When I was on the set of The Avengers last year, I was lucky enough to see some really amazing concept art for the film. And while the production staff and stars were being very tight-lipped about the storyline, these glimpses clued the visiting press in on a bunch of plot points. There’s Tony Stark falling from his tower — but his armor is following him! Holy crap, Thor, Iron Man, and Cap are all gathered together on a mountainside, meeting for the first time! So the Helicarrier is in the film! And so on…
Of course, now that we’ve all seen the movie a lot of this stuff is old hat. But still, the artwork itself remains undeniably awesome. And some of it has now found its way online, thanks to artists Steve Jung and Nathan Schroeder.
