In exchange for retrieving the Tesseract, a powerful energy source of unknown potential, the Other promises Loki an army with which he can subjugate Earth., director of the espionage agency, and his lieutenant Agent arrive at a remote research facility during an evacuation, where physicist Dr.
Is leading a research team experimenting on the Tesseract. Agent explains that the object has begun radiating an unusual form of energy. The Tesseract suddenly activates and opens a, allowing Loki to reach Earth. Loki takes the Tesseract and uses his scepter to enslave Selvig and a few other agents, including, to aid him in his getaway. In response to the attack, Fury reactivates the '. Agent is sent to to recruit to trace the Tesseract through its emissions. Coulson visits to have him review Selvig's research, and Fury approaches with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract.
In, Barton steals needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power while Loki causes a distraction, leading to a brief confrontation with Rogers, Stark, and Romanoff that ends with Loki's surrender. While Loki is being escorted to S.H.I.E.L.D., his adoptive brother, arrives and frees him, hoping to convince him to abandon his plan and return to Asgard. After a confrontation with Stark and Rogers, Thor agrees to take Loki to S.H.I.E.L.D.'
S flying aircraft carrier, the. Upon arrival, Loki is imprisoned while Banner and Stark attempt to locate the Tesseract. The Avengers become divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. Plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against hostile extraterrestrials. As the group argues, Barton and Loki's other possessed agents attack the Helicarrier, disabling one of its engines in flight and causing Banner to transform into the Hulk. Stark and Rogers work to restart the damaged engine, and Thor attempts to stop the Hulk's rampage.
Romanoff reluctantly fights Barton, and knocks him unconscious, breaking Loki's mind control. Loki escapes after killing Coulson and ejecting Thor from the airship, while the Hulk falls to the ground after attacking a S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury uses Coulson's death to motivate the Avengers into working as a team.
Stark and Rogers realize that for Loki, simply defeating them will not be enough; he needs to overpower them publicly to validate himself as ruler of Earth. Loki uses the Tesseract, in conjunction with a device Selvig built, to open a wormhole above to the Chitauri fleet in space, launching his invasion. Rogers, Stark, Romanoff, Barton, and Thor rally in defense of New York City, the wormhole's location. Banner arrives and transforms into the Hulk, and together the Avengers battle the Chitauri while evacuating civilians.
The Hulk finds Loki and beats him into submission. Romanoff makes her way to the wormhole generator, where Selvig, freed from Loki's mind control, reveals that Loki's scepter can be used to shut down the generator. Meanwhile, Fury's superiors from the World Security Council attempt to end the invasion by launching a nuclear missile at. Stark intercepts the missile and takes it through the wormhole toward the Chitauri fleet. The missile detonates, destroying the Chitauri mothership and disabling their forces on Earth. Stark's suit runs out of power, and he falls back through the wormhole just as Romanoff closes it. Stark goes into freefall, but the Hulk saves him from crashing into the ground.
In the aftermath, Thor returns Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard, while Fury expresses confidence that the Avengers will return if and when they are needed. In a mid-credits scene, the Other confers with his master about the failed attack on Earth. In a, the Avengers eat in silence at a restaurant. 'It goes back to the very first incarnation of The Avengers, it goes to, it goes to everything about it. It makes no sense, it's ridiculous. There's a thunder god, there's a green ' giant rage monster, there's Captain America from the 40s, there's Tony Stark who definitely doesn't get along with anybody. Ultimately these people don't belong together and the whole movie is about finding yourself from community.
And finding that you not only belong together but you need each other, very much. Obviously this will be expressed through punching but it will be the heart of the film.' —, director of The Avengers, about the film. Ideas for a film based on the began in 2003, with, the CEO of Marvel Studios, first announcing plans to develop the film in April 2005, after Marvel Enterprises declared independence by allying with to produce a slate of films that would be distributed. Marvel discussed their plans in a brief presentation to analysts; the studio's intention was to release individual films for the main characters—to establish their identities and familiarize audiences with them—before merging the characters together in a film. Screenwriter, who wrote (2008), became attached to the film in 2006, and was hired by Marvel Studios to write the film in June 2007.
