After nearly a decade of knowing each other and having made five movies together,Chris EvansandChris Hemsworthare bonded for life.

The twoAvengers: Endgamestars recently opened up to PEOPLE about their friendship and the first time they met — before their Marvel characters made them household names.

Hemsworth, 35, has a clear recollection of their first interactions inside a New York City nightclub roughly 10 years ago.

“We were just talking about this. I think it was in a club in New York,” recalls the Avenger also known as Thor.

“Was it really?” asks Evans, 37.

“Seriously. I think I went out and you’d just done your movie[Captain America: The First Avenger]. I was training for Thor and someone introduced us. We got home about 7 the next morning.”

“That sounds about right,” Evans says. “I’d be hard-pressed to remember the details.”

The Australian actor and Boston native, known as “Hemmy” and “Evans” on theAvengersmovie sets, say they knew they were going to get along almost instantly.

“We were like, ‘Cool, working together will be easy then,” says Hemsworth.

Adds Evans: “That’s the way it’s been across the Marvel landscape. It’s always felt like old hat with the cast.”

“Ha. I am excited to see your finished home,” says Evans. “But honestly, I really want kids, and between Hemmy, Scarlett [Johansson] and [Jeremy] Renner, it’s been really cool watching them turn into parents and watching them be parents. It’s nice watching your friends evolve and go on that journey.”
