Scarlett Johansson and the cast of 'The Avengers' say they're confident the film will be this summer's biggest blockbuster.

Scarlett's character is among a list of recruits put together by agent Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson. His job is to save the world from evil god Loki, played by Brit Tom Hiddleston.

Fury assembles a rag tag team of superheroes to fight, but far too often their egos get in the way.

Although the characters' big personalities clashed in the film, Jackson and Hiddleston agreed that the actors were relatively drama free on set.
