Even I can't wait any longer to see some footage from Marvel's The Avengers (and I'm a really patient person, haha). But thanks to a source close to the production of the Joss Whedon-directed film, who've provided reliable scoops in the past, we have new info revealing a couple things. Though it is nothing big, some of the things are pretty cool. Below is a brief description of a finalized concept for the Hellicarrier, and more. As always, SPOILER WARNING!
One of the things the source told me is that in concepts, the Hellicarrier looks like a huge F-14 with stubbier main wings and large hovercraft blades in all 4 wings. Plus, here is an interesting thing: it has a cloaking device. Next, it was previously reported that they will be filming some scenes at the NASA facility. Well, in the film, it looks like that is a S.H.I.E.L.D. lab where they are studying the Cosmic Cube.
With the trailer being released soon, word is that we'll see the aliens' ship blowing stuff up from the Cleveland filming. Of course with visual effects and everything else. There is a scene where they shoot missiles down onto the street blowing all the cars up. And finally, the source mentioned that Loki is brutal in this movie. Pure evil and more hands on and physical.
And that's about it. Like I said, not much, but at least something until we get the trailer.
