The 129-page shooting draft screenplay, penned by Joss Whedon, was reportedly offered to website Obsessed With Film for a price by an anonymous source.
"I have one hard copy that I am looking to sell and I will not be making any copies, therefore exclusivity is guaranteed," the script's owner told the UK movie site. "Considering that the release of The Avengers is over a year away this script should generate a substantial amount of traffic for the website that acquires it."
The source then provided two pictures of script pages to prove its authenticity. The document, dated March 8, carries the title 'Group Hug' and is watermarked with Jackson's name.
The Pulp Fiction star will play Nick Fury in the Marvel ensemble movie, which features Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans).
Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures recently unveiled the first picture from the set of the comic book blockbuster. The promo image below shows empty chairs for each hero in front of The Avengers logo:
