Avengers: Age of Ultron
 

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.


This is the finale of Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 2 which includes Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: The Dark World, Iron Man 3, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (TV).

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Shield tv show would make the most sense.

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

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

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.

Jebus Age of Ultron eh? Not sure if digging.

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

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.

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

Huzzah for wild speculation

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.

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.

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.

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

Hopefully not literally a shadowy hand

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.

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.

Maybe Jarvis turns heel on Tony?

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.

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

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

Jarvis is the third guy!

*leg drop on war machine*

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

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.

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.

Does "done correctly" include spousal abuse?

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

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

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

We're mostly up to date here.

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

that's kind of what we do all along

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

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.

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.

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

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

I don't know about Quicksilver, but supposedly the Olsen twin's younger sister Elizabeth is playing the Scarlet Witch.

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

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.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JNjVMFTWYN0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

So not clicking that.

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

http://screenrant.com/avengers-2-ult...s-spader-cast/

James Spader is Ultron

So, Ultron's gonna have a human face?

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

I have my doubts of the legitimacy of that article.

Disappointing

Also on deadline as well:

http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/jame...quel-as-ultron

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

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".

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

At least not with this perfect cast.

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

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

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!!!

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.

Thomas Kretschmann has been cast as Baron Von Strucker

marvel zombies with ash. :)

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!

Maybe Jarvis IS Vision!?

Finkle is Einhorn

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.

Quicksilver & Wanda!:

Wanda looks perfect.

Those look fantastic.

All of them.

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

Can't fucking wait.

Glad Wanda isn't a 5 year old.

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.

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.

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

And putty patrollers.

Yeah, what?

The bad guy having minions is comic books 101.

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?

Ultron gets control of a Hulkbuster Armor?

Man I miss Igor.

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/fansit.../news/?a=96674

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

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.

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.

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.
