Scarlett Johansson Takes "The Avengers" to D23


Making his way to the Land Down Under, Taylor Lautner was spotted touching down at Melbourne Airport in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday (August 21).

Wearing a big smile on his face to go with a mostly-black ensemble, the "Twilight" heartthrob was escorted through the terminal as he's in town for a short Aussie promotional tour tied with his upcoming movie "Abduction".

Set to hit theaters on September 23rd, the thriller caper co-stars Lily Collins while being "centered on a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website."

After the movie's theatrical release, "Abduction" is lined up to become Lionsgate's very first early-release VOD test film - with the picture to be made available via VOD beginning three months after it's cinema debut.

According to Bloomberg, Lautner's film "will be offered for $6.99 in standard definition and $7.99 in HD, well below the typical early release prices of around $30."

Having skipped out on Comic-Con 2011, the stars of "The Avengers" took center stage to the delight of the many comic book crazed fans in Anaheim, California on Saturday (August 20).

On-hand for Disney's D23 Expo, Scarlett Johansson joined co-stars Jeremy Renner, Cobie Smulders, Chris Hemsworth and Robert Downey Jr at the Anaheim Convention Center venue to promote their in-the-works Joss Whedon directed action flick.

While remaining tight-lipped on the storyline, the audience was treated to two short clips from the film - with the material including "tense scenes between Nick Fury and Loki, and Iron Man alter-ego Tony Stark and the god-gone-wild," according to EW.

Set to take over theaters on May 4, 2012, "The Avengers" also stars Chris Evans, Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Bettany and Stellan SkarsgÄrd.