In the wake of the, Marvel negotiated with the to ensure that it could create films based on its comic book counterparts, including Captain America, and The Avengers. After the successful release of (2008) in May, the company set a July 2011 release date for The Avengers. In September 2008, Marvel Studios reached an agreement with Paramount—an extension of a previous partnership—which gave the company distribution rights for five future Marvel films.
Casting began in October 2008 with Downey's signing. Though was also reported to be reprising his role of for The Avengers, he later stated that he did not think the character would appear in the film.
At the same time, two major prospects occurred for Marvel: was brought in as an executive producer for the film, and the company signed a long-term lease with Raleigh Studios to produce three other big-budget films— Iron Man 2, (2011), and (2011)—at their complex., who voiced Hulk in The Incredible Hulk, stated that he would be involved in the film. In February 2009, signed a nine-picture deal with Marvel Entertainment to play Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 and other films. In September 2009, who played Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk stated that he was open to returning in the film. The next month, executive producer Jon Favreau stated that he would not direct the film, but would 'definitely have input and a say'. Favreau also expressed concerns, stating, 'It's going to be hard, because I was so involved in creating the world of Iron Man, and Iron Man is very much a tech-based hero, and then with Avengers you're going to be introducing some supernatural aspects because of Thor. Mixing the two of those works very well in the comic books, but it's going to take a lot of thoughtfulness to make that all work and not blow the reality that we've created'.
In March 2009, actress Scarlett Johansson replaced in portraying Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2, a deal that subsequently attached her to The Avengers. The following day, Marvel announced that the film's release date had been pushed back to May 4, 2012, almost a full year later. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston joined the film's cast in June, returning as Thor and Loki, respectively.
In July 2009, Penn talked about the crossover process, stating, 'My job is to kind of shuttle between the different movies and make sure that finally we're mimicking that comic book structure where all of these movies are connected. There's just a board that tracks 'Here's where everything that happens in this movie overlaps with that movie'. I'm pushing them to do as many animatics as possible to animate the movie, to draw boards so that we're all working off the same visual ideas. But the exigencies of production take first priority'. At first, Penn tried to reduce Thor's role in the script because he had doubts about the character's ability to succeed on film.
He changed his mind once Hemsworth was cast as Thor. The film had always intended to use Loki as its villain, but Penn noted that early discussion had considered using. In January 2010, Marvel Studios chief was asked if it would be difficult to meld the fantasy of Thor with the high-tech science fiction in Iron Man and The Avengers. 'No,' he said, 'because we're doing the /Stan Lee// Thor. We're not doing the blow-the-dust-off-of-the-old-Norse-book-in-your-library Thor. And in the Thor of the Marvel Universe, there's a race called the Asgardians. And we're linked through this Tree of Life that we're unaware of.
It's real science, but we don't know about it yet. The 'Thor' movie is about teaching people that'. In March, it was reported that Penn had completed the first draft of the script, and that Marvel editor-in-chief and Avengers comic-book writer had received copies. Also in March, accepted an offer to play Captain America in three films including The Avengers. Pre-production By April 2010, was close to completing a deal to direct the film and to rework Penn's script, and was officially announced in July 2010. On the hiring, Arad stated: 'My personal opinion is that Joss will do a fantastic job. He loves these characters and is a fantastic writer.
It's part of his life so you know he is going to protect it. I expect someone like him is going to make the script even better'. Feige added, 'I've known Joss for many years. We were looking for the right thing and he came in and met on it. We wanted to find a director that’s on the verge of doing something great, as we think Joss is.' Whedon stated at the 2010, that what drew him to the film is that he loves how 'these people shouldn't be in the same room let alone on the same team—and that is the definition of family'.
