Tiny spoiler alert: The Hulk destroys parts of downtown Johannesburg in Marvel Studios’ new Avengers movie, Age of Ultron!

We interviewed Christine Service, Country Manager for the Walt Disney Company Africa.

Listen to the audio (scroll down) for detail.

— Christine Service, Country Manager for the Walt Disney Company Africa

We have another film that starts shooting in Johannesburg in May.
— Christine Service, Country Manager for the Walt Disney Company Africa
