Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

[Lock Jaw]

Very interesting. I wonder if Thanos is the Guardians of the Galaxy villain then, and has nothing to do with Avengers 2.

[slik]

Yondu is the villain in Guardians of the Galaxy, though it's possible Benicio Del Toro's 'The Collector' is as well, as he's booked for several Marvel films.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm thinking Thanos will be the villain of Avengers 3, which RDJ is already signed, and it also being the big finale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and reboots come about.

[Fignuts]

I like that idea. Very difficult to top Thanos as a threat, so it's good that they're saving him for the finale. I imagine he'll still play a part in age of ultron, albeit behind the curtain.


In other news, ffffcffffffffffuck yeah ultrooooooooooon

[alvarado52]

BONER ALERT!!!!!


I agree with the idea of Thanos being THE villian to wrap up the universe. Wondering when they'll begin to introduce Ultron/Hank Pyme.

[Fignuts]

Shield tv show would make the most sense.

[The Destroyer]

As long as it's not actually an adaptation of Age of Ultron.

[Fignuts]

I kinda doubt it. Those alternate reality hijinks really only work because of the long running "ultron will eventually win" inevitability.

[dronepool]

Cool, but I'll save the excitement oh my gods and satans for the trailer. It should be good, though. Out of phase 2 Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: The Winter Soldier have my enthusiasm so far.

[Shadow]

Jebus Age of Ultron eh? Not sure if digging.

Mostly cause Ant-Man's in phase 3 so...

[Lock Jaw]

If they introduce Hank Pym in Avengers in some way, it does nothing but boost ticket sales for the relatively low-profile Ant-Man movie.

Of course, they could just have Ultron have nothing to do with Hank Pym at all.

[Kalyx triaD]

More than likely Ultron will be tied to Stark in this universe, may have something to do with JARVIS as well.

[Lock Jaw]

Huzzah for wild speculation

[McLegend]

I do love wild speculation.

Considering Ultron's cool and I couldn't care less if Ant Man even makes an appearance, I don't care.

In fact, I'm sort of hoping Kalyx is right.

[Blitz]

Huzzah for wild speculation
I believe I read something about the Comicon teaser showing Iron Man's helmet being reshaped into Ultron's head. So I wouldn't call it that wild.

[Lock Jaw]

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=46818

Well, Whedon says the story is nothing to do with the Age of Ultron comic series, and that Hank Pym is definitely not in the movie and not involved in Ultron's origin.

[Fignuts]

Wouldn't be surprised if Thanos has a shadowy hand in giving ultron it's sentience.

[Lock Jaw]

Hopefully not literally a shadowy hand

[Hanso Amore]

With Iron Man 3 showing more and more automation in Starks suits, I wouldnt be surprised to have this be some kind of Uber Ironman suit that is taken over and powered by Thanos and the Avengers have to stop.

[Lock Jaw]

With the way Iron Man 3 ended, having Ultron come about as a result of maybe someone gathering all the Iron Man suit debris, it would be a good way to bring Tony back into the hero game.

[slik]

Maybe Jarvis turns heel on Tony?

[Kalyx triaD]

We kinda alluded to that, yes. Would be interesting, as JARVIS seemed more human as the MCU went on. I liked his flustered tone in IM3, for instance.

[McLegend]

Man a Jarvis heel turn would be devastating. I love Jarvis...

[Lock Jaw]

WHAT IF THAT KID FROM IRON MAN 3 BUILDS ULTRON?!

[Hanso Amore]

Jarvis is the third guy!

*leg drop on war machine*

[Kane Knight]

Man a Jarvis heel turn would be devastating. I love Jarvis...

It'll turn out to be a Doombot. Or a Life Model Decoy. Somehow.

[Fignuts]

I like Hank Pym, but I like the Idea of Stark inventing ultron better. That way they don't have dedicate a portion of the movie introducing a new character that most people won't give a shit about anyway.

[Miotch]

Hank Pym is one of the best Marvel characters if done correctly, and probably the worst if done incorrectly.

I may or may not expand on this some time later when it's not 1:07 in the morning.

[Sixx]

Does "done correctly" include spousal abuse?

