Now, this is only an interesting bit of tabloid news from the set of The Avengers (no, really, the source is The National Enquirer):
Apparently Robert Downey, Jr., dressed as Iron Man, hit a wrong button on his costume and smacked Scarlett Johansson in the face, knocking her off the platform they were on.
The actor was waiting to film scenes with his glamorous co-star in their new movie and was fiddling with the hi-tech gadgets attached to his outfit.
Downey Jr, 46, hit the ‘wrong’ button, which controls one of the arms and hit Scarlett – who plays Black Widow in the movie – in the face.
A source said: ‘It suddenly jerked backward and whacked poor Scarlett. ‘Knocked silly, she staggered backward, then lost her balance and fell off the low platform they were standing on.’
I guess this tells us that Iron Man and Black Widow share scenes in costume.
Basically, I’m so excited for The Avengers, I’m willing to pass on any scrap of news about it until it comes out.
