An entertainment website has unveiled video footage from the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron being filmed on part of the University of East Anglia campus last week.

The footage on www.cinemablend.com stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark filming a scene for the next Avengers film.

While film fans were allowed to watch what was happening at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts from a distance, they were ordered to put their mobile phones and cameras away. At one point a student tried to snatch a few photos from a hall of residence window - only for a security guard to pay him a visit and make him delete his photos.

The large 'A' sign for the Avengers could be clearly seen on the Sainsbury Centre's Modern Life Café which had four high performance cars positioned outside.
