And Now… the Honest Trailer for ‘Avengers: Age of Utron’

Once again, those clever folks over at Screen Junkies have come up with a funny piece — however, similar to Mad Max: Fury Road, the writers were forced to reach for truly bad stuff.

 

Yeah, the jist of it is that the movie couldn’t possibly live up to the insane fan expectations — and it didn’t. That’s the criticism in a nutshell.

But I did like how the voice-over pointed out that in addition to being entertaining on its own, this movie had to set up  Captain America: Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and who knows how many other follow-ups…

The Last ‘Avengers’ Trailer Before the Big Opening

With only a few weeks left before Avengers: Age of Ultron premieres, Marvel has released the last planned trailer. It’s mostly recycled footage except for a brief bit of Captain America getting strangled by Ultron.

Still, that was totally worth watching, right?

A:AoU opens May 1.

New Avengers Footage Shown… in Car Commercial!

We all know that product placement is here to stay, as are “the official whatever of whoever” sponsorships. We live with it. But here is a benefit of the advertising partnership: sometimes we get to see cool new footage in the commercials, as is the case with Audi and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

A:AoU opens May 1. I presume Audis are available now at your local dealerships.

New ‘Age of Ultron’ TV Spot Is Action-Packed

As the magic day — the first of May — approaches, the promotion onslaught for Avengers: Age of Ultron will begin in earnest. But for a film that looks like this much fun, I don’t think anyone is going to mind! Just watch the third TV commercial:

Did you catch the first clear, full-face shot of the Vision right there at the end, or did you blink? He’s the red-faced guy.

As a public service, here are the first and second TV spots, and the amazing full-length movie trailer.

Just Added: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver Posters

Marvel Studios has already released solo posters highlighting the core members of the Avengers, and now Marvel UK’s Twitter unleashed the official posters spotlighting the newcomers to Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).

We see the Witch displaying a bit of her hex power and Quicksilver frozen in mid-stride.

Will the mysterious siblings be friends or foes to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?

Fans of the comics know how this story played out in four colors, but will director Joss Whedon throw us a curveball? The origin of the twins has already been changed, and they are being introduced to the Avengers in an entirely new way, so who know what will happen?

Avengers: Age of Ultron premieres on May 1.

Watch the ‘Age of Ultron’ Trailer of Awesomeness

Ultron is the focus of the newest trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron — with a brief recap of his origin and James Spader using his creepiest voice to  lay out the evil AI’s plan to destroy Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Lots to love about this trailer, which its action-packed scenes and intriguing teases — do Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) hook up? Do any of the big guns die? Who wins, Hulk or Iron Man in Hulkbuster armor? (Just so you know, Uncle Joe firmly believes that Hulk should win, but how it plays out on film is anyone’s guess.)

Avengers’ Solo Posters Released

After the release of the newest group poster promoting Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel Studios has been releasing a collection of solo images highlighting Earth’s Mightiest Heroes individually — and they are pretty impressive.

ETA: Hawkeye’s solo poster

A:AoU will be released May 1.

Second ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ TV Spot

Here is the new TV commercial for Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Have you realized how close we are to the May 1 release date? Tomorrow is March 1!

The ‘Secret’ Avenger in the New ‘Ultron’ Poster

You know that awesome (crowded) new poster that Marvel released to tease Avengers: Age of Ultron?

The one that featured all our returning faves, including Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson, who’s been in self-imposed exile; and newcomers Vision (Paul Bettany) — backlit by the sun; and the twins Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) in the upper right? That one?

Well, it turns out there’s yet another character on this poster. There is, in fact, an extra character hidden in plain sight: The text block on the one-sheet lists Anthony Mackie — which means the Falcon will at least make a cameo!

 

Marvel Drops First ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ TV Spot

You don’t have to wait for the Super Bowl to see this cool commercial — the first official TV spot for Avengers: Age of Ultron!

This clip is heavy on Hulk and Black Widow action.

Directed by Joss Whedon, A:AoU opens May 1.
