Instead of being 100% animated as in the other Hulk films Mark Ruffalo will be hooked up to state-of-the-art motion capture tech like what was used in Avatar, but newer.

Ruffalo describes his version of Hulk as "a loose cannon - he's the teammate none of them are sure they want; it's like throwing a grenade into the middle of the group and hoping it turns out well...."

You're aware motion capture was used in the Hulk movies, correct? There's really no major difference in the way they're going about it. It's just an advancement of previous technology they've utilized.

Those films used key-frame animation, facial dots & strobes to get expressions for the animators to track etc. and limited amounts of motion capture (much in post & not done by the actor) while this will use the Avatar-style performance/facial capture methods for most of the film using Mark Ruffalo - huge difference.

AICN report from the Disney 23 expo's The Avengers panel presentation....

THE AVENGERS (May 4, 2012)

?

Kevin Feige receives a warm welcome from the D23 audience, and further earns their respect by name-dropping noted Imagineer Tony Baxter. Smooth.

Feige wastes no time giving the crowd what they want - if what they wanted was a tense confrontation between Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston). At this point in THE AVENGERS, Loki is being held in a cylindrical containment pod somewhere in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier (this cell is strong enough to hold the Hulk, so Loki's goin' nowhere). After demonstrating for Loki what will happen if he acts up (the pod will be ejected, subjecting Loki to a perilous - if not fatal for a god - 30,000-foot drop), Fury lashes into Loki for threatening Earth with war and killing "for fun". Fury is desperate. Loki responds by taunting Fury with the "real power" of the tesseract. Finished with this conversation, Fury walks away and mutters "Let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something." It's not a mindblowingly great scene, but it's well-written and directed. So far, so good.

We then get an action-filled montage crosscut with a Stark/Loki confrontation from later in the film. Stark, in his insouciant way, gives Loki a "head count", letting the god know that he's up against two master assassins, a demigod, a living legend "who lives up to the legend", etc. Then comes the above-quoted exchange.

Loki: "I have an army."

Tony Stark: "We have a Hulk."

The audience erupts. Then Feige introduces most of The Avengers (Chris Evans is absent) and Loki. Now the audience is on their feet. Robert Downey Jr. takes the microphone and asks if they'd like to see the footage again. They do. And so with a "See you next year", the footage is replayed and the Walt Disney Studios D23 showcase comes to an end.

I'm sure many of you have been wondering when you are actually going to be able to watch the first full theatrical trailer for Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Well, it seems to have been confirmed that the trailer will show in front of Hugh Jackman's next film Real Steel.

The report comes from a Russian website called Vest and with the help Google Translate here's what they said,

Today at Saint Petersburg's Movie Expo Disney representatives have confirmed, that the first theatrical trailer for The Avengers will be attached to the release of Real Steel (the first week of October). Also, if everything goes according to the plan - then the whole cast will be in Moscow for the live premiere of the movie in May.
