling but overall it's a positive one. I feel good about the work we've done and the work I've done.

When it came to being impressed by new co-stars Chris Hemsworth thinks Tom Holland is more comfortable less than two full movies in than he is six movies in.

I've been hugely impressed by Tom Holland and the way he's handled the transition. I didn't look that comfortable on my first three films. Literally, this is my sixth film and I'm finally feeling like I may be allowed to stick around and stay here. But he just came in and had such an ease to his performance.

Robert Downey Jr. teases the villain that is going to bring all of these characters together.

We have a fiesta theme today [on set] and I invited a mariachi band [to play for the cast]. We're working hard. I'll say particularly about Infinity War and what's next is this is our finest hour and we're having fun doing it. So you know, the beat goes on. But if I say "Thanos" to my 5-year-old, he sort of recoils a little bit. Our real ace in the hole is Josh Brolin because he doesn't lose. Thanos doesn't lose.
