After confirming the actor behind 'Nick Fury' in the highly-anticipated film would be the only cast member filming at NASA Plum Brook Center's Space Power Facility, in Sandusky, OH,
Sandusky Register has recieved confirmation of the facility's role in Marvel Studios'
The Avengers. Though not surprising, check it out below.
The Space Power Facility is being used to portray a research facility that's a joint project of S.H.I.E.L.D., the spy agency in the Marvel Comics universe run by "Nick" Fury, and NASA, a film producer explained Thursday. Fury is portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson, who got a personal tour of the SPF on Wednesday from a NASA official.
Producer Jeremy Latcham said he expects the Plum Brook sequences to wind up in "several minutes" of the final film. He said NASA logos will likely appear in the film, and the SPF should be recognizable to area moviegoers.
Though this is speculation as well, it's likely this 'S.H.I.E.L.D Research Facility' will affiliate with the exterrestrial beings that'll appear in the film. What do you think?
