Thanks to
Kleefeld On Comics, we have the following account of his experiences on the set of
The Avengers over the past couple of nights. It seems they've been far more secretive than we first realized, as both Iron Man (more than likely a stunt double in the suit as Robert Downey Jr. is said to not be attending the filming in Cleveland) and Black Widow were also there a couple of nights ago. Most interesting is the fact that Captain America clashes with the God of Mischief, which backs up some of the previous rumors we've heard. We even have a line of his dialogue...sounds very Cap-like, eh?
Today's my first night on The Avengers set. (They're pretty strict about cameras, so no pics. Sorry.) They're filming a scene where Loki shows up on Earth and Black Widow, Captain America and Iron Man take him on. I'm on the sidelines looking surprised.
Still filming The Avengers in Cleveland. They just flipped a car down the street as about 100 of us panicked. We were all well out of the way but there were about 6-8 stunt men (I presume) closer to the action.
I think there's a fair chance I'll make it in the final cut. When Loki tries to fry the old guy in the beer garden in Germany, I'm a few feet to his right. I also had Whedon within arm's reach for a bit while he discussed some direction with an assistant director.
We spent most the rest of the night kneeling before Zod... er... Loki. More than kneeling on bricks to make everyone's joints sore. Despite the kneepads they passed out. But it ended with Evans as Cap giving a nice speech ("The last time I was in Germany...") and taking on Loki single-handedly. All of us got to run out in chaos just as the rain forced things to a slightly early halt.
Sounds pretty damned good I think you'll agree! However, with no footage or photos having leaked from last night's filming, it looks like this is one scene that Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon are determined to keep a secret! What do you think about how things are shaping up on
The Avengers so far, and what do you think about these scenes? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
