UNIVERSAL CITY, California — "The Avengers" is now the third-highest-grossing movie in the world. Most likely everyone involved with the mammoth Marvel superhero production is feeling pretty good about all of the success, right?
Well, in this special Movie Awards "After Hours" clip, our own Josh Horowitz managed to bring actor Clark Gregg down.
As if getting offed as Agent Coulson wasn't bad enough (whether he'll return as the Vision or in some other incarnation remains to be seen), Gregg was forced to confront a collection of sobering figures Josh delivered that drew a stark contrast with all the good "Avengers" news.
Sure, "The Avengers" was the fastest movie to ever pass $500 million. Yes, "The Avengers" was loved by more than 90 percent of critics. It's taken in $1.3 billion around the world. But, as Clark learned during "After Hours," people in Portugal hate him. No, really, they do. And Uruguay? Sheesh ...
This "After Hours" clip certainly gave him plenty to contemplate, as you'll see. You'd be shaken up too if you learned 70 billion people would like to see you dead.
Watch as Gregg was reduced to a low whisper, stammering for the right words, a shell of the man who happily smiled at the start and even corrected our "After Hours" host about the opening weekend at first. "Two-hundred-and-seven [million] — just what I heard," he helpfully admonished. "If we're doing the numbers, Josh."
If fans want to support their favorite Avengers at Sunday's 2012 MTV Movie Awards, Captain America and Thor are facing off in the Best Hero category — but they've got some stiff competition in the form of Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen and "21 Jump Street" cop Jenko.
