Now Comic Con has passed and the buzz surrounding Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (read our review here) has temporarily subsided, it’s only natural that we bring you some news of next years biggest movie, AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.
Over in San Diego we’ve seen the release of a number of concept posters showing off some of the film’s major talents, as well as a still showing off Black Widow’s transportation of choice, a brand new electric motorcycle. The motorcycle, known as Project Livewire from Harley Davidson, is not intended for sale to the public, but just as an introduction to the future world of electric transportation. Obviously The Avengers are able to pull a few strings. You can check out Harley Davidson’s official announcement after a set of awesomely illustrated posters that will probably be far more impressive than any Photoshopped job in the future.
[UPDATED] now with the full image of everyone and a gallery to take a closer look at each:
Today at the San Diego Comic-Con, Harley-Davidson® and Marvel Studios will introduce Project LiveWire™ – Harley-Davidson’s first electric motorcycle – to fans gathered at the annual international convention. Project LiveWire, which is featured in Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, will be the ride of choice for Natasha Romanoff (a.k.a. Black Widow) played by Scarlett Johansson, in an epic scene with Captain America in the film.
The addition of Project LiveWire to Avengers: Age of Ultron confirms months of speculation that Harley-Davidson and Marvel are, indeed, teaming up again. Harley-Davidson motorcycles – including the Harley-Davidson Street 750™ featured in Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier earlier this year – have appeared in a number of Marvel movies and television shows over the last several years.
“Our partnership with Marvel continues to provide thrilling platforms to showcase our latest innovations to existing and new fans of the brand,” said Dino Bernacchi, Director of U.S. Marketing at Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “Not one, but two bikes will be featured in Avengers: Age of Ultron – Project LiveWire and the all-new Street 750, which is now available at Harley-Davidson dealerships.”
While not for sale, Project LiveWire is specifically designed to get insight into rider expectations of an electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle. In keeping with the company’s customer-led product development approach, Harley-Davidson is taking Project LiveWire to consumers across the country. Fans in San Diego will be able to ride the bike at the San Diego Harley-Davison dealership July 25-26 and provide feedback to help shape the future of Harley-Davidson’s first-ever electric motorcycle.
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.
