Plain Dealer:
Hordes of extras ran screaming out of Terminal Tower and onto Public Square Monday night --- several times. Filming of "The Avengers" movie moved from East Ninth Street to Public Square, which has been transformed into a modern-day beer garden in Stuttgart, Germany, complete with German flags and street signs.
Hundreds of excited onlookers, hoping to catch a glimpse of the action or one of the stars, gathered to watch as night fell and Public Square lit up with spotlights and neon.
At 11:15, those still there were rewarded when Tom Hiddleston, the actor playing the Norse god of mischief Loki, Thor's half brother, appeared outside Terminal Tower in gleaming gold armor and a long hooked lance. With him later was Joss Whedon, the director of the movie, going over the scene.
The rehearsal of screaming extras only added to the thrill of being near the set.
This was the set they were building on Saturday when I was up there:
