At this point, youâre probably aware that The Avengers is currently filming on location in Cleveland, as weâve already posted two other stories featuring photos from the set. Todayâs batch of images and videos is pretty damn spoilery, as they reveal what The Avengers will be up against in the film. If youâre staying spoiler-free, Iâd advise you not to click ahead. However, if youâre so inclined, the images are included after the jump.The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson. The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.This is your last chance to turn back if you donât want to see set photos containing some SPOILERS from The Avengers.................Still with me? Alright, these set photos show Chris Evans as Captain America facing off against some guys outfitted with CG-suits. What might these CG-suited men be turned into during post-production on the film, you may ask? Well, the set photos also reveal some type of alien weaponry that theyâre using, so itâs probably safe to assume that those rumors about the Kree and Skrulls will be the villains of the film. We previously reported on the rumored involvement of the two extraterrestrial beingsâ inclusion in the film, and it looks like theyâre probably the baddies after all.Here are the set photos and videos courtesy of Twitter user Discordia77 (via CBM and CelebBuzz):Here's the video (via CBM):Hereâs The Avengers production announcement which features the relevant cast/plot info:
