We previously heard that filming on The Avengers would get under-way in February next year, but now according to Variety Marvel aims to shoot most of the movie in New Mexico (where they shot Thor) from April to September.
The studio aims to take advantage of the state’s 25% tax rebate for film productions, which also lured Breaking Bad and True Grit to shoot there. The Avengers will be the state’s largest feature film project to date.
The Avengers will star Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Samuel L.Jackson (Nick Fury), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and will be directed by Joss Whedon.
