'Avengers' Preview: Hulk Vs. Thor Behind-The-Scenes

With Marvel's The Avengers on the perch to top the $1billion mark at the international box office in the next day or two, I would assume that there are more fans out there who have seen it than those who haven't. That said, The Daily has posted an amazing behind-the-scenes ILM featurette on the Hulk with sneak peeks at many action scenes he is in from the film.

ILM's Visual Effects Supervisor Jeff White talks about the detailed multi-layered process of bringing the Hulk to the big screen and incorporating Mark Ruffalo on set to perform live in character as much as possible, despite the fact that White approximates the Hulk would weigh in between 1100-1600 pounds in real life.

There are also some cool behind-the-scenes-pictures from the face off that takes place between the Hulk and Thor. The pics show how things can look on set when complicated special effects will be added in later as director Joss Whedon and Chris Hemsworth interact with the Hulk's bald stand-in. The finished scene has all the trapping of what fans would have ever hoped to see on the big screen with the gamma rayed rage of the Hulk battling it out against the mystical powers of the Norse God of Thunder. And let's not leave Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, out of this scuffle either.
