It has been five long years since fans have seen the Avengers assemble, and fans surely miss the fun panel interviews with Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, and Chris Hemsworth.
One of the many unforgettable things about these types of events is the interaction between the cast members as well as the media. It’s where they show their quirky sides while responding to the most asked questions about their roles and films.
Mark Ruffalo’s Childhood Inspiration Tickled Robert Downey Jr.’s Funny Bone
While attending theAvengers: Age of UltronPress Conference in 2015, the cast of theAvengerssequel answered some personal questions from reporters. One member of the press said, “When you guys were growing up, who inspired you? Who were your big idols?” (viaHeyUGuys).
Scarlett Johanssonsaid without second thoughts, “Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing.”Chris Evanschimed in and gave his own answer, “I think we can all agree with that. I was going to go like a different way, and I was going to say my old man.”
Robert Downey Jr.’s answer was short and sweet: “Peter O’Toole.” Then,Mark Ruffalojokingly stated, “It has to be Gandhi.” The crowd laughed and Downey Jr. could not help but stand from his chair. TheIron Manstar added, “Ben Kingsley,” which prompted Ruffalo to mention “…and Ben Kingsley.”

Elizabeth Olsengushed over “Michelle Pfeiffer and Faye Dunaway.” TheWandaVisionactress could not help but swoon: “Oh yeah, those were the girls I like.”Jeremy Rennerjust mentioned “my pop” referring to his father.
The segment was so much fun especially after Ruffalo broke the tension by making everyone laugh. It was clear that he knew how to crack a joke that would make his onscreen “Science Bros” lose his mind.
How Robert Downey Jr. Convinced Mark Ruffalo To JoinThe Avengers
Many would think Downey Jr. and Ruffalo only bonded when they starred in the MCU but the two actors have been friends for quite a long time. They even starred together in the 2007 filmZodiac.

Speaking onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ruffalo shared how he came to be the Hulk in the firstAvengersmovie. At first, he was scared to say yes because he didn’t know what he could contribute to the role given that it’s been played by different actors before.
And then I got a call from Downey, it must’ve made it to him that I was hemming and hawing, and he just simply said, ‘Ruffalo, let’s go. We got this.’ In true Iron Man fashion. And then after that, I was like, ‘I guess I have to do it.’
The rest was history. It would have been a different experience for fans had Ruffalo rejected the offer. Good thing he’s got a friend like Downey Jr. who convinced him to take on the most iconic role yet in his entire career.
