The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, finished shooting early this month. Now, the film is in big post-production stages where companies are working on visual effects. It was previosly reported that Industrial Light & Magic will be doing VFX, but now it seems that WETA Digital has joined ILM to make the film's effects even better. Below is a list of the special effects companies, some of the movies they've worked on, including who've worked on practical effects and previsualization. Also, I heard that WETA may work on visual effects for The Hulk or the mysterious aliens that'll appear in the movie. So, if it's true, it will look amazing.

VFX:

WETA DIGITAL:

- X-Men: First Class

- Avatar

- District 9

- King Kong

- Lord of the Rings - Trilogy



INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC:

- Transformers - Trilogy

- Iron Man

- Star Trek (2009)

- Pirates of the Caribbean - Trilogy

- Super 8



LUMA PICTURES:

- Captain America: The First Avenger

- X-Men: First Class

- Thor

- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

- The Green Hornet




LIVE ACTION SUIT & PRACTICAL EFFECTS:

LEGACY EFFECTS:

- Thor

- Iron Man

- Iron Man 2

- Cowboys & Aliens

- Avatar



PREVISUALIZATION:

THE THIRD FLOOR:

- X-Men: First Class

- Thor

- Let Me In

- Star Trek (2009)

- War of the Worlds



There you go. There could be more companies working on, but for now this is it. Seeing all that above, I think we can expect some cool stuff in the film.

Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Cobie Smulders, The Avengers is set to hit theatres on May 4, 2012!


Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in "Iron Man," "The Incredible Hulk," "Iron Man 2," "Thor," and "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel’s The Avengers" is the super hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

Thats all Marvel movies are about, FX, not the damn story. Why most of them are out of sync, don't make sense, and flat out suck. There are a few golden eggs (Spider-man 2, Iron-Man) but not many.

Is the 3D conversion still on?

@kevberg

Yeah, if they're doing the Hulk, WETA is a good idea.

Much like Green Lantern and Superman Returns?

@Nexthero, usually I get all mad at the Marvel fans trashing DC, but lately, I've seen A LOT of stupid DC fans say the most ridiculous of things. Your comment being one of them. Top of the list of stupid actually. You should feel proud to have accomplished making DC fans look completely absurd. Thanks kiddo.

TDKR doesnt need VFX...look at their characters. Plain and for the most part boring. This has the HULK and IRON MAN! big dogs right here. This movie is going to be amazing
