Disney's ABC Studios was scheduled to begin filming a show titled "CRIME" in Albany last week, but the studio later confirmed to the Times Union that "CRIME" was a cover title for "The Punisher," a series that is part of Marvel's cinematic universe of films and shows including "The Avengers."

On its Facebook page, the Central Avenue Business Improvement District warned that the scenes would include simulated gunfire, stunts and car chases, and that Albany Police would be present to supervise and assist. One scene will involve an ambulance being dropped from on overpass on to a parking lot below, according to the Times Union.

They also posted a list of street closures that would be affected by filming, which will take place from 6 AM until 9:30 PM. Detours will allow access to businesses and will diver traffic around North Lake Ave. between Clinton Ave. and Washington St.
