Plain Dealer, the latest footage from
The Avengers' "Germany" shoot once again captures the villainous 'Loki' and heroic 'Captain America' in combat, now up-close. Seemingly going down, sans the actors, but rather their stunt-doubles, watch the video below. And also, look for a somewhat interesting bit of info regarding Loki's alien army.
And in relating news, chatting with
The-News-Herald, an "NYP Officer" stuntman vaguely detailed his experience working on the film. While the role evidently involved Loki's alien invaders, the stuntman explains:
“The first day, we were driving patrol cars, precision driving, coming up and stopping to where they wanted,” says Emmett, a Geneva police officer. “We were responding to an alien invasion,” Fike says. “As we got out (of patrol cars),” Emmett says, “the aliens were coming out from the top of the buildings and we were shooting up at them. I think I got two or three,” he says with a laugh.
