BOSEMAN: (Jokingly) My character just cut an album.
He’s been on tour.
What’s the reaction between your two characters meeting each other?
How does The Hulk react to Black Panther and how does Black Panther react to him?
BOSEMAN: I have not had the opportunity to get to know him yet.
What has your dynamic been like with the rest of the Avengers?

RUFFALO: Once again, I think he’s trying to find his place in the line-up.
Those two movies couldn’t be more different in that way.
BOSEMAN: You know, that is a good question.

What can you say about the scene that you’re shooting today?
I have a question for both of you, what do your characters think of Thanos?
What does Banner and Hulk think of Thanos and what does TChalla think of Thanos?

BOSEMAN: We don’t have time really.
There’s not a long-running personal conflict for us, there are other characters who have that.
I don’t have the opportunity to do it.

It’s a little bit of a Chicken Little [scenario].
He comes in screaming bloody murder …
He’s seen what damage he can cause and how powerful he is.

That sounds like a very good Banner reaction, does The Hulk feel any differently?
RUFFALO: The Hulk is also mightily impressed by Thanos.
Have your principals since shifted in this movie?
Image via Marvel Studios
Is he doing that here?
RUFFALO: Really little, little ones.
Is he still monosyllabic in this?

There are sentences, yes.
We’re getting into like a five-year-old.
The last time we saw Banner and Black Widow together they were at a very critical moment …
Image via Marvel
I’m curious to how that might be explored in this film.
RUFFALO: Way more.
This is the first day we’ve had so many different people together.
Image via Marvel
This is the biggest cast together.
BOSEMAN: I can tell you what it feels like today …
It’s fun to see, especially because we have not had a lot of opportunities to work together.

It’s fun to listen to people tell stories.
I don’t have time to joke when we are shootingBlack Panther, it’s serious all the time.
We’re sharing the weight.
I think there is a lot of comfort in having people who are so good around you.
Are they treated like different projects when you come around to them?
And it does feel like one goes to the next and goes to the next.
It feels like a long serial which is nice, I think.
What can you say about Black Panther’s costume from this new movie?
BOSEMAN: Yes, there are alterations to the suit.
I lost a little weight so the altering … No, I’m joking.
There are alterations but I think it’s more so …
I cannot be specific about those things.
RUFFALO: This one … we’re like in new territory really.
BOSEMAN: It’s different in this one, I don’t know how to explain it.
It’s just because we’re in so many different places.
RUFFALO: And it’s so different from the comic books.
You didn’t read Infinity Gauntlet or any of those?
Why are we doing this?
Character-wise are there interactions that you get to have that you’re excited for audiences to see?
BOSEMAN: Yes, Yes.
RUFFALO: Maybe
BOSEMAN: Yes, I think so.
Again without being specific, because we can’t get too into it.
RUFFALO: What generally ends up happening too is we find stuff as we’re going along.
Is there anyone you want your character or you’re hoping you get to interact with?
RUFFALO: I’d love to more stuff to with him [points to Boseman].
I think it’s really funny to have Banner and him together, I think that’s really interesting.
Where do Tony and Bruce pick back up?
So it’s not combative but they’re not so in-sync as they were.
Plus, Banner doesn’t understand Civil War.
He just doesn’t get it.
Speaking to Tony and Banner, is this gonna be a movie that Science Bros.
Fans will be stoked about?
I now you’re aware of this…
RUFFALO: Oh yeah, there’s great Science Bros. stuff.
There’s good Science Bros. stuff.
We’re paired up again.
I was gonna ask about that, because previously these guys were the brains.
And how essential are Wakandans to defending Earth?
That’s essentially a core value of the film that together, only together, can they triumph.
Are you sure you want to let them in?
RUFFALO: There goes the neighborhood.
BOSEMAN: There goes the neighborhood, that is a good way of saying it.
