20 Minutes Of Behind-The-Scenes ‘Avengers’ Footage...
20 Minutes Of Behind-The-Scenes ‘Avengers’ Footage And A Big Fat (Most Likely True) Rumor.
In case you couldn’t tell by the barrage of Avengers-related posts lately, we’re pretty stoked for this movie.
First up, let’s get the juicy gossip out of the way. The way /Film tells it, at the end of tonight’s press conference at the Avengers premiere, Robert Downey Jr. said that the cast would be shooting a final scene after the event.
The crowd laughed, but Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige seemed notably irritated that Downey had made the comment. Could it be that he let the cat out of the bag? Or was Feige just angry that he was starting false rumors, which could lead to undeliverable expectations?
As the crowd was abuzz, Downey responded that he wasn’t kidding. And then, wait for it, said “No more questions!” At that point, the cast and crew exited the stage, leaving all the geek journalists wondering if Downey was joking or was he telling the truth.
How can anybody possibly be irritated by Robert Downey Jr? The dude’s 100% charm and awesomeness.
But it doesn’t end there. Marc Ruffalo told The Playlist:
“We’re shooting a scene tonight. I’m not sure exactly where it’s gonna go. All I know is that someone came in with the costume and said, ‘Here’s some wardrobe. We don’t know where you’re going to be or what you’re doing.’ ” Ruffalo said. We asked if it will be in the “The Avengers” when it hits theaters Ruffalo added, “Yeah. So I’m like, ‘All right, when are we doing that?’ Today after we’re done.”
It’s probably safe to assume they shot some sort of after-the-credits clip. I mean, the movie hits theaters in TWO FREAKING WEEKS. What else could it be?
While we scratch our heads dreaming up what the final scene could involve, enjoy this buttload of behind-the-scenes clips from TrailerAddict embedded in sequential order over on /Film. I tried embedding them here, but Tumblr was being whack and they weren’t showing up.

Happy Camper Essentials
We LOVE this lantern! It is one of the most versatile toys that a boy could have. In our house, it is used as a nightlight, for pretend camp outs and for evening walks. Most of all, it makes a great camping accessory. It has its own built in generator that is powered by the energy of winding up the crank, which lights up 5 LED lights. It also has a compass on the top and a metal clip for hanging. Pairing this lantern with the camp out cooking tools shown below would make a great summertime gift for any boy.
Click here to get the lantern and here to get the camping tools for your happy camper!

You know, I don’t think I’d mind hearing “recalculating” every 20 seconds if it was Misato Katsuragi saying it. This awesome NERV-themed GPS receiver has a very cool GUI that looks like it came straight from Tokyo-3. It even displays your car as an Eva unit.

G.I. Joe x Danger Girl!?
Last year Danger Girl crossed over with Ash for Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness. I never got around to reading it, but the concept alone was enough to send my groin region into spasms.
Now, announced on IDW’s Facebook page with the message “CROSSOVER OF THE CENTURY ALERT: DANGER GIRL and GI JOE are teaming up! Campbell! Hartnell! Royle! Barber! Dunbier!”, Abbey Chase (dressed as Baroness above) and the girls will be teaming up with freaking G.I. Joe! THE REAL AMERICAN HEROES!
Danger Girl’s style of sexy espionage seems like a good fit for G.I. Joe’s battlefield action, plus it’ll be cool to see something innocent from my childhood mixed with the salaciousness of Danger Girl.
