The release of Avengers: Age Of Ultron is now so close – yes, people in the Netherlands, we know you get it the day before – that it almost feels wrong to be watching anything else from the movie. But if you just can’t help yourself, here’s another TV spot, which fortunately only has a brief moment or two that’s new.
As you may know by now, the events of the new film are set into motion when Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), attempting to take some of the world-saving weight from his heroic comrades, creates an army of technological peacekeeping drones controlled by the clever A.I. Ultron (voiced and performance captured with relish by James Spader). There’s just one teensy little problem with Tony’s big idea: Ultron decides that mankind is the biggest threat to peace on Earth and so begins an attempt to wipe us all out. Starting, since they pose the heftiest challenge to his plans, with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
So Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) along with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) must once more do battle. But how do you fight an enemy that can download itself into anything? And when serious cracks appear in their otherwise solid teamwork, what’s to stop the likes of Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) causing even more trouble?
And if you’re planning to watch the movie in IMAX, you might want to see if you can score one of these rather nifty posters for the movie.
Joss Whedon is back marshalling this one, and the film also features the likes of Don Cheadle, Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany and Thomas Kretschmann. Avengers: Age Of Ultron will be out in the UK on April 23.
