Question:
For @SamuelLJackson, do we get to see some cool interaction with you and Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) a few times??
Answer:
all the time, but it's sorta contentious.
Question:
To Mr. Whedon, how many #Avengerscomics did you read as reference for this movie?
Answer:

Question:
@twhiddleston@SamuelLJacksonWhat was your biggest challenge in playing Loki and Fury in the #Avengers?
Answer:

CG with the Whedon Wizard at @avengerstweet chat
Very diff dynamic in IM, Thor and Avengers, diff heroes, more layers to Coulson's world/powers revealed
Question:
For JW: Is the movie's plot going to reference any classic Avengers stories or be a more "ulitmate-ized" story?
Answer:
"It's a combo platter: classic, Ultimate, plus a little "Richie Rich" & "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."
Question:
For JW, was there an Avenger you wanted to put in the movie but couldn't make it work for whatever reason be it budget or time? #Avengers
Answer:
"I'm a fan of the Wasp. She's goofy and sting-y."
Question:
@twhiddlestonWere the stunts more difficult this time around in The Avengers as opposed to Thor & how'd u prepare for them?
Answer:
More stunts. More training. Day in, day out. Running, jumping, flying, twisting. We worked like athletes. It was really fun.
Question:
@SamuelLJacksonHow much of your portrayal is based on comics Nick Fury and how much of Nick Fury is based on you?
Answer:
there's a lot of Nick Fury in me already.
Question:
@twhiddleston@SamuelLJacksonWhat was your biggest challenge in playing Loki and Fury in the #Avengers?
Answer:
The biggest challenge was magnifying his menace without losing touch of his emotional truth. Keeping his chaos honest!
Question:
@SamuelLJacksonWill we get to see any background on Fury?
Answer:
not yet.
Question:
For JW: what about the Spiderman cameo in #Avengers?
Answer:
"There is no Spider-Man cameo. But the Avengers do turn off the dark."

Question:
@SamuelLJacksondid the eyepatch throw off your depth perception?
Answer:
not at all, there was a new memory factor involved.
Question:
@twhiddlestonYou’ve said that in you listened to Prodigy for Loki. What did you listen to this time to get rdy for the #Avengers?
Answer:
"Archangel", by a band called Burial. And not a little of Hans Zimmer's soundtrack compositions.
In all honesty, yes. Sometimes you wake up feeling warm and sunny, but the scene requires hatefulness and spite.
Question:
@twhiddlestonwhat kind of relationship do you have with other actors on the set of "The Avengers"?
Answer:
Nothing but love... It wasn't called Group Hug for nothing!
You have to reach deeper. And stay aware of the fact that the emotions are true, but they're not mine.
