The news that Joss Whedon and his Avengers cast were shooting one more scene last week, following the film’s premiere, was pure speculation porn. We all started to imagine what Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans could possibly be filming, especially after having seen the movie complete with a credits tease already intact.
Once the info was out there, seemingly every interview with the stars or filmmakers asked about the scene, which was officially shot, and some outlets even got answers. After the jump, you can see Evans, Hemsworth, Downey Jr. and Ruffalo joke about it and then we’ll add some educated speculation to the conversation. Read More »

The Avengers premiered last night in Hollywood (you can read some twitter reactions here). I was in attendance but I’m not allowed to write a proper review of the film just yet. I will tell you that it seemed like the print we screened was a completely finished movie.
It even had an extra bonus scene in the credits, something we’ve come to love about the Marvel films. I’m not going to spoil that scene at all, other than to say it hints at a possible Avengers sequel a few years down the line. The scene appears at the conclusion of the animated star credit sequence, and right before the full credit scroll begins. This is worth noting because Marvel usually puts their extra “button” scenes at the conclusion of the full credit scroll. But the cut we saw had nothing at the end of the reel.
Could they have left something out for the premiere? Marvel famously left the Samuel L Jackson‘s surprise appearance as Nick Fury off the end of Iron Man when they first screened it to the press, so its possible.
What if I told you they might have an extra end credits scene no one has seen yet? What if I told you the reason no one has seen it yet is because they might even be filming it tonight? Details after the jump.

At the rate we’re getting new clips from The Avengers, we’ll have seen the whole thing before it actually hits theaters next month. Today brings yet another new scene, which I think it may be my favorite yet. Robert Downey, Jr. demonstrates his trademark cool as Tony Stark, calmly and helpfully reminding Loki (Tom Hiddleston) how powerful the Avengers are — and how very upset they are with him. Watch the one-minute clip after the jump.
Update: Marvel’s also unveiled a cool new TV spot centered around Loki’s beloved brother Thor. Check it out after the jump.

In June 2011, Marvel invited a handfull of journalists to the set of The Avengers. /Film was lucky to be a part of this amazing 2-day visit to Albuquerque Studios. Over the next week we’ll be publishing transcripts of our full roundtable interviews with the cast and crew of the production. Later today you’ll find interviews with the creative team, writer/director Joss Whedon and producer/Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
After the jump you’ll find both parts of the video blogs I recorded with Steve from Collider chatting about the visit. This is where you can hear about our experiences on set with more of an opinionated spin. We have a set of 8 behind the scenes photos from production, four of which is exclusive to our visit. And finally, you’ll find a list of interesting bits that I learned on the trip — over 60 in all. They range from the script, to why Avengers didn’t shoot in 3D, to where this ties in with the previous stories, and even some updates on future Marvel movie and television productions.

Marvel’s big team-up movie The Avengers, the film towards which the studio has been building for several years, hits on May 4. But plans are already underway for a third Iron Man movie, in which Robert Downey, Jr. will return to star under the direction of Shane Black, who directed Downey in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
We don’t know a lot about Iron Man 3 other than that it is said to be a more self-contained story than the previous two films. It is rumored to have some relation to the Extremis storyline from Iron Man’s comic book continuity, but that is unconfirmed at this point.
But now we do have some casting call info for the third film that seems to confirm a few returning characters. Check out that info below. Read More »

Even his brief stint in rehab doesn’t seem to have slowed down Gerard Butler much at all. With Movie 43, Playing the Field, and Of Men and Mavericks all due out this year, and Hunter Killer, Thunder Run, Brilliant, and How to Train Your Dragon 2 already on his upcoming slate, the Scottish star has booked yet another role. Described as “Die Hard in the White House,” Olympus Has Fallen will see Butler starring as an ex-Secret Service agent who’s called upon to serve his country once more when terrorists take over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Butler is also set to produce the action thriller from newbie writers Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt, which is set up at Millennium. No director has been announced at this time, but with production scheduled for a September start we expect we’ll hear some news on that front soon. [THR]
After the jump, Phil Dunphy replaces Tony Stark, and that Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close kid gets two more jobs.