[Hanso Amore]

Hank Pym blows, and would be shit in the Avengers movie. Plus the general masses would laugh at the name Ant Man

[Kane Knight]

Most of his other aliases aren't much better, either.

[Kalyx triaD]

I have a distinct dislike for 'Giant-Man'. Yellow Jacket has mass market appeal, I think.

[Kalyx triaD]

We're mostly up to date here.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah JARVIS is totally Ultron. Now we just sit back and see how this happens.

[Skippord]

that's kind of what we do all along

[Sixx]

Yeah JARVIS is totally Ultron. Now we just sit back and see how this happens.

You're basing this on what they said about Stark being Ultron's creator?

[Kalyx triaD]

Nope, though he is more likely to be at fault. Recent animatics revealed a shelved idea of turning JARVIS evil for the first Avengers. Something happens to JARVIS either in Avengers 2 or some kind of seed we missed in Iron Man 3, or the heel-turn's to come in the remaining Phase 2 movies.

[Sixx]

Hmm, I'm not sure if I like that idea.

I mean, what does he do, somehow suddenly creates a body for himself by modifying some Iron Man armor? Meh.

Also, dunno, I always liked how everyone could blame Pym for Ultron.

[Miotch]

Who would you like to see in the role's of Pietro and Wanda?

[Sixx]

Or do they keep Ultron as a program without a body?

[DaveBrawl]

Who would you like to see in the role's of Pietro and Wanda?
I don't know about Quicksilver, but supposedly the Olsen twin's younger sister Elizabeth is playing the Scarlet Witch.

[Miotch]

Don't hate it. Gonna need a mad effective push up bra though.

[Kalyx triaD]

The dude from Kick-Ass is all but confirmed for the part of Quicksilver. I like it. He's already talking to Whedon about accents and such, he pretty much has the part.

[Reavant]

So not clicking that.

Also, no matter how hard I try, I can't picture the kick ass dude as quicksilver.

[Skippord]

http://screenrant.com/avengers-2-ultron-james-spader-cast/

James Spader is Ultron

[Sixx]

So, Ultron's gonna have a human face?

Ok, let's see how this works out. Although I was hoping for a badass robot.

[Miotch]

I have my doubts of the legitimacy of that article.

[Blonde Moment]

Disappointing

[Skippord]

I have my doubts of the legitimacy of that article.

Well good then. I actually think that's pretty decent casting.

[Lock Jaw]

So, Ultron's gonna have a human face?

Spader will be doing the voice, doesn't mean they will make Ultron look like him.

Of course, they very well could.

[Sixx]

Spader will be doing the voice, doesn't mean they will make Ultron look like him.

Of course, they very well could.

One of those news articles (can't be bothered to click on all of them now) said Ultron would be using Spader's "face and voice".

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, ok. Then maybe they will just spraypaint him silver and add some blinking lights to him.

[Fignuts]

Could be something where they use the classic ultron helmet, with his face inside the huge mouth being formed by that energy effect?

[slik]

I am more of a DC guy so I'm not super-familiar with Ultron so I have to ask:

How is a robot a threat to Thor or Hulk?

[Kane Knight]

I am more of a DC guy so I'm not super-familiar with Ultron so I have to ask:

How is a robot a threat to Thor or Hulk?

He's normally given Adamantium, which I forget the DC equivalent of, but it comprises Wolverine's skeleton, sometimes Captain America's shield, and is virtually indestructible.

His laser blasts also pack quite a punch.

[Fignuts]

He's made of adamantium for one thing. The big threat is his intelligence. He's smarter than any hero in the marvel universe. And he improves himself and gets smarter all the time.

Because of this, There is a long running theme in marvel that no matter what, Ultron eventually wins. We've seen this in alternate futures like the recent Age of Ultron arc.

So yeah, he's a robot, but he's an incredible powerful robot made of I breakable metal that is always making himself stronger and smarter.

The reason Ultron is one of my favorite villains is that he's one of the only villains who can go toe to toe with Thor, yet can still be vulnerable if in a small way, to the less powerful avengers.

That's always been the biggest problem with Avengers. Thor's a character who has gone one on one with Galctus, celestials, and Ego the living Planet. How do you create a villain that can challenge Thor, yet isn't horribly more powerful than the rest of the avengers.

Ultron is usually defeated due to the combination of Thors strength, iron mans intelligence, Caps strategic prowess, unique talents of other members, and of course Ultrons underestimation, and lack of understanding of the human spirit.

That's why I don't like it when he shows up in solo books. It should always take the whole team to beat him.

[Kane Knight]

How do you create a villain that can challenge Thor, yet isn't horribly more powerful than the rest of the avengers.

99% of the time, you opt to write the characters inconsistently.

[Kalyx triaD]

Thanks to Samuel L Jackson, who's Nick Fury seems to have his eye on things lately, we now know that Elizabeth Olsen is indeed Scarlet Witch after hard rumors on the matter. This means the siblings for the sequel are cast and done.

Just so we're clear, only their abilities and relationship will be focused on, not their fatherly relation. That will most likely be explored with Quicksilver in Days of Future Past. It would have been interesting if they cast Aaron in both movies, but I guess this goes to show at least Marvel/Disney and Fox will never cross over.

[Kalyx triaD]

Iron Patriot, more than likely, is one of the new Avengers. Good job Rhodes, and great for Don Cheadle getting a promotion of sorts in the MCU.

This does raise the question of overlap with Stark being an Avenger. Though his contract (and honestly taxing action hero turn for his age) in consideration, I imagine Iron Patriot will be a long term replacement of sorts going forward. I imagine Stark will Suit Up in the MCU's climax, be it a battle with Thanos or - and this is me speculating - a Civil War.

[Lock Jaw]

Calling it now, War Machine dies in the movie.

At the end of Iron Man 3, Stark "retired" from being Iron Man. So when the Avengers are needed again, he puts forward Rhodey to take his spot, while he just acts as a "consultant" like SHIELD originally had him as. Rhodey gets killed in fast blink-and-you-miss-it Whedon style and pushes Tony to becoming Iron Man again.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Still drunk. Read the title as Age of Orton and wondered what the Avengers were doing with Orton.

As much as I'd like a Civil War movie, I just don't see it.

Tony is too much of a loveable dick in the MCU, as opposed to a huge asshole in the comics.

Unless they somehow change who's for the registration act and who's not.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't know; while Thanos' threat is looming, the themes of Phase 2 seem to point to Civil War more than War of the Gems.

[Lock Jaw]

No way Civil War happens. They would need to introduce a whole lot more characters. Plus the government/SHIELD pretty much knows everybody's "secret identities" already anyways.

[Fignuts]

They were already at eachothers throats, and fighting enough in the first movie. Would feel redundant if they did it again, even if it was a larger scale. I think we get a little more dissension in the second movie, but then by the third movie, they are a well oiled unit, with a tremendous bond between one another. They'll have to be to stand a chance against Thanos.

Plus, I think both Thanos and Civil War are both too big to be in the same movie together. To truly do justice to either one, they need the whole film dedicated to just them. Together, one will inevitably take from the other.

[Shadow]

And we'd need a Phase 4 which, by all accounts, won't be happening.

At least not with this perfect cast.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah Avengers 3 will more than likely be the big finale and everything gets rebooted from there.

[McLegend]

I hope it doesn't get rebooted. I don't care if it's new actors, but I hope they keep the same "universe."

[Reavant]

The only way I wouldnt mind a reboot is if marvel is able to some day get the rights to all the characters and have the entire universe back in their umbrella


SECRET WARS MOVIE!!!

[Miotch]

Pretty sure I've said it before, but if they do reboot the universe I'd be OK with it if they were able to do something darker along the lines of the Ultimate universe.

[Lock Jaw]

Thomas Kretschmann has been cast as Baron Von Strucker

[JimmyMess]

[ClockShot]

Paul Bettany tapped to play Vision.

Which I'm trying to wrap my head around since he voiced Jarvis in all the Iron Man movies.

Jarvis: Mr. Stark, the suit is almost destroyed.

Vision: I WILL DESTROY YOU!

[alvarado52]

Maybe Jarvis IS Vision!?

[Lock Jaw]

Finkle is Einhorn

[Shadow]

Yeah this is pretty logical. Ultron turns out to be JARVIS' replacement, when that goes tits up, Stark hauls JARVIS out of the suit and throws him in his own body or something.

