The actress, 27, claimed she had to ask them to take it easy on her as they filmed the gruelling fight scene

She told MTV News: ‘All I can say is that I had to fight someone else in this film, and they beat the crap out of me in stunt rehearsals. I have to say I could not believe it.

‘I was like, ‘Can you hold it back, OK? You know, I’m trying to work it out here. I’ve got smaller muscles than you’. I was dragged across the [floor]. When we finally finished that scene I was just happy to be alive.’

The film was written and directed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon who told Metro: ‘I believe, very strongly, that most people who love these characters – whether it’s from the movie or from comics – will be extremely pleased; because nobody is left to pasture. This movie is big and there’s room for everyone.’

He added: ‘To have that many talented people should be everybody’s problem. Everybody really shines.’

Avengers Assemble premieres in the UK next Thursday and is released in cinemas here on April 26.
