Thanks to our friends over at
Midwest Movie Maker, we have a few new pieces of information about the filming set to take place in downtown Cleveland from today onwards. While it's unknown just how tight security will be (hint: very) on the set doubling as New York, the next few weeks will hopefully see plenty of set photos heading our way! For now, here is an excerpt from the sites report. Be sure to click on the link below to read even more.
A friend is excited to be an extra on the shoot, but he's sworn to secrecy, so we want to respect that. What we can tell you is a lot you probably already anticipated: there will be explosions downtown, there will be a big battle downtown, and that battle will turn up on film somewhere near the end of the movie.
We also know that Joss Whedon's already working. The writer/producer/director was on hand for rehearsals and, my friend says, was cheery and friendly to cast and crew. He also said he learned the cast (including Robert (Iron Man) Downey, Jr., Chris (Captain America) Evans, Samuel L. (Nick Fury) Jackson, Chris (Thor) Hemsworth, Scarlett (Black Widow) Johansson, Mark (The Hulk) Ruffalo and Jeremy (Hawkeye) Renner) were already in town. Though I have to admit he didn't know if they were all already in town.
