"Joss Whedon has said that the stars of his upcoming blockbuster The Avengers left their egos at home when it came to working on the superhero ensemble. The Cabin in the Woods producer and co-writer told Digital Spy that the Avengers cast, which includes Marvel franchise actors Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, quickly established a trust and were eager &amp;quot;to help each other&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;The Avengers was the most ego-free set that I can remember being on,&amp;quot; Whedon said. &amp;quot;They were all in it to play, to help each other, they were having a great time, there was a lot of trust. That&amp;#039;s something one works hard at.&amp;quot; Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Whedon explained that his job was made easier by having much of the cast already established in their superhero roles. &amp;quot;In the case of The Avengers I was lucky because a lot of the movie had been cast before I came along, obviously they already had their own movies,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;Some people said, &amp;#039;Well, it&amp;#039;s going to be an egofest&amp;#039;. I said, &amp;#039;No, I think these people are actually going to be looking out for each other&amp;#039;. And they really were.&amp;quot; Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L Jackson also star in The Avengers (titled Marvel Avengers Assemble in the UK). It hits UK cinemas on April 26 and May 4 in the US. The Cabin in the Woods opens in UK cinemas on Friday, April 13. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
