The upcoming sequel of Hollywood blockbuster The Avengers will soon be taking over the streets of Seoul from March 30 to April 14, thanks to an agreement made between the Korean government, the Korean Film Commission and Marvel Studios.
Authorities have confirmed production of Avengers: Age of Ultron will shut down many major streets and locations that may cause quite an inconvenience for Seoulites.

During film production, residents will have limited access to places such as the Gangnam Subway Station, Mapo Grand Bridge, Cheongdam Grand Bridge, Saebit Dungdungseom islands, and parts of the Digital Media City in Sangam-dong. Detours will be created to minimize traffic caused by the film.
Although the movie may be creating a bit of chaos in the city, Korean citizens can look forward to many major scenes of the film occurring in their capital, displaying Seoul as a modern metropolis with stunning scenery.

They can also look forward to Korean actress Kim Soo-hyun, a.k.a. Claudia Kim, as she reportedly takes on a supporting role as a doctor accompanying Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.
Kim recently attended the red carpet premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier in Los Angeles and walked the red carpet.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said Korea was a “perfect location” for their blockbuster movie because “it features cutting-edge technology, beautiful landscapes and spectacular architecture,” according to a statement released on Marvel.com.
The superheroes of The Avengers will make their comeback with the upcoming sequel set to debut in the United States on May 1, 2015 and approximately one month later in South Korea.
