“The Avengers: Age of Ultron” filming has been taking place in South Africa, and recent videos uploaded to Instagram show what appears to be a scene for the Hulk tearing through Johannesburg.

Website Comic Book Movie found Instagram photos and videos of the shoot as well as a photo that was published on Twitter, suggesting it’s a scene with mass destruction.

The scenes show chaos, fleeing people, and a box truck getting pushed around by an unseen force.

In another video, two members of the film production crew are rotating a bust of the Hulk.

 

The uploads come as Marvel announced that key elements of the Joss Whedon-directed film will be shot in Seoul, South Korea.

“South Korea is the perfect location for a movie of this magnitude because it features cutting-edge technology, beautiful landscapes and spectacular architecture,” Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said in a statement obtained by IGN. “We would especially like to thank the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) for making it possible for Avengers: Age of Ultron to come to Korea.”

“We’re very excited to have the production in Korea, and also expect this to serve as the footstep of many more opportunities yet to come,” said the Republic of Korea’s minister of MCST, Yoo Jinryong.

“The Avengers: Age of Ultron” is opening May 1, 2015, and is starring Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson will also star in the film as Quicksilver and Elizabeth Olsen will join as Scarlet Witch.

More shooting for the film will take place in South Africa and Aosta Valley, Italy. Other locations have yet to be announced.
