November 25, 2008 - "If we don't get it right it's really, really going to suck." So says Robert Downey, Jr. about the dangers of bringing Marvel's The Avengers to the big screen.

"It has to be the crowning blow of Marvel's best and brightest because it's the hardest thing to get right. It's tough to spin all the plates for one of these characters," Downey recently told MTV from the London set of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes.

The star added, "The danger you run with colliding all these worlds is [director] Jon [Favreau] was very certain that Iron Man should be set in a very realistic world. Nothing that happened in Iron Man is really outside the realm of possibility. Once you start talking about Valhalla and supersized super-soldiers and jolly green giants it warrants much further discussion."

CHUD suggests that Downey's comment about "supersized super-soldiers" might be a reference to The Ultimates version of Hank Pym, a.k.a. Giant-Man, rather than to Captain America.
