Upcoming "Avengers" movie will be filmed in Cleveland

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Avengers are coming to Cleveland!

Gov. John Kasich announced that the upcoming Marvel movie featuring the superhero team The Avengers, scheduled for a 2012 release, will be filmed in Cleveland.

He made the announcement before Mayor Frank Jackson's State of the City address this afternoon at the City Club.

"I'm really pleased that the city is going to get this movie," he said. "It's fantastic. It required quick and hard work between the community here and the state of Ohio, something that hasn't always happened. We won another one from Michigan. I'm thrilled we are going to have this here. I'm just bucking for a part as Governator 2."

Dibs on ScarJo.

Pretty sure the last blockbuster movie shot in Cleveland was Spider-Man 3 in '06 (I think?), so it's been a while. Good news.

A new Superman movie is supposed to be filmed here, too! I love that we're starting to get more recognition as a place to film movies.

By the way, this sort of makes up for the fact that the movie Kill The Irishman, a true story that took place in Cleveland, was filmed in Detroit.

It seems Kasich misspoke and meant to say superhero, not superman. So it's only going to be The Avengers.
