Silver screen and comic book superheroes Thor, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are back on the big screen this week in the long-awaited Marvel Avengers Assemble, and FILMCLUB has been chatting to some of the film’s stars at the European Premiere!

16-year-old junior reporter Naomi, who is a member of FILMCLUB – a charity which helps young people learn through watching a variety of film and about the film industry – chatted to Robert Downey Jr., who plays quick witted Tony Stark/ Iron Man in the latest Marvel comic-book inspired film, about teaming up with other silver screen superheroes - Chris Hemsworth (‘Thor’), Mark Ruffalo (‘The Incredible Hulk’) and BAFTA-nominated Brit Tom Hiddleston (‘Loki’).


Hemsworth told FILMCLUB working on the movie was a childhood dream; “It’s a lot of fun. It’s like being a kid. I remember running around pretending to have various super powers and now doing it on a film of this scale is fantastic!”

Naomi said; “Being at such a big premiere was such an incredible experience. At the start I was dead nervous but as I got into it, it got easier. And I absolutely loved the film. It was something different and not just the usual generic superhero film as there are six superheroes and one of them is a girl, which is a key thing for the girls who don’t think superhero films are for them! I really enjoyed it.”  

Check out Naomi’s Avengers Assemble interviews here.

And if you are a fan of superhero and comic-book based movies, FILMCLUB has compiled a list of some more unusual choices with a similar theme to celebrate the release of Marvel Avengers Assemble;

1.     Akira (1988, 15): Visually incredible and dramatically powerful anime set in a post-apocalyptic community, based on the "manga" comic book by Katsuhiro Otomo. Akira is bona-fide cult viewing.

2.     Persepolis (2007, 12): Adapted from Marjane Satrapi's brilliantly funny autobiographical graphic novel about a rebellious young girl's experience of revolutionary Iran.

3.     Ghost World (2001, 15): Terrific and unusual comedy about two wisecracking high school graduates who realise it's time to grow up.

4.     Mystery Men (1999, PG): Hilarious film about a group of the most useless superheroes in history, who are called on when a crazed evil genius captures the real superhero. Filled with hilarious scenes and one-liners, you might not realise how uplifiting Mystery Men is until after you've watched it - at the time, you'll probably be too busy laughing!

5.     Tekkonkinkreet (2006, 12): Stunning animation based on a popular Japanese comic set in the huge and dangerous Treasure City in which a pair of brothers fight the forces of evil.
