Principal Photography is set to begin in Bard, Aosta Valley later today at around 4:00 pm. The shoot will include "intense battle scenes" within the fortress. Gunfire is to be added through special effects. Cast members that have reportedly arrived on location include Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, both who have been announced to be joining the cast as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. The site says Scarlett Johansson could be present at some point, while the likes of Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson arriving is unlikely.

The site reports that around 400 extras will be included and the shoot will continue throughout the weekend. The city has alerted that during the day there will be "detonations and/or seizure of a firearm" but ensured "the absolute absence of risk and danger".

The Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson with Paul Bettany and James Spader. The film is set for release on May 1, 2015.

Maybe the first confrontation with QS and SW? Could be where *spoiler* Von Strucker has them locked up. It looks hydra-esque.

Strucker's hideout most likely.

Maybe Hawkeye is tracking him down during the events of Cap.

Hawkeye's stealth recon suit should black with dark purple highlights and the signature hawkeye cowl.

Yah, it sounds like Hawkeye is on a infiltration/exfiltration op. The filming location looks like a HYDRA base.

What I'm thinking is, Baron Von Strucker puts on a convincing show to not let Hawkeye escape with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, but does so because they're secretly working for him.

Then at some point in the movie, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver realize Baron Von Strucker doesn't actually care about them, but just wants to use them as weapons. After that, they decide to side with The Avengers to take on HYDRA and Ultron.

I'm thinking that Hawkeye is sent in to investigate, and stumbles upon The Twins. As someone said up above, von Strucker puts up a fake fight to prevent their escape, Hawkeye "rescues" Pietro and Wanda, and later they are leaking info to Strucker and Hydra.

All that being said, Avengers: Age of Ultron is gonna be a freaking meltdown of epic proportions for the comic book movie world. Even with all the epic films this year, Avengers AoU will raise the bar AGAIN.

age of Miracles? No. This is The Age of Marvel.