When Whedon received Penn's draft, he told Feige he felt the studio did not 'have anything' and they should 'pretend this draft never happened'. Part of Whedon's issue was the lack of character connections in Penn's draft, which necessitated Whedon to begin 'at square one'. Whedon went on to write a five page treatment of his plan for the film, and created the tagline 'Avengers: Some Assembly Required', riffing on the 'Avengers Assemble' slogan from the comic books. Marvel quickly began working to sign Whedon to write and direct, only stipulating that he include the Avengers against Loki, a battle among the heroes in the middle, a battle against the villains at the end, and he get the film done for its May 2012 release. The script would go through 'a lot of insane iterations of what might be' according to Whedon. Whedon explained there was a point when it was not certain Johansson would star in the film, so he 'wrote a huge bunch of pages starring.' He also was 'worried that one British character actor (Hiddleston) was not enough to take on Earth's mightiest heroes, and that we'd feel like we were rooting for the overdog.
So I wrote a huge draft with, 's son, in it.' Once all of the actors were 'locked in place the movie stayed on mission.' Whedon noted that the characters used do not have the same issue, unlike the. He felt 'these guys just don't belong together' before realizing their interactions could be like (1967). Whedon also referenced (1964), (1989), (1940), and (2001). Whedon would ultimately share final screenplay credit with Penn, though Whedon noted he 'fought' for sole credit and was 'very upset about it.'
Penn felt the two 'could have collaborated more, but that was not his choice. He wanted to do it his way, and I respect that.' Joss Whedon at the 2010 The casting process continued into much of 2010, with the additions of,. Ruffalo replaced Edward Norton, whom Marvel declined to have back. 'We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in The Avengers,' stated Feige.
'Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H, Chris E, Samuel, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks.' In response, Norton's agent Brian Swardstrom decried Feige's statement, calling it 'purposefully misleading' and an 'inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light'.
In October 2014, Norton claimed it was his own decision never to play Hulk again because he 'wanted more diversity' with his career, and did not want to be associated with only one character. In August 2010, it was reported that Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios were planning to start shooting in February. Simultaneously, it was declared that the film would be shot in 3D, although Mark Ruffalo later that this was not the case. In October 2010, in and the in, New York City, were announced as filming locations, with set construction slated to begin in November, but as Whedon later explained, 'Originally we were supposed to be in Los Angeles, then for a short period we were supposed to be in New York, and then somehow we ended up in Albuquerque.' Also that October, agreed to pay Paramount at least $115 million for the worldwide distribution rights to Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. The deal also allowed Paramount to continue to collect the 8 percent box office fee it would have earned for distributing the film and a marquee credit—placement of the company's on marketing materials and the film's opening titles.
As a result, the onscreen production credit reads 'Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures' though the film is solely owned, distributed, financed, and marketed by Disney. Paramount's retained pay TV rights. In December 2010, Governor of New Mexico and Marvel Studios Co-president Louis D'Esposito announced The Avengers would film primarily in, with principal photography scheduled for April through September 2011.
Parts of the film were also scheduled to be shot in Michigan, but a plan to film in ended after Governor issued a budget proposal that would eliminate a film tax incentive. Three months later in March, Governor of Ohio announced before Mayor 's State of the City address that The Avengers would film in. Concept illustrator and designer of Iron Man's Mark VII armor Phil Saunders stated that 'Joss Whedon was looking for something that had the 'cool' factor of the suitcase suit from Iron Man 2, while still being a fully armored, heavy duty suit that could take on an army in the final battle.'
To that end, Saunders borrowed ideas that had been proposed in Iron Man 2 as well as some ideas that had been abandoned in Iron Man and merged them together in a modular suit that has big ammo packets on the arms and a backpack. The also provided science consultation for the film. Casting reached its final stages the following year. In February 2011, acquired the role of Maria Hill, after participating in screen tests conducted by Marvel for the role of a key S.H.I.E.L.D. Member, who Samuel L. Jackson described as Nick Fury's sidekick. Over the successive months, the film's cast expanded to include, Paul Bettany, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Paltrow was cast at Downey's insistence; prior to this, Whedon had not intended the film to include supporting characters from the heroes' individual films, commenting, 'You need to separate the characters from their support systems in order to create the isolation you need for a team.' Part of The Avengers film set on in New York City. Began on April 25, 2011, in, at Albuquerque Studios, with the Group Hug. In June 2011, stuntman Jeremy Fitzgerald injured his head while attempting a stunt involving a 30-foot fall from a building after getting hit by an arrow. A Marvel spokesperson later told that despite the injury, Fitzgerald recovered and continued working on set.
The following month, took place about an hour outside, Pennsylvania in the. A chase sequence was also shot in at Creekside Mushroom Farms, the world's largest single-site mushroom farm, which provided 150 miles of abandoned limestone tunnels 300 feet below the ground for filming. Production relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in August 2011, where filming transpired over a period of four weeks.
The city's East 9th Street was chosen as a double for New York City's to be used in climactic battle scenes. Soldiers assigned to the -based provided background action during the battle scenes in Cleveland. Staff Sergeant Michael T. Landis stated the use of real soldiers made the scenes more realistic and helped portray the military in a more positive light, explaining that, 'It's easy for us to make on-the-spot corrections to tactics and uniforms, the director actually took our recommendation on one scene and let us all engage the enemy as opposed to only the gunners in the trucks engaging'. Filming also took place in the large at the near. The station's was used to portray a S.H.I.E.L.D.
Research facility. A series of explosions were filmed at the powertrain plant in as part of the battle sequence that began in Cleveland. Scenes from the film were also shot on and the.
Public Square's southwest quadrant was turned into Stuttgart, Germany, for filming. Principal photography concluded in New York City, where filming occurred over two days. Filming locations in New York City included. For scenes taking place in Manhattan, visual effects supervisor Jake Morrison shot aerial footage for over three days to use as background plates, elaborating that his main objective was to 'get as much aerial work in as possible for the audience to see the big expanses, the wide establishing shots, while also making sure that the effects work doesn't look too computer generated'. 'We're getting much better at making entirely computer-generated environments,' Morrison explained, 'but there is no substitute for starting with a real image and adding what you need.' Cinematographer stated that he composed the frame with a 1.85:1 to cope with the varying heights of the main characters, explaining that 'shooting 1.85:1 is kind of unusual for an epic film like this, but we needed the height in the screen to be able to frame in all the characters like Hulk, Captain America and Black Widow, who is much smaller.
We had to give them all precedence and width within the frame. Also, Joss Whedon knew the final battle sequence was going to be this extravaganza in Manhattan, so the height and vertical scale of the buildings was going to be really important.' The film was McGarvey's first venture shooting with a digital camera, the. The and were used for some shots, and shots were captured on with the. About his visual approach, McGarvey remarked, 'Joss and I were keen on having a very visceral and naturalistic quality to the image.
We wanted this to feel immersive and did not want a 'comic book look' that might distance an audience with the engagement of the film. We moved the camera a lot on Steadicam, cranes and on dollies to create kinetic images; and we chose angles that were dramatic, like low angles for heroic imagery.' Post-production In December 2011, Disney announced that the film would be to 3D. Said Whedon, 'I'm not a big fan of extreme long lens, talky movies – I like to see the space I'm in and relate to it, so 3D kinda fits my aesthetic anyway.
And the technology has advanced so far in the past couple years.' Whedon also said that 'there definitely are movies that shouldn't be in 3D' but ' The Avengers isn't obnoxiously 3D.
There's no, 'Oh look, we're going to spend 20 minutes going through this tunnel because it's in 3D!' And no one is pointing at the screen the entire time. But it's an action movie.
Things tend to hurtle toward the screen anyway'. In January 2012, it was reported that the film would be digitally remastered for and open in IMAX theaters on May 4, 2012, the same day it opens in regular theaters.
The film's IMAX release follows Marvel's IMAX releases of Iron Man 2 and Thor. In a May 2012 interview, Whedon said that it was his decision to include Thanos in a post-credits scene, although the character is not identified in the film. 'He for me is the most powerful and fascinating Marvel villain. He's the great grand daddy of the badasses and he's in love with and I just think that's so cute. For me, the greatest Avengers comic book was Avengers Annual #7 (1977) that did followed by #2 (1977) that contained the death of.
