they are Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
are looking at ten pieces of trivia
about 2012 The Avengers it’s what we
call ourselves
sort of like a team Earth’s Mightiest
Heroes time free number ten box office
smash our trivia list begins with a fact
about the Avengers astonishing box
office success this was the first Marvel
film to pass the 1 billion dollar mark
and since it beat the record already set
by the Dark Knight it became the highest
earning comic book film ever it was also
the first movie ever to earn 200 million
dollars in America in its first three
days not too bad for a film shot in just
92 days you and I remember Budapest very
differently number 9 the new Hulk to
design the biggest Avenger CGI geniuses
used real-life people for inspiration
the Hulk’s muscular body was modeled on
a body builder while his face was
designed to look like actor Mark Ruffalo
Ruffalo also played the green beast on
set through motion capture
so the Hulk kept the actor’s real
movements to perfect the Hulk’s familiar
voice Ruffalo’s vocals were mixed with
Lou Ferrigno’s the actor who starred in
the 70s TV series puny job number 8
Thor’s diet and costume you people are
so Petty and tiny playing a mythological
God isn’t easy to make sure he was big
and muscular enough to play the Norse
hero Chris Hemsworth increased the
amount of protein in his daily diet by
eating more chicken fish steak and eggs
this drink I like it I know that’s great
right now though his costume showed off
his powerful arms and paid tribute to
the characters earlier comic appearances
no hard feelings Point Break you got a
mean swing number 7 the Black Sabbath
shirt the t-shirt the Tony Stark wore
during the film was a gesture to the
heavy metal band Black Sabbath in 1970
the band recorded the iconic
seong Ironman while the song was not
meant to be about the Marvel character
it was connected to the hero when it
became Iron Man’s live-action theme in
the film I am Iron Man
number six Nick Fury these days the
character of Nick Fury is always
associated with samuel l.jackson despite
the fact that the original comic book
character was completely different
during the 2000s the character was
redesigned in the Ultimate Marvel
Universe to look like Jackson years
before he was even cast in the role
since then Jackson became only the
second actor to play the same comic book
superhero in five different movies after
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine until such
time as the world ends we will act as
though it intends to spin on number 5
reduced run time with a movie this
packed it’s no surprise that director
Joss Whedon’s original cut was over
three hours long to shorten it
Whedon cut half an hour of scenes about
Captain America thankfully those scenes
were not wasted they were later used in
Captain America the Winter Soldier Neil
acted a
number four location were you surprised
to see your favorite heroes travel to
Germany sorry to point this out but
those outdoor scenes were actually
filmed in Cleveland in the United States
you can tell because several of the
city’s famous landmarks are visible if
you look closely nope that wasn’t New
York City in the film either it was
actually Ohio number three the Chitauri
these alien enemies first appeared in an
alternate universe Avengers comic while
the Skrulls are far more popular enemies
in the comics Joss Whedon decided to
feature the Chitauri in his first
Avengers film as he wanted to save the
Skrulls for a sequel interestingly the
Chitauri are shapeshifters but that
ability was not featured in the film
their name comes from Zulu mythology and
describes serpents from the sky which
suits the way they were shown in the
film
number two fan oohs in this post-credit
scene the team’s future foe is revealed
to be Thanos a longtime Marvel
supervillain his name comes from the
Greek word for death coming from a
powerful alien race called the Eternals
Thanos is obsessed with the end of all
life in the universe he is searching for
a relic called the Infinity Gauntlet to
help him achieve this goal to challenge
them is too good death
number one post credit scene
Gilbert Roy shwarma there’s a shwarma
joint about two blocks from your I don’t
know what it is but I want to try it
topping off our trivia list is a fact
about another and much lighter post
credit scene here we see the gang taking
advantage of Tony Stark’s meal
suggestion this scene was actually shot
and added after the film’s LA premiere
at a local restaurant the filmmakers had
to carefully hide Captain America actor
Chris Evans newly grown beard alright
hey alright good job guys
let’s just not come in tomorrow
