Robert Downey, Jr. and Don Cheadle are set to reprise their roles as Iron Man and War Machine, respectively. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston will reprise their roles from the upcoming Thor as Thor and Loki as well. Samuel L. Jackson signed on to play Nick Fury as part of an unprecedented deal with Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures for nine pictures, including The Avengers and its respective sequels. Scarlett Johansson, playing the Iron Man 2 role of Black Widow, will be in the film. Chris Evans will reprise his role as Captain America from the forthcoming film Captain America: The First Avenger.
In June 2010 during Comic Con, reports surfaced that Jeremy Renner was in final negotiations to play Hawkeye in the film as well.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed that the Hulk will appear in The Avengers but the character of Bruce Banner will not be played by Edward Norton.