Those were some of the most important texts and I think underrated milestones in Marvel history and Thanos is all over that, so somebody had to be in control and had to be behind Loki's work and I was like 'It's got to be Thanos.' And they said 'Okay' and I'm like 'Oh my God!'
' An additional coda involving the Avengers eating shawarma was shot on April 12, 2012, a day after the world premiere. Evans wore a prosthetic jaw while filming the scene to cover the beard he had grown. Shawarma sales in Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Boston reportedly skyrocketed in the days following the film's release. Whedon stated the inspiration for the shawarma scene came from the events surrounding the filming of the scene where dies in 's arms in the episode, '.
After filming the scene, Whedon and actors and Denisof, who portrayed Fred and Wesley, respectively, 'went out for drinks and ended up just sitting around quietly, exhausted from the day's events,' which Whedon then mimicked in the scene for the film. Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk (bottom) wearing a suit and prosthetics on his upper half to simulate the Hulk's size The film contains more than 2,200 visual effects shots completed by 14 companies: (ILM), Fuel VFX, Evil Eye Pictures, Cantina Creative, Trixter, Whiskytree, The Third Floor and Method Design. ILM was the lead vendor and shared responsibility for creating many of the film's key effects, including the Helicarrier, the New York cityscape, digital body doubles, Iron Man and the Hulk. To create the on-screen Hulk, Ruffalo performed in a motion-capture suit on set with the other actors while four motion-capture HD cameras (two full body, two focused on his face) captured his face and body movements., ILM's visual effects supervisor, said, 'We really wanted to utilize everything we've developed the last 10 years and make it a pretty spectacular Hulk.
One of the great design decisions was to incorporate Mark Ruffalo into the look of him. So, much of Hulk is based on Ruffalo and his performance, not only in motion capture and on set, but down to his eyes, his teeth, and his tongue.' ILM digitally recreated the vast majority of the New York cityscape used in the film. In total, ILM artists rendered an area of about ten city blocks by about four city blocks. To do this, ILM sent out a team of four photographers to take pictures of the area in a shoot that lasted 8 weeks.
Tyson Bidner, the New York location manager on the film, helped by securing the rights to almost every building's likeness in the area ILM needed. Disney and agreed for Tower from to be included in the film, but the idea was dropped because much of the skyline had already been completed. Weta Digital took over duties for animating Iron Man during the forest duel from ILM.
Guy Williams, Weta's visual effects supervisor, said, 'We shared assets back and forth with ILM, but our pipelines are unique and it's hard for other assets to plug into it. But in this case, we got their models and we had to redo the texture spaces because the way we texture maps is different.'
Williams said the most difficult part was re-creating Iron Man's reflective metal surfaces. Scanline VFX completed the reveal shots of the Helicarrier, from the moment Black Widow and Captain America arrive on the carrier deck to the point where it lifts off. Evil Eye Pictures composited digital backgrounds into shots filmed against a greenscreen for scenes taking place inside the Helicarrier. Colin Strause of Hydraulx said, 'We did the opening ten minutes of the movie, other than the opening set-up in space' including Loki's arrival on Earth and subsequent escape from the S.H.I.E.L.D.
Luma Pictures worked on shots featuring the Helicarrier's bridge and incorporated the graphic monitor displays that were developed by Cantina Creative. Fuel VFX completed shots taking place in and around Tony Stark's penthouse at Stark Tower. Digital Domain created the asteroid environment, where Loki encounters The Other. Method Design in Los Angeles created the film's closing credits. Steve Viola, creative director at Method Design, said, 'This piece was a two-minute, self-contained main on end sequence created entirely in CG.
