As I remember she said "bozhe moi"(Боже мой) which would be "My God" or better put "Oh My god!" and obviously it is Russian.

The Avengers was given a somewhat different name because of the british tv show The Avengers. The new name was to help keep them seperate and to avoid any confusion for audiences in the UK.
Wikipedia says:
In February 2012, Disney announced that the film's title would be
changed in the United Kingdom to avoid confusion with the British TV
series of ...

My theory is this:
Banner can already control The Hulk at the beginning of Avengers
This is shown when he is about to show his 'secret' to Black Widow the first time. They are then interrupted (I forget by what already) before he can show her (presumably, his instant transformation). It is then shown (in a very epic fashion) that he can turn into The ...

In Iron Man, there was a heavy physical suit they sometimes used, but the bulk of the footage was CGI, as the proportions of the Iron Man suit aren't that of a human's. Wikipedia mentions sometimes, Downey would only wear the helmet, sleeves and chest of the costume over a motion capture suit.
From here:
[The Iron Man 2 suit] was only a half suit -- ...

When Loki tries to take control of Stark he actually hits the ARC reactor and not the flesh over his heart. Your graphic explains it best with the "Tink, Tink" sound showing that Loki is actually hitting the metal of the reactor.
In the Avengers director commentary, Joss Whedon states it fails to work because the ARC reactor prevents the staff from ...

I just got back from the film, and the mid-credits scene villain is indeed Thanos. He's a cosmic-level villain who seeks to control the universe. The idea that the entire film's plot was just a scheme his minions were working on for him is a pretty great introduction for him. His desire for objects of power suggests that his goal was to get the ...

Since your question asks What is the first crossover movie? I'll submit two of the earliest I have found, depending on your definition of "crossover".
For movie horror/sci-fi franchises, there is Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943).
But I think the earliest could be Laurel and Hardy's appearance in the Our Gang comedy short Wild Poses (1933). Both Our ...

Although I have nothing to back this up, I am a writer and one of my characters parallels the Hulk fairly closely. In my mind, there's little doubt why he did it. He loves to hit things, he just got through having an aggressive fight, Thor is still upright, and he knows that Thor won't be hurt by it. It's like punching your teammate on the shoulder pads ...

How Bruce Banner found the Avengers:
When Banner was aboard the Hellicarrier, his gamma ray search algorithm had worked out where the Tesseract was (Stark Tower), but before he could tell anyone Loki's machinations kicked in and he turned into the Hulk. After he went back to being Bruce Banner, he just found his way to Stark Tower, where the rest of the ...

I would think Alien vs. Predator would be an example of combining franchises, which was released in 2004.
While not a critical success (garnered only 22% Tomatometer), it did gross $80.2 million. It even spawned a sequel, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem in 2007.

The 2 heroes you are referring to are Black Widow and Hawkeye, played by Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner. There is talk about their own movies but no official releases. Marvel is focusing on the Avengers storyline first. It will probably depend on the box offices ...

You should have seen her in Iron Man 2 (part of the SHIELD storyline). ...

The Chitauri did not stop working when the portal closed as the portal did not close until after the ship had been destroyed. What I took from this meant they were a linked consciousness where once the main body dies the rest of the creatures linked to it would also die (see the buggers from Ender's Game).
Marvel has also covered this in their wiki page in ...

Computer artists start by developing a hand drawing of a character, and places like ILM will sometimes create small clay figures as references.
These are then passed to the modeling artists who convert the concept into a digital character with high level of detail. This is often done with special digital clay sculpting software.
Here are some examples I ...

Hawkeye, like Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow, is a human, except he is a lot more skilled than most. He doesn't have super powers like Captain America, Thor, or Hulk, but he is a master assassin.
He does make a cameo in Thor uncredited as Clint Barton, which I think you can say is a precursor before his role in Avengers, though he didn't have as ...

The Eric Bana version of the Hulk was critically panned, receiving poor reviews from critics and fans alike, thus, Marvel called for a reboot to be tied into their Avengers plan.
From what I understood, Edward Norton quit after the 2008 version due to a lot of internal disputes (more information can be found on this answer to a similar question I asked ...