[Fignuts]

Can't fucking wait.

Glad Wanda isn't a 5 year old.

[parkmania]

Also it seems we have robotic mooks for the Avengers to beat up.

Please tell me it's not done Power Rangers-style where a bunch of robots are just fodder to attempt to wear down the heroes while the big baddie sits back and takes pot shots.

[Kalyx triaD]

You mean like Avengers 1?

Captain America?

Iron Man 2?

Basically anything where the big bad has a mook army?

I wouldn't even consider that a PR thing.

[DaveBrawl]

Only if there are sparks flying off everyone's chest.

And putty patrollers.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, what?

The bad guy having minions is comic books 101.

[Hanso Amore]

I seriously expect alot of action in this film, and dotn want to watch the Avengers fight only ultron for 45 minutes straight.

Imagine the first movie if the entire NY scene was just loki?

[Shadow]

Ultron gets control of a Hulkbuster Armor?

Man I miss Igor.

[The Destroyer]

First shots from filming are out, proper looks at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. And possibly Ultron (of sorts). Not going to post them here, link below:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=96674

[Blitz]

Blows me away how much better Quicksilver looks compared to Days of Future Past. Wanda looking great too.

[alvarado52]

I have this theory:

Some shit happens with Jarvis, shutting him down. It forces Tony to make Jarvis 2.0, which is the Ultron AI. Some shit goes down where Ultron turns on the Avengers, starts using Starks armors against them such as the Hulkbuster.

So inevitably, these armors start to fall, at which point Ultron says "fuck it" and conditions on of the armors into his own personal shell, which is sorta what the Age of Ultron teaser plays up (Iron Man helmet changing into Ultron). Ultron puts a hurt on 'em, Jarvis comes back as Vision, and scene.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe that is actually just Tony Stark in the Hulkbuster suit.

Maybe The Hulk is on a misunderstood or manufactured rampage... and draw Tony out of "retirement" to try to calm down/get his friend under control.

[Shadow]

Word for word I think that's what's going to happen. It's the best story that can be told with what they've got. Though I'm gonna say that nothing makes Jarvis shut down, Ultron is just his replacement AI for Tony's new line of armors. But everything else? Gravy.

[Kalyx triaD]

Wanda looks gorgeous, even in 'on-set' pics with no filter or anything. Her look echoes her design from the X-Men evolution cartoon. I love it.

Great to see Hawkeye again. He was missing all Phase 2, hope he gets extra screen time for that.

That robot mock-up may be Ultron, or a higher mook. Whatever's it's standing in for is fairly bulky.

Yeah Quicksilver makes Days Quicksilver look retched. Good thing that X-Men trailer was so awesome.

[Fignuts]

Hoping Wanda and Quicksilver get actual costumes later in the movie, but it still looks good as is.

[parkmania]

Cap (in new outfit) in South Korea:

I'm gonna play it.

[alvarado52]

Looks like a decent amalgamation between Cap 1 and Avengers Cap, except with rounded shoulder pads.

[Kalyx triaD]

On that, too bad Hawkeye doesn't get a new suit.

Wonder what Tony's new suit looks like, other than the Hulkbuster.

[Fignuts]

Hawkeye's costume would be hard to translate to the screen, without looking ridiculous.

I'm alright with what they have. He should have shades though. Cool black ops spy shades.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm not saying throw the guy in all purple, but some kind of update would be fine.

[Fignuts]

Shades.

[Hanso Amore]

I would love to see him shirtless in bluie jeans, riding the motorcycle from the bat out of hell album covers

[Lock Jaw]

[Kalyx triaD]

It means whatever I use it for. It's a word, and they don't control me.

On the convention scene, SWAG means Shit/Stuff We All Get.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cap's New Suit (Better Shot):

http://www.flickeringmyth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/cap3.png

More than likely of Stark's design. Retains elements of his stealth suit, along with the WWII bulk we already seen in the vid.

I dig it so much more than the Avengers suit

[McLegend]

I liked the Suit from The Avengers.

