Although we may already know more than this official synopsis hints at, it’s nice to get a few words from the people behind the film. AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON is the sequel to the massive, huge, gigantic, incredible, Marvel mash-up that was THE AVENGERS (or the lamely titled AVENGERS ASSEMBLE in the UK). The synopsis makes mention that it will be an act of Tony Stark that kicks off events which will see James Spader’s Ultron try and do what is best for humanity, probably by destroying us all.
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.
Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Those following the production closely will definitely know a few more details due to all the leaks of set-photos, but for casual fans this synopsis is wonderfully spoiler free.
AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON is released on 24th April 2015 in the UK and on 1st May 2015 in the US. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Cobie Smulders, James Spader, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, and Thomas Kretschmann.
