Summary
- The foam Mjolnir prop used on 'The Avengers' set was a source of amusement for cast members.
- Jeremy Renner revealed the cast's initial humorous reaction to the superhero props.
- Cast members found camaraderie and lasting friendships during 'The Avengers' filming.
The iconic foam Mjolnir, wielded by Chris Hemsworth as Thor in 'The Avengers,' was initially a prop that elicited laughter from the cast. Jeremy Renner recalled how the early Marvel Cinematic Universe, still in its nascent stages, allowed for a more lighthearted approach to the superhero elements. This playful dynamic allowed actors to poke fun at the inherent 'superhero-y ridiculousness' of the props and situations.
As filming progressed, the cast's perception of Marvel's mythology deepened, and they recognized its profound importance to fans. However, for Renner, the most significant takeaway from his experience on 'The Avengers' and the broader MCU was the cultivation of strong, enduring friendships with his fellow actors.
These bonds, forged during the blockbuster's production, became more valuable than the shared experience of bringing these legendary characters to life. The camaraderie among actors like Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., and Scarlett Johansson highlights the human element behind the grand superhero narratives.
