There have been speculations recently that the Hollywood blockbuster superhero movie 'Avengers 2: Age of Ultron' is set to film a part of a movie in Korea.  While actor, Mark Ruffalo (Incredible Hulk) has answered this rumour on his Twitter by saying, "No plan at this moment for Avengers to Shoot in Korea, but the Marvel universe is big" on January 19, a lot of movie insiders claimed that this was true on January 20.

Representatives said that around 10 to 15 minutes of the 'Avengers 2' movie will include Korea with filming to take place in Gangnam and Gyeonggi-do.  Among the strong competitive movie enterprises in Korea, one was picked to be in charge and will provide a team with the best Korean staff members at its core. 

The online community that originally posted this rumour also mentioned that there was one villain who could be played by a Korean actress, possibly Kim So Yeon, Han Ye Seul, or Kim Min Jung. 

The first part of the Avengers movie did very well in Korea grossing over $50 million while, another Marvel movie, Iron Man 3 also did really well as Korea was the third highest-grossing nation in the box office bringing in $64 million.

Apparently, filming in Korea will begin sometime in April and the movie is being planned to be released in May, 2015.

What are your comments on Marvel choosing Korea?
