‘Avengers’ To Film Near Cincinnati
The executive director of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission says the superhero movie “The Avengers” will spend two weeks filming in the area.
Kristen Erwin said the location is within 30 miles of Cincinnati but won’t specify where it is.
The stars of the Marvel Studios feature include Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson as Col. Nick Fury and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Erwin said director Joss Whedon plans to film in Cleveland and the Cincinnati area this summer.
Ohio tax credits for filmmaking helped lure the project to the state.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports Marvel’s $170-million budget is 10 times the size of George Clooney’s budget for “The Ides of March,” which filmed in southwest Ohio earlier this year.