[Kalyx triaD]

Tony Stark has devised a plan that won't require him to put on the Iron Man suit anymore, and should allow Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk to get some much needed R&R as well. His solution is Ultron, self-aware, self-teaching, artificial intelligence designed to help assess threats, and direct Stark's Iron Legion of drones to battle evildoers instead.

IRON PATRIOT!

Fury confirmed.

Thor's suit in between Dark World and 'alien' armor, like how Cap's suit is in between Winter Soldier and First Avenger.

Quicksilver still looks kinda tacky, but so in love with Wanda right now.

[Lock Jaw]

Loving Cap's suit

[JimmyMess]

I love that Hulk's wardrobe is just the coathanger

[XL]

Is it not his purple stretchy pants?

[Rammsteinmad]

Cap's costume looks amazing!

Ah fuck they all do!

[slik]

Quicksilver can't get a good costume in a superhero flick to save his life...

[Kalyx triaD]

His garb in X-Men made sense in context.

[Kalyx triaD]

- The Twins will work for Ultron. They were teased as antagonists already, but now we know they aren't acting on their own. This would mean Ultron will be in contact with ex-Hydra criminal Baron.

- Like Bane (and many other modern villains), Ultron seems like a nice guy if not for the kill us all thing.

- Yeah, we all guessed correctly that Vision is JARVIS in physical form. That is two machines Stark 'birthed', brothers in a sense.

- Wanda has her mind-fuck powers as well as her telekinesis hex-magic whateverthefuck.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm kinda excited about this film. I've been getting into the Marvel film/TV universe as of late, though I've never read the comics.

[Kalyx triaD]

If the movie captures the vibe of that art (and they remarkably tend to), I am so gonna jizz in that theater.

Just dawned on me they're doing another mega-poster like the first movie.

Elizabeth does not have a great rack, but it's workable.

Feel like with Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver, the team May be too large...

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool.

[Fignuts]

Feel like with Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver, the team May be too large...

Only gonna get bigger for phase 3.

Joss will make it work.

[Kalyx triaD]

More than likely we're gonna have rotating teams after part 2.

[loopydate]

Only gonna get bigger for phase 3.

Joss will make it work.

Nobody juggles a huge ensemble quite like Joss. I have faith.

[JimmyMess]

Feel like with Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver, the team May be too large...

would vision be a permanent member though?

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Who's that flying above the melee in the background? For some reason I think Magneto, but I know I am wrong.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Oh, they should have got the guy who played Quicksilver in the X-men film to be in the Avengers.

Gonna go ahead and assume that you know they can't do that.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I know that different studios own the rights to different Marvel creation's/etc; but still, Evan Peter was one of the best things about the X-men film.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also let's not pretend everybody wasn't super negative about him before the movie.

[Kalyx triaD]

Prof. Selvig will return. I'm also thinking his days are numbered.

Somebody's gotta die, just saying.

[loopydate]

Nah, they'll just kill Coulsen again.

Vision Revealed in Promo Art:

[Swiss Ultimate]

No Black Widow?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Or maybe she's behind the dude.

[XL]

Yeah, you can see an arm there.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Little dude needs to sit down.

[Rammsteinmad]

I'll wait until the film comes out to pass judgement, but I'm not sure a 5-foot Chinese dude will work as Vision.

[Kalyx triaD]

Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.

[Miotch]

So everything we already knew about the film in 2 succinct paragraphs.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes. But what's important here is they never drop press releases before shit starts getting cut and printed. We should have something to see by Superbowl.

[Destor]

that description makes it sound awful. i dont think it will be but man is that an unappealing piece of writing

[Fox]

What are you on about? That sounds amazing.

The Avengers could be summed up as "when an other-worldly alien army makes an alliance with spurned of the throne Asgardian Loki, an unlikely team of superheroes must band together to save the world from ultimate destruction."

And that shit was awesome.

[loopydate]

Yeah, it's a press release. They're always a little dry. They have to paint with broad strokes to avoid spoiling anything that hasn't already been leaked. Marvel knows what they're doing. I'm not worried.

[Destor]

Not saying it reflects the movie. Just reading it and im like "planet hangs in the balance" villainous Ultron" etc and im thinking wow...it sounds like a saturday morning cartoon.

Im sure i will love the movie however.

[Kalyx triaD]

Saturday morning cartoons are awesome though.

[Destor]

Nooooooooo. They just were because we were 5.

[Kalyx triaD]

Avengers awoken my inner 5yo though.

[Fox]

These movies are basically Saturday morning cartoons come to life. No, they ARE Saturday morning cartoons come to life.

[Destor]

No, these movies are really good.

[Kalyx triaD]

What's up with the false dichotomy of 'Saturday morning cartoons or good movies'?

[Fignuts]

Yeah, the whole reason I like these movies over the Dark Knight stuff, is that it's bright and colorful like a comic book come to life.

[Sixx]

Seeing how everything's supposed to be dark and gritty nowadays, even some children stories, that is really something. I guess maybe people are as sick of everything being grey and depressing as I am and that's why they throw all their money at Marvel.

[Damian Rey]

People will throw their money at anything they did entertaining. TDK trilogy and MOS were darker films and made heaps of money.

[Damian Rey]

As for the synopsis, I'm sure the movie will be fine. My only concern is there's a ton of characters, but that was handed perfectly last time, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

[Fignuts]

Rumors flying around that Avengers 3 might be split into two movies, released in back to back years, as is the fad with a lot of franchises these days.

They'd have to either extend the contracts of RDJ and Evans which would cost a lot of money, or kill them off in the first part, so who knows if all this is true.

[Kalyx triaD]

Wouldn't that screw with the linear, macro-arc nature of the MCU? It's like the season finale of X-Files split between May of '97 and May '98. The timeline of 'episodes' in between will be strange.

[Lock Jaw]

Not if they structure a massive undertaking where the two Avengers movies are bookends to a complete story. Like after the first film, things are at a place where they split up as individuals or smaller teams to accomplish various goals before assembling again in the second movie that brings the adventure to a close.

[Miotch]

Why not just call that Avengers 3 and 4 then?

[Lock Jaw]

Why not call "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Avengers 2?

[Fignuts]

This is Two Thousand and Fourteen.

Numbers are so played out.

[alvarado52]

All these damn rumors popping up lately are giving me a boner.

First Sony trying to strike a deal to get Spidey in an Avengers flick, then news that RDJ is set to co-star with Chris Evans in the next Cap film, leading many to believe it'll be leading to a Civil War flick.

[Kalyx triaD]

Justice League looks dead in the water. They have to come out strong.

[Shadow]

Too bad they can't. Ever.

[Miotch]

Why not just call that Avengers 3 and 4 then?

Why not call "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Avengers 2?
I meant have separate titles, instead of having Avengers: Whatever Part 1 and 2.

[alvarado52]

Reports are saying that Cap 3 will be titled Fallen Son, which actually falls in line with the leaked movie lineup a few months back that people sorta just took with a grain of salt.

http://imageserver.moviepilot.com/photo-thor-3-ragnarok-and-the-avengers-civil-war-the-future-of-marvel-leaked.jpeg?width=570&height=2156

[Kalyx triaD]

That list is fake.

Fallen Son was a mini-series after Civil War, it's not crazy unlikely that they would use it as a sub-title. Given the story rumors, Civil War may ultimately be the sub-title. No way in Hell is WW Hulk happening.

[JimmyMess]

why no way? Is it just too crazy of a storyline or involve too many characters that they can't use?

[Rammsteinmad]

"No way in hell" seems a bit dramatic. There's no reason why somewhere down the line they'd do a live-action movie of World War Hulk. I know by the time they get to it the story arc itself will be a good decade old, but whatever, I'd still enjoy seeing it.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wouldn't say it's crazy a storyline. Of course it would be nerfed in terms of scale, but a movie where an Avenger is waging war against Earth's heroes is not going to be released to the mainstream. Perhaps comic movies will get to that point by Phase 4, but they only just now made Hulk a money maker. The next step will not be him declaring war on the MCU.

[Fignuts]

Would much rather see WWH than Civil War.

[VSG]

Same.

[Destor]

considering that marvel has already approached people about Inhumans that list is seeming more and more plausible by the month.

[Kalyx triaD]

Before Disney cracks down!, Avengers2 trailer!

