Director 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."

We reported last week that The Avengers will hire 2,000 extras for their shoot in Cleveland, Ohio. That portion of filming won't commence until August. It isn't clear where The Avengers will first start shooting next week.
