Both feature in a new clip from the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of the superhero blockbuster, known as Marvel's Avengers Assemble in the UK.
Continuing the countdown to the arrival of the film in stores, another behind-the-scenes video has been unleashed.
This time it's a featurette called Assembling The Ultimate Team, which takes a look at the casting and performance of Captain America and Hulk.
It was Chris Evans who stepped into the red, white and blue uniform of the patriotic hero, following his earlier appearance as Human Torch, another Marvel Comics character, in Fox's Fantastic Four films.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige says Evans completely owns his new role as the 1940s supersoldier Steve Rogers, who finds himself thrust into a dangerous modern world that could still benefit from the leadership and discipline of his wartime duties.
Feige says in the featurette: "Chris Evans has risen to the forefront as Steve Rogers. If you look at Chris Evans you forget any role he has ever played before and all you can see is Steve Rogers."
Director Joss Whedon says of the character: "Captain America is a whole new ball game because it's a whole new era, and [Chris] really did an amazing job."
Mark Ruffalo, who plays scientist Bruce Banner and his alter-ego the Hulk, enjoyed appearing in the movie alongside Evans, explaining: "It's very cool, I'm wildly impressed with him."
Whedon says Ruffalo was always his first choice for the role of Banner, while Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr added: "With Mark Ruffalo, I have someone who I would be happy to do every scene with for the rest of my life."
The Avengers Blu-ray and DVD is out on September 17 in the UK and September 25 in the US.
