Product placement apparently moves faster than the speed of light. Within days of the first electric Harley-Davidson, dubbed Project Livewire, being revealed to the public, it's already clear that the bike will star in next summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Our pals at Road & Track this morning have photos and videos of a Scarlett "Black Widow" Johannson stunt double on the red-and-black electric sportbike on the movie set in Seoul, South Korea. The last time we saw ScarJo as the Black Widow, she was rocking a Corvette Stingray in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I guess she decided two wheels are better than four.

R&T notes that you can expect a full promotional blitz for Project Livewire as the film inches closer to its release. As we noted on Monday, the bike isn't for sale, but will be used to tour the country and get Harley customers' input on what they want from future electric motorcycles.

And here's some spy video from the Avengers set, which also shows Captain America lounging on top of the new 2015 Audi TT. Or it's the old one. I can't tell. They look the same.
