It feels that sooner than later we are going to hit Peak Superhero Movies. Just looking at the next 5 years alone can make you think that. It doesn't mean, however, that we won't have a good time getting tired of comic book movies. All of this goes to say that the new AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON trailer looks rad as hell. There's a lot more implied plot points here and even themes that might carry out all through CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. The trailer comes courtesy of the ridiculous Twitter marketing stunt and Marvel Entertainment YouTube page and you can check it out below.
Marvel has been doing a fantastic job at just giving us little teases of their next Avengers film. The first trailer gave us a glimpse to the James Spader's Ultron persona, which I have a feeling will steal the film. And now a trailer was released tonight which shows much more action!
Here's the synopsis:
With S.H.I.E.L.D. destroyed and the Avengers needing a hiatus from stopping threats, Tony Stark attempts to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program with Ultron, a self-aware, self-teaching, artificial intelligence. However, his plan backfires when Ultron decides that humans are the main enemy and sets out to eradicate them from Earth, and it is up to Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, along with support from Nick Fury and Maria Hill, to stop him from enacting his plans. Along the way, the Avengers encounter the powerful twins, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, as well as the familiar Vision.
It's here. Finally. No more waiting and guessing what we will see. Through not the best of circumstances, the first teaser for AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON has been leaked onto the web. It's full of everything you could want in a teaser, and will make the waiting over the next six months very, very painful.
While the original THOR gave us Loki, it definitely had a scope issue. Much like the first IRON MAN, once you step back from it, you realize there's not much that actually happens in the movie. I have been eagerly anticipating the second THOR if only because I want to see the world expanded and it looks like this is what will happen in the sequel. Thanks to YouTube's Geek Week, via Screen Crush, we have the newest trailer which was premiered at Comic-Con last month. Check it out after the break.
With IRON MAN 3 we are in the beginning stages of Marvel's Phase Two of their movie universe. IRON MAN 3 isn't really a movie I'm looking forward to, Shane Black's involvement is barely keeping me interested. However, THOR was probably my favorite of the Phase One movies for many reasons, one of them being Tom Hiddleston as Loki as the most sympathetic villain in the Marvel universe, and of course, Kat Dennings. This new trailer gives us a bit of an idea of the direction of the movie and the scope of it as well. Check out the trailer below.
Jonesy here. I'm not a comic aficionado by any sort of stretch of any kind of imagination. In fact, I pretty much fall into the stereotypical type who enjoys comics through the movie format. Shame on me, but in all honesty, that's resources and time I don't have. And if I have any questions, I just go to my buddies who know those worlds.
Now THE AVENGERS movie has intrigued me from the beginning. Not necessarily for the characters, but for the strange experiment the studio is doing. I think it's an absolutely fascinating experiment to release movies about the individual characters first that all lead up and bring them together into the culminating film. So far, the experiment has worked. And now this summer, we get the culmination of THE AVENGERS.
We saw a teaser last fall, at the end of CAPTAIN AMERICA, and during the Super Bowl. This new one expands more on the Super Bowl trailer showing more character interaction (which looks hilarious), angry Loki (yay Tom Hiddleston!), and some sort of Transformers figure (who I guess needs work in-between Transformers films).
Check it out!
That Michael Bay-esque rotating shot towards the end is still one of my favorites.
THE AVENGERS will be released May 4, 2012 starring Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johannson, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston and Jeremy Renner.
Just in time for the holiday season reminding us it is never too early to start thinking about next summer, we have our first look at the new Avengers.
The teaser looks pretty badass with some fun character interactions, but there's almost nothing about the plot of the movie. Someone or something is shooting from space and hating on our big cities as always. And the earth may perish, but I'll be damned if they won't avenge us! Also, I guess cool gals don't look at explosions.
I'm really stoked to see the culmination of years worth of build up. This experiment of having multiple movies set up each of the perspective characters hasn't really been done before, and I'm excited to see them all come together.
So will this movie experiment pay off? and I guess the bigger question is....will it beat THE DARK KNIGHT RISES next summer in at the box office?
Thoughts? Are you as excited as we are??
THE AVENGERS will be released May 4, 2012 starring Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johannson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeremy Renner.
