Posted 01.27.12 by Ryan Marvel Studios and parent company Disney have yet to release The Avengers, but they're already hard at work on "phase two" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with Iron Man 3. That movie was set to start shooting at the end of May, after The Avengers had opened, but Comicbook.com reports the date's been moved up and filming could start as early as the end of April or the first week of May in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Marvel would not officially confirm the production change. It's likely that the studio will want Robert Downey Jr. to do press for The Avengers through April and, possibly, through The Avengers' opening date of May 4th. However, production could begin without Downey. "It is not April for sure," another Marvel source later told the site. Whether it shoots in early or late May, Iron Man 3 is set for a May 3, 2013 release date.

Posted 10.19.11 by BrentJS Marvel has released online one of the four deleted scenes that will be included on the upcoming Blu-ray release of Captain America: The First Avenger. The action-packed scene features Steve Rogers' (Chris Evans) childhood friend, James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Stan), fighting alongside Dum Dum Dugan (Neal McDonough) and the rest of The Howling Commandos at the Battle at Azzano against the hordes of HYDRA and their devastating new weaponry.
Unlike most deleted scenes, which add little to the plot and are not really missed in the final cut, this scene actually depicts a pivotal moment that could have easily been left in director Joe Johnston's final cut of the movie. It was Bucky's capture by HYDRA following the conflict in this scene that propelled Rogers from playing the hero on USO stages to becoming a real hero by single-handedly invading the HYDRA base to free Bucky and the rest of The Howling Commandos.
