“Marvel Studios delivers the ultimate comic-book film “The Avengers”, which ties together such characters as Iron Man which was played by Robert Downey Jr., Captain America who was played by Chris Evans, The Hulk played by Mark Ruffalo, and Thor who was played by Chris Hemsworth for a big-screen franchise team-up like no other. Taking center stage this time is Nick Fury played once again by the note-perfect Samuel L. Jackson, leader of the peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury, along with former Russian spy Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson, recruits a super team to combat Thor 's ever-deceptive brother Loki which was played by Tom Hiddleston after he brainwashes ace archer Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner while stealing a cosmic cube from an underground base. Thus the heroes must learn to work together alongside outlaw scientist Bruce Banner also known as “The Hulk” as I stated before was played by Mark Ruffalo, who can track down the artifact 's gamma signals when he 's not hulking out into a giant green monster” (“Marvel’s the avengers”, 2013).
The Director of the movie Marvel’s “The Avengers” is Joss Whedon in which has been involved in other television shows such as” Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly”. As the director, Joss Whedon was the driving creative force in this film’s production, and acts as the crucial link between the production, technical, and creative teams. Joss Whedon is responsible for creatively translating the film’s written script into actual images and sounds on the screen he must visualize and define the style and structure of the film, then act as both a storyteller and team leader to bring this vision to reality. Whedon’s main duties include casting, script editing, shot compostition, shot selection and editing (“Creative skill set”, 2013). This was the director’s overall role in the design process for this movie.
