Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Paul Bettany (The Vision), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) and Tom Hiddleston (bad-guy Loki) have all been asked to make themselves available over a two-week period in January to film additional scenes at Pinewood Studios.
Director Joss Whedon and the film’s producers may not require all the stars to fly into the UK, but they had to send out an early blanket notice so they’d be around if required. And for the kind of money this cast is being paid, they’re not going to refuse.
Stars of the new Avengers film will come together again in London in the New Year to shoot extra scenes.
I understand that, as with the James Bond films, Age Of Ultron — the second Avengers movie — needs a bit more kick-ass on an extravagant scale. The Avengers movies and their spin-offs have become box office diamond dust. Audiences cram into cinemas to see them — but they also demand that the action in each new film be more spectacular than the last.
Later next year, Avengers 3 and 4 will shoot back to back, most likely at Pinewood in the UK.
There are some huge pictures coming to film here. In fact, so many U.S. film-makers and actors are working at British studios now that when Dawn Hudson, head of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, visited recently, she saw so many members she joked she could have held a governors meeting in the UK.
It’s a testament to British film talent — and that of the other craftsmen and women who opt to be based here.
