While You Were Sleeping – The Avengers Filmed A New Scene!

Despite rave reviews at Wednesday’s world premier, the cast of The Avengers was pulled out last night to shoot an additional scene for the theatrical release! During a press conference yesterday, Robert Downey Jr. surprised the crowd when he said: “We are shooting one more scene. Tonight. Not kidding.”

Most people thought he was kidding, but confirmation came later from Mark Ruffalo: “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.”

Chances are, the scene won’t appear in The Avengers. It is more likely that it will be in Thor 2 or Iron Man 3 and they figured that they may as well get it while they still have everyone in the same time zone.
