The reps said that about 10 to 15 minutes of the 'Avengers 2' movie will feature Korea with filming to take place in Gangnam and Gyeonggi-do. Among the fiercely competitive movie enterprises in Korea, one was chosen to be in charge and will provide a team with the best Korean staff members at its core.
The original online community that posted this rumor also said 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 Avengers movie did very well in Korea grossing over $50 million and Iron Man 3 also did really well as Korea was the third highest-grossing nation in the box office bringing in $64 million.
Allegedly, filming in Korea will begin sometime in April. The movie is planning to be released in May, 2015! Stay tuned for updates.
