Joss Whedon: 'Avengers' production to start
Joss Whedon has announced that production on The Avengers will begin this week.
Writing on his official blog, the writer and director teased that the all-star film would get underway on Monday, although he decided not to divulge any further details.
"Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I'm legally permitted to say that). Day one. That's right (sic)," he posted on Sunday.
"We'll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address: [Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss's keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in Stormy Monday, drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]. Went too far. My bad."
He went on to warn fans not to expect details about the shoot as it progresses, adding: "Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this.
"I'll be checking in from time to time, if there's news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake). None of it will be Avengers news... but I may have tidbits."
Natalie Portman was recently rumoured to be reprising her Thor character Jane Foster in The Avengers, though the reports have not been confirmed.
The Avengers ensemble cast already includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner.
