Managing to arrive this time without any interference from Hydra or other scheming types, the new trailer for Avengers: Age Of Ultroncontinues the gloomy, apocalyptic and slowed-down Pinocchioh-no theme of the first big promo for the film. Take a gander below as Tony Stark and pals face off against machinery more challenging than figuring out how late and crowded the 07:53 from Catford will be.
As you may know by now, the events of the new film are set into motion when 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?
Joss Whedon is back marshalling this one, and the film also features the likes of Don Cheadle, Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany (who once more is conspicuous by his absence here) and Thomas Kretschmann. Avengers: Age Of Ultron will be out in the UK on April 24.
