The Avengers will start shooting a week from MondayDirector Joss Whedon revealed that production on The Avengers will start one week from today. Here's what he had to say about this superhero ensemble below. "We're just a hardscrabble bunch. Guerilla filmmaking. I start production a week from Monday. I'm going to get started on the script now. Apparently that's a thing. I don't get it. Improv stunts are always way more exciting-looking."
