MARVEL STUDIOS presents in association with PARAMOUNT PICTURES MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, directed by Joss Whedon (SERENITY) from a screenplay by Whedon. The film’s principal photography has taken place in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City.

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in IRON MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, IRON MAN 2, THOR, and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is the super hero team up of a lifetime.

MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS is being produced by Marvel Studios’ President, Kevin Feige, and executive produced by Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Louis D’Esposito, Patty Whitcher, and Jon Favreau. Marvel Studios’ Jeremy Latcham and Victoria Alonso will co-produce.

The creative production team also includes Oscar nominated director of photography Seamus McGarvey (Atonement), production designer James Chinlund (25th Hour), Oscar winning costume designer Alexandra Byrne (Elizabeth: The Golden Age), Oscar winning visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs (Iron Man 2, The Matrix), visual effects producer Susan Pickett (Iron Man, Iron Man 2), stunt coordinator R.A.
