Although filming is wrapping up on

D Sweeney, a few images and details regarding tonight's shoot on the location have been revealed.
Got the inside scoop they will simulate a plane crashing into the Terminal Tower later tonight for the Avengers movie. And the scene will also depict be a "black tie gala" part. A shop's facade at Ontario and Euclid was modified to be a German store front. A fake bus station rested across of the marquee of a theater hanging off of City Center -- both with signs spelled in Deutsch. Even a German flag waved next to an RTA stop.
Also, check out an extremely detailed description of the D23 footage after the following images.
Also, it seems those "detailed" descriptions of
The Avengers' D23 footage weren't as detailed as they should've been. An annoymous source tells me there was a Latin chorus playing subtlety under the clip whenever Loki was present like he was Satan himself. And the way the Ready Room monitor cut out after his speech implied you didn't know if the monitor was supposed to cut off; evidently meaning Loki's presence was "spooky." And slso, these descriptions got the order of the shots mixed up and didnt manage to accurately describe the battle of Manhattan shots. There were shots of what looked like a dropship from Starship Troopers flying into the city under fire. And a cool crane shot moving in on Hawkeye and Black Widow on a bridge using damaged cars as a barrier while returning fire. Plus there was an aerial shot (from the teaser) of an open cabin & door during the night fight where there's light coming out thru the opening that quickly turns green. Between the night, storm and rain, the night fight looks to be in the tone of Incredible Hulk and likely the first place they encounter the Hulk. When Tony mentions cap as part of his "living legend" spiel, there's a shot of Cap leaping out of the back of a military helicopter while it's in flight and he's leaping in that famous arms out front Cap pose. The shot of the Hulk screaming at the end was at night and had the extreme close up compositions of the fight shots with Thor, Iron Man & Cap from the other night scenes.