*nut*

[Fignuts]

Cum everywhere. Literally everywhere.

[alvarado52]

James Spader is spot on as Ultron.

Also, looks like the majority of this trailer takes place overseas.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah very international feel. I would love to hear how Rhodey is in this movie but we're not gonna see Iron Patriot.

[Fignuts]

lol Marvel's response to the trailer leaking early

http://i.imgur.com/JNDwOjt.png

[Fignuts]

Also, holy shit, using the Disney resources to perfection. The Pinnochio song a perfect fit.

[Jura]

Is it true it's going to be a 2 parter?

[Lock Jaw]

Good trailer. Watching on phone right now... Will have to give a more thorough watch when I get home. Hulkbuster scene promises to be sweet.

[Rammsteinmad]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Disturbed316]

Holy shit balls!

[Fignuts]

Is it true it's going to be a 2 parter?

No the third movie is going to be a 2 parter.

That said, with news that some of the actors will not be in part 1 of act 3, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the movieverse's disassembled.

[slik]

Am I the only one who thinks it looks "just ok"? I thought the first film was "just ok" and not one of Marvel's best.

[Rammsteinmad]

You're wrong.

[Fignuts]

Am I the only one who thinks it looks "just ok"? I thought the first film was "just ok" and not one of Marvel's best.

You are certainly in the minority.

[slik]

Feel like there was nothing "visually stunning" to look at. Compare to this, so many money shots in this trailer:

Anyways, I will still watch it and hope it's good. I'm not very familiar with Ultron so I'm curious to see what the hubbub is about him and if he really is a "big enough" threat that it will take the entire Avengers team to defeat a robot.

<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2CzoSeClcw0" allowfullscreen="" height="315" width="560" frameborder="0"></iframe>

[The Destroyer]

Maybe not as big on visuals, but it was a very nicely put together trailer. Loved the whole Ultron as Pinocchio thing too.

[Hanso Amore]

This is the first trailer. They always pull back on it. Also they are able to create buzz without giving away any major money shots.

[Hanso Amore]

Also, Hulkbuster, broken shield, Ultrons face are pretty big shots

[Hanso Amore]

Lastly, "all those money shots" in the iron man 3 trailer showed you all the good parts of iron man 3...which was a horrible movie.

[Shadow]

and my pants are darkened.

Also Iron Man 3 was a horrible movie? What lies and slander is this?

[alvarado52]

I wouldnt say it was horrible...but I also wouldnt praise it the way many did.

[ClockShot]

RED'S GONNA KILL YOU! RED'S GONNA KILL YOU!

I mean,

ULTRON'S GONNA KILL YOU! ULTRON'S GONNA KILL YOU!

[JimmyMess]

so much .... ejaculate.... everywhere...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Robert California is taking over.

[Rammsteinmad]

I didn't enjoy Iron Man 3 the first time I saw it, but I recently picked up the DVD for £2 and actually really enjoyed it a lot more the second time.

[DaveBrawl]

I thought Iron Man 3 was one of the worst movies I've seen in years. Easily the worst comic movie since Batman & Robin or the first Hulk in my opinion.

Going back to Slik's post I kind of agree. Avenger's was a good movie I thought, but I've liked several of the other Marvel movies more.

[Kalyx triaD]

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/v3jpuvfp3hjkzcpz63t8.jpg

[JimmyMess]

looks wicked. but makes me wonder, what does a robot need muscles for? too look more human i suppose?

[Kalyx triaD]

Rule of cool, don't look deep into things like that.

[JimmyMess]

you may have just made a fact right there.

[Fignuts]

Ultron's relationship with humanity is very strange and complex. He wants to destroy humanity, but a part of him wants to be human too. He actually takes on the form of Janet Van Dyne in one story. The Pinnochio reference goes deeper than most people think.

So I'm thinking there might be multiple forms of Ultron in this movie, each one evolving to look more and more human.

[JimmyMess]

wasn't one of the rumors that he is supposed to be for jarvis but bbecomes ultron, and then jarvis gets a new body being the vision?

[Fignuts]

The rumor was that Jarvis becomes Ultron, but that was debunked when they announced different voice actors for Jarvis and Ultron.
