Apparently even superheroes need to go to church.

Actor Mark Ruffalo, who is in Atlanta filming the  “Avengers,” stopped by Ebenezer Baptist Church for  Sunday services.

Senior Pastor Raphael G. Warnock posted a photo with Ruffalo on his Facebook page.

“Sooo, The Hulk came to worship today! Mark Ruffalo is such a super nice guy! He waited patiently for about an hour just to say hello to the pastor. Said he was inspired by the sermon. He inspired me. I may need to do a series of sermons based on the Avengers. ”

His congregation loved the post with one warning the pastor: “Whatever you do--don't make him angry!”

The film also stars Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth.