For each of the shots in the sequence, we designed, modeled, textured, and lit all of the environments and many of the foreground objects. We received assets from Marvel to include in the piece, then heavily re-modeled and re-surfaced them to create a post-battle macro sequence. We also designed a custom typeface for the Main Title of The Avengers as well as 30 credits set in-scene.' Further information: and In November 2011, Marvel announced that, who Captain America: The First Avenger, would write and compose the score for The Avengers. Silvestri said, 'I've worked on films where there have been a number of stars and certainly worked on films where there have been characters of equal weight in terms of their level of importance and profile in the film, but this one is somewhat extreme in that regard because each of these characters has their own world and it's a very different situation. It's very challenging to look for a way to give everyone the weight and consideration they need, but at the same time the film is really about the coming together of these characters, which implies that there is this entity called the Avengers which really has to be representative of all of them together.'
Silvestri developed the score with the at in London, England. Whedon said, 'The score is very old-fashioned, which is why Silvestri was letter-perfect for this movie because he can give you the heightened emotion, the school of 'I'm just feeling a lot right now!' But he can also be extraordinarily cue and character specific, which I love.' In March 2012, American band announced through its Facebook page that its song ' would be included on the film's soundtrack. Additionally, the Indian rock band released a music video for its single 'Hello Andheron', which serves as the theme song for the film's Indian release. Released the soundtrack inspired by the film, Avengers Assemble, on May 1, 2012, the same day as the score.
Marketing Trailers The film was promoted at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International, during which a teaser trailer narrated by Samuel L. Jackson was shown followed by an introduction of the cast. In June 2011, Marvel Studios announced that it would not hold a panel at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International after studio executives decided it was not prepared to compete with its own past and fan expectations with filming still in production.

Of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review of the film, remarking, 'It's clamorous, the save-the-world story is one everyone's seen time and again, and the characters have been around for more than half a century in 500 comic book issues. But Whedon and his cohorts have managed to stir all the personalities and ingredients together so that the resulting dish, however familiar, is irresistibly tasty again.'
To journalist, the film epitomized an exceptional blockbuster. 'It's also the blockbuster,' Travers said, 'I saw in my head when I imagined a movie that brought together the idols of the Marvel world in one shiny, stupendously exciting package. It's Transformers with a brain, a heart and a working sense of humor.' Justin Chang of Variety wrote, 'Like a superior, state-of-the-art model built from reconstituted parts, Joss Whedon's buoyant, witty and robustly entertaining superhero smash-up is escapism of a sophisticated order, boasting a tonal assurance and rich reserves of humor that offset the potentially lumbering and unavoidably formulaic aspects of this 143-minute team-origin story.' Of the Los Angeles Times complimented the film's frenetic pace, while of the commented that it 'provides its fans with exactly what they desire.
Whether it is exactly what they deserve is arguable'. Conversely, of believed that 'while The Avengers is hardly worth raging about, its failures are significant and dispiriting.

Similarly, 's proclaimed Ruffalo's acting to be one of the film's highlights—alongside Downey. 's concluded: 'Ruffalo successfully refreshes the Hulk myth, playing Banner as an adorably bashful nerd-genius who, in contrast to the preening hunks on the team, knows better than to draw attention to himself.'
Travers asserted that the actor resonated a 'scruffy warmth and humor' vibe, while Turan felt that he surpassed predecessors Edward Norton and in playing the character. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly wrote that 'the smartest thing the filmmakers did was to get Mark Ruffalo to play Bruce Banner as a man so sensitive that he's at war, every moment, with himself. (The film finally solves the Hulk problem: He's a lot more fun in small doses.)' Referring to Downey, Joe Morgenstein of —despite complimenting Downey's performance—favored his work in Iron Man over his acting in The Avengers: 'His Iron Man is certainly a team player, but Mr.
Downey comes to the party with two insuperable superpowers: a character of established sophistication—the industrialist/inventor Tony Stark, a sharp-tongued man of the world—and his own quicksilver presence that finds its finest expression in self-irony.' Neumaier praised Evans, stating that he accurately conveyed his character's internal conflicts. Commentators appreciated the character development and dialogue. Reviewer wrote that the script 'sparkles as brightly as the special effects; these people may be wearing ridiculous costumes but they're well fleshed-out underneath.'
