‘The Avengers’ filming in NYC Labor Day Weekend!

The Avengers will be filming around Grand Central Terminal again this weekend. The movie has already shot at the location twice, once was just a few second unit shots and the second time it looked they may have changed their plans due to rain.

Signs for “Group Hug”, the movie’s working title, have been posted around Park Avenue between 33rd Street and 42nd Street in NYC for September 3rd & 4th.

We know they are filming a scene involving pedestrians running through the streets (from aliens?) so hopefully this time the scene will also include some of the main actors!

If you spot them filming this weekend, let us know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com!

The Avengers wraps filming in Cleveland this week.

UPDATE: Signs also spotted around 41st and Madison for Friday- Sunday (9.2-9.4). (Thanks @nafmij)

  1. There is a casting call for Friday also for park exteriors, not sure which park they’re referring to. Also, for this weekend, they’re looking for extras who are willing to get dusty or dirty and run from aliens.

    • No, these are not open casting calls, you need to be registered with the casting agency in order to submit for these, and it is too late at this point to register and be considered for anything filming this soon.

  2. Does anyone have a clear schedule of where and when they will be shooting this weekend? I live in Cleveland and I missed my chance to visit the set when they were here. Long story short I would like to see the last days in New York, but I don’t want to go unless I know for sure it will be worth it.

  3. Just curious as to which NYC casting agency hired extras for “Group Hug” (Avengers)? Never saw a listing and could never find info! Would’ve been great to work on this, even as an extra! Appreciate any info! Thanks!

  4. I work on the corner of 40th and Park. In front of 101 Park Avenue, there have started to put up props for the movie (airplane wing?). Signs say “Group Hug”. I don’t think there will be any action soon. Not much activity right now. But it looks markedly different than when I left work last night.

    • Keep us posted! Are there any rumors about stars showing up, or what scene they are shooting there? I’m interested in driving out and checking it out.

      • Went out for a coffee, and things are jumping. Definitely no stars yet. They are doing some movie magic setting up over there. Lots of crew getting it ready. Very big green screen set up.

  5. Looks like they are just setting up the scene by 101 Park Ave for filming this weekend. They were still setting up when I went by a little while ago. There was alot of rubble and destruction and back of Quinjet. Guessing today’s filming is by Central Park.

      • SPOILERS ALERT. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Robert Downey, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Stellan Skarsgard, Mark Ruffalo were all there. I talked to Tom for a bit and he said he’s wrapped. It looked like Hemsworth was wrapped after today too cuz he was hugging crew members left and right (just like Tom) as to say goodbye. Only Thor and Loki were in full costume. Everyone else was wearing civilian clothing. There was a sports car that was tarped the whole time. A S.H.I.E.L.D. Acura being protected like the president was in it and a slick black motorcycle around. The scene that was shot involved something that looked like an Asgardian bomb, which goes off and all of them end up staring up into the sky (CGI Manhattan mushroom cloud perhaps? lol) with all the extras in the pond fountain looking up as well.

  6. Chris Evans & Stan Lee were filming probably Lee’s cameo w/i the last couple of hours outside a restaurant on the southwest corner of 42nd & Park.

    • Chris Evans & Stan Lee were shooting from 10-noon. But Chris is done for the day. Stan’s just hanging out. Everyone else (Tom, Jeremy and Scarlett) left this morning after the Quinjet scene was shot. They completely took apart the Quinjet wing and are cleaning up the “upturned sidewalk” debris right now. If you wanna see extras run and stunt guys chase them, you can head to 41st St and Madison. That’s all that’s left for today. Tomorrow is all stunt people. Evans is scheduled to do something around 5 or so? He told me he had to catch a flight when he was running into his chauffeured Escalade from his trailer when fans were trying to get autos and pics but I think he just wanted to get away from us.

  7. so did anyone see Chris Evans today? I missed everything. I ended up walking by when a bunch of people were lined up in front of his trailers. Anyone see anything?
