Do The Avengers Still Have One More Scene To Shoot?

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Apparently filming for The Avengers is not yet completed according to Robert Downey Jr.  He claims he and his co-stars still have one scene left to shoot. “Not to keep you guessing, but we’re actually not done shooting. We are shooting one more scene tonight. I’m not kidding.” Downey said at a press conference before the premiere of The Avengers.

Downey’s statement was backed by co-star Mark Ruffalo saying that he, Downey, and the rest of the cast were planning to film something Thursday night. “Yeah, yeah — we’re shooting a scene tonight,” Ruffalo said. “I don’t know where it’s going to go. I really don’t. We don’t even really know what it is yet, but we’re shooting a scene tonight.” He then gestured to his hotel closet and said,  “All I know is that my costume is in there, we’re putting on make-up, and they’re saying show up here and we’re going to tell you what we’re going to do. ”

Ruffalo plays the The Incredible Hulk whose costume  is a 15ft CGI green man. Co-writer/director Joss Whedon later announced that the actors were pulling everyone’s leg.

The Avengers hits theaters May 4th.

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
