Marvel’s the Avengers – interview with Cobie Smulders #TheAvengersEvent

We were all just a little bit giddy as we admired the beautiful suite at the Trump Soho, and anxiously awaited our interviews.  We would first be interviewing Cobie Smulders (you might know her from “How I Met Your Mother”).  She plays S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Maria Hill in Marvel’s the Avengers.

It was such a comfortable setting – we sat in a circle on comfy couches and chairs – like we were going to be “hanging out” with an old friend. We sure felt like Cobie was a friend after speaking with her for a few minutes. When she arrived in the room, I think our jaws dropped. She was donning a beautiful Coral colored gown, and she is such a beauty.

We all had plenty of questions for her.  I think we all felt comfortable immediately, as she just jumped right in and talked to us.  I think she was really comfortable with us as well!  I was

Someone asked Cobie what her most memorable moment was.  She replied with, “Oh gosh. One of the big moments I mean there’s so many. Every single shot was really so big. And so new too. Not just for me but for everyone”.

Cobie was also asked if she would be doing more of action movies. She answered that, “I really enjoyed it,
and I would love to do more. I know I’m going to, I, I hope to go on and do more of these Marvel films, it would be cool to take on more.

I asked about her training with weapons specialists and she said she had a lot of fun training, and the trainer even showed up at her house with just about every kind of gun, rifle, etc. imaginable.  She was laughing as she told this story, and we all laughed along with her. She has a really funny way of telling a story.

She went on to say that she was a little bit nervous working with such big actors, and that it was a little intimidating.

Our 15 minutes was over before we knew it, and I think us girls could have gabbed all day. She is such an incredibly nice person, and it was a blast “hanging out” with her.
