Yesterday Fresh posted an
article with some revealing hints as to certain scenes that would be filming on the last day of
The Avengers New York shoot. One detail revealed on the map above has caused a bit of a stir. The Leviathan. What the Hell is it?
Well it could be any number of things. But one theory, backed up by a
Tweet earlier today, suggest that it is some type of creature. In this case a giant sea monster. That IS what the Leviathan of mythology is after all. But of course we have no definitive proof that this info is on the level. More theories suggest a creature but one more indented in Marvel history. The Dragon known as Fin Fang Foom. We know that director John Favreau placed a Foom Easter egg in
Iron Man 2 and wanted to one day use the creature as a movie villain. Reading the descriptions on the map above-"Moves down street", "head comes to rest"- it certainly seems that this thing could be at least some type of living entity. And it is certainly not out of the question that Joss Whedon would use such a beast as he has never shied away from big fantasy elements, including large monsters, before.
But to be honest I'm not buying it. Personally I think that if the Leviathan refers to something that we will even see on film then it is a ship or craft of some kind. Either Alien or perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D related. And yet another theory posed by Fresh is that The Leviathan refers to some type of large camera used by the crew. The "Ultimate Arm" is definitely a piece of camera equipment used for tracking shots.
Anyway, quite a few possibilities. But what do you guys think?
