Starting next week, March 30, The Avengers: Age of Ultron production will close off several bridges and areas of Seoul, South Korea, through April 14. Though the actors involved in the shoot are a big mystery, it was revealed not along ago that the core scene set in Seoul involves Ultron laying parts of the city to waste. There is also a Korean IT institute that will play a central part in Age of Ultron where the titular villain "tries to acquire state-of-the-art technology." What do you think?



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

Dear Koreans,

I hope that you have better cameras than the Italians and we'll be able to get a better look at the suits and the actors.

With love

Yes... Def thinking that is a hydra dreadnought now.

I guess we''ll see if the actual ultron in Korea matches the guy's mask in the start of this article.

Can't wait either way!!!

I'm looking at the head of Ultron, and I'm really liking the stand-in design. With some CGI he's goins to look menacing. Joss has raised the stakes with this one.

The first movie's final battle was pretty great, which is amazing when you consider it basically only encompassed a few city blocks. I can't wait to see what sort of action Joss can bring us now that he's going global.

(Sidenote: As much as I hate the TRANSFORMERS movies overall, DOTM's final act is pretty much how I imagined a confrontation with Ultron and his bots to go down)

Just by filming there, Joss has gotten everyone in that country to go see the movie when it comes out.
Koreans are very nationalistic.

Joss should film in Pyongyang. Maybe have Captain America kill Kim Jong Un and anyone who opposes capitalism and South Korea. A regime change by the Avengers would be great.

Joss. Just a point here.

You should have also mentioned that Seoul has had its heart ripped out and been multiply decimated during wartime, and that it lives under constant threat of annihilation, and apologized if you have re-awakened some painful memories of several decades/generations back by presenting the spectacle of the capitol of South Korea laid waste by a soul-less, relentless beast hell-bent on destruction and repression of the human spirit.

That being said, nice apology to the South Korean residents of Seoul.
