Avengers brought closer together by cineSync

Tuesday, 11 May 2010

In a recent short interview with MTV, Iron Man 2 director Jon Favreau discussed how cineSync played a role in expanding the Marvel Universe and potentially moving towards a future Avengers movie.

From MTV Online:

"We introduced Captain America's shield briefly in one shot in the last film," Favreau told MTV News. "An ILM artist put it in there as a joke to us for our cinesync sessions, when we're approving visual effects."

"They got a laugh out of it, and I said, 'Leave it in, that's pretty cool — let's see if anybody sees it,'" he explained. "Of course, everybody saw it — so now it really was in his room, so we had figure out how to deal with the reality that the shield was in his workshop."

As for why it's there, Favreau wouldn't divulge any information about the conversations he's had with the filmmakers behind the other Marvel movies — except to say that they've had them.

"We've talked about it," he said. "Let's see what ['Captain America' director] Joe Johnston does."