It is never said explicitly how exactly he survived, but in The Avengers it is hinted that he was saved by the Chitauri and their leader. A mysterious character by the name "The Other" tells Loki:
The Other: You question us? You question HIM? He, who put the scepter in your hand, who gave you ancient knowledge and new purpose when you were cast out, ...

I believe he would survive,it could have been just reaction lead by fear and panic.
Thor can "fly" but inside a steel cage it is of no use to him so
getting out is smart idea no matter how immortal he is.
Falling and getting hit by a steel roof also can't feel too
good...and it could ruin his magnificent hair.
There is always fear of death,and especially ...

French gentleman thief Arsène Lupin battles the English detective Sherlock Holmes in the 1910 German drama film serial Arsène Lupin contra Sherlock Holmes.
Wikipedia says:
A contemporary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Maurice Leblanc (1864–1941) was the creator of the character of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin who, in Francophone countries, has enjoyed a ...

If you are talking about Samuel L Jackson or S.H.I.E.L.D. then it would be:
Iron Man
Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor (Samuel L Jackson does not appear, but S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives do)
Captain America:The First Avenger
This should be it I think, its pretty much all the recent films released by marvel.

I will confirm this when I see the movie later tonight, but preliminary research indicates that this villain is Thanos
Feige revealed on an Empire magazine podcast that the "master" in the post credits scene is Thanos.

The reason is that the Hulk Comics/Cartoons/Movies are all made in focusing children, so they don't want to show Green porn.
Anyways below are lee's funny answer on the same topic -
Q: If it weren’t for the Comics Code, would the Hulk’s pants have ripped
off like his shirt?
Stan Lee: I guess it probably would have. So occasionally the Code did

They changeg the name in UK because of having the same name to TV show The Avengers. So they changed the name but only for UK.
They said-
“Well sir, with people who associate the name ‘The Avengers’ with the
TV show, there’s a slim chance that they’ll get confused by the movie
poster and so may not want to watch our movie.”

This question actually dates back to some of the debates in animation. How much of a character is the director, writers, and artists and how much is a part of the voice artists providing the character.
This debate is what has often fueled the salary battles of actors from "The Simpsons" as well as an endless history of industry strikes.
"The Avengers" ...

Iron Man and Iron Man 2 are, IMO, the best movies in the current Marvel film universe. They are also not very important to understand what's going on in The Avengers - if you understand that Tony Stark is a brilliant jerk and has a robot suit, that's about all you need ...

Film corporation collaborations are not as uncommon as one might believe. This is especially true when dealing with music or music artists signed to one label that is under the umbrella of another corporation. Granted in those cases the film corporation really tries to pull music and artists from under it's own parent company labels but such is not ALWAYS ...

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said in November 2012:
Iron Man 3 doesn't feature any of the other Avengers, or Nick Fury showing up, or any of those world-blending conceits that the Phase One films had.
You have to keep in mind that Iron Man 3 had been in the works for almost a year, year and a half before The Avengers was released. We're ...

If we're not talking public domain characters, then my mind immediately turns to Japanese monster movies. There are several monsters with their own movies, but on occasion they would appear together in a "Vs." movie. Earliest one I could find is King Kong vs. Godzilla, which was release in 1962.

Are you asking specifically about comic book franchises? There have been no shortage of public domain crossovers, or crossovers between a branded character set and public domain characters. (For example, The Three Stooges Meet Frankenstein, The Three Stooges Meet Hercules, The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (which has Sherlock Holmes meet Sigmund Freud). King Kong ...

Thor magically knew where to find Loki the first time, when he abducted him from the Quinjet. I suppose the same magic could have helped him find Loki the second time, too. (Perhaps Odin infused Mjolnir with some sort of spell to track Loki quickly.)
As for Banner, that one's actually easier to answer. If he were looking for the other Avengers, he only had ...

First make the concept clear about Hawkeye and Black Widow. They are superhero and superheroine respectively in the original comics. Wikipedia clearly states that
Hawkeye (also known as Goliath and Ronin, and as his alter ego Clint Barton) is a fictional character and comic book superhero who appears in publications by Marvel Comics
and
Black ...
