The guys over at
BadAssDigest have done a little digging and in the process have seemingly put an end to the recent rumors that the theft of Samuel L. Jackson's script had brought the production of the highly anticipated movie to a halt. Interestingly, they also seem to have some inside knowledge about the contents of that same script and briefly detail what they made of it.
Reports are spreading online that production on The Avengers has been halted after a copy of the script leaked online. I’ve talked to a couple of sources and neither of them can confirm this and believe that the production is trundling along just fine.I’m still waiting for official word from Disney.
UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Disney and this was the first the publicist had heard about it.
Also, the leaked script gives almost nothing away. The Avengers is a movie that most of you could probably plot out beat for beat; Marvel isn’t throwing a bunch of surprises at us in this one (at least not until the end, but there’s a surprise at the end that I don’t think can be rewritten due to Marvel’s long-term planning).
Pretty interesting stuff, eh? Perhaps it will be as simple as just the superhero team taking on Loki and the Hulk! It's also interesting to ponder what exactly the surprise at the end of the movie might be. Be sure to speculate and share your thoughts in the usual place!
With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Rufallo as Bruce Banner, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Tom Hiddleston as Loki,
The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!
