    Those set photos also included the first look at Ultron; or to be more specific, the head & shoulders stand-in, with the rest presumably being a CGI construct at a later point (though it'd be kinda hilarious if it wasn't):

    Are we it's Ultron? It doesn't look like the version in the teaser. Could it be Vision?

    I presume he'll be doing work for either Ultron or
    Vision

    Have either of those actors been confirmed as donning the mo-cap suit?

    First look at Ultron.

    They really did a number on Chris Evans' face, it barely looks anything like him. :rolleyes:

    That's one sinister looking robot.

    So it has been announced that Sam Wilson, aka The Falcon (as played by Anthony Mackie in Cap America 2) is to be the new Captain America in the comics. I guess this will follow suit in the films, given how like most of the cast, Chris Evans only ever signed up for a limited number of films.

    He is signed up for 6 films with his current contract. Cameo's in the other films don't count.

    So 2 Captain movies so far and 2 Avengers so far.

    That would leave 1 one Cap and 1 more Avenger movie.

    So another 5/6 years as Captian America for him.

    So I am guess guessing a new Captian America , Iron Man and Thor will all be needed then.

    Female Thor and Falcon Cap in the comics screams of Marvel cynically hedging their bets in anticipation of the future. TBH I feel they'd be better off just letting characters definitively bow out in the MCU and focus on bringing new characters to fruition.

    I mean I can accept
    Bucky taking Rodgers' mantle
    as that is a storyline well established and anticipated, but I mean does anyone really want to see a 2nd, a 3rd incarnation of a character? It doesn't appeal at all to me.

    Well, he looks better than Days Of Future Past's Quicksilver

    Ya, that version looked crap but he turned out to be one of the best things in the film.

    I have my doubts that The Avengers version will be a patch on the X-Men version in the end.

    Hmmmm the vision in the back too I think, first thought was magneto then realised dam it's not fox or who ever owns his rights :sigh:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Soft Falling Rain


    In regards to Vision, you have to give Marvel props; they stay more or less faithful to the material.

    And in unrelated but related; **** me if they snag Phoenix for Dr Strange. :eek:

    Don't know. Might make a cameo but he won't be one of the main Avengers.

    He will be the same as War Machine/Iron Patriot he won't be involved in The Avengers movies would be my guess.

    Iron Patriot's confirmed to have some role in this, probably a cameo.

    Yep! Anthony Mackie was confirmed to appear in this movie a few weeks ago. As much as I hate to admit it, I doubt he'll have a huge role but he's definitely going to be in it.

    Rhodey was seen in the teaser released at Comic-Con this weekend, so he's at least going to appear in the domestic scenes at Stark/Avengers tower.

    Are there any stills from the footage they showed at CC?

    There were stills released a little while before the con, but apart from that there's just a bunch of descriptions of what happens going around and the audio from the trailer is available on YouTube at the moment. As of yet, there's been no video or even stills uploaded as far as I'm aware. The only thing that Marvel seems to have released publicly is the poster.

    Looks legit, and jarringly faithful. I'm not sure if that look will play out well on screen.

    after guardians of the galaxy ive no probem with thinking them capable of pulling that off.

    i came out of that thinking they could actually pull off a rogue trooper film now. if it was DC/WB i'd be crapping meself though !

    First trailer to air during Agents of Shield next week.
    If the fact that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been a much better show since the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier wasn’t enough incentive for lapsed viewers to give the show another try, Marvel has just provided another big incentive to tune in next week.

    After tonight’s “A Hen in the Wolf House” episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel announced that a trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron will air during next week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The “A Fractured House” episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

    Marvel have responded to the trailer leaking early by releasing it themselves, enjoy!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,014 ✭✭✭✭Corholio


    The best thing about this film could be James Spader's voice. Great choice for Ultron.

    The trailer is fine, nothing special. The one thing I disliked about Avengers, and it seems to be showing it again in this trailer, is the way they force feed the images of them together as a group. They have to show countless shots of them all together, much more than is needed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,836 ✭✭✭Sir Gallagher


    Can i ask, why do people get excited about these type of films? Just noticed a lot of hype about that trailer with comments of "OMFG"..."Mind Blown" etc etc. Certainly nothing mindblowing from the trailer so what is it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,893 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    Im glad I was sitting down when I watched that, fcuk me!!!!

    Nothing in particular to get excited about other than looking like Spader is going to steal the show. I'd like to think they're going to go all the way over the next few films and make Stark the enemy buy I doubt it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,701 ✭✭✭Bacchus


    That was awesome. Spader sounds great, Ultron looks like a great villain. Cool creepy music over the trailer too :)

    Cinematography seems improved.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Yeah, I mean if we're talking about the ability of a (Marvel) trailer to get the blood pumping and eyebrows raised, I found Guardians of the Galaxy a much more individual and exciting effort; certainly more memorable anyway. That trailer above was just a series of headshots and portentous dialogue, completely randomly edited and nothing special.

    I do hope Ultron is genuinely written as a proper foe this time, too many of the Marvel movies give lip service to their adversaries. And if I see one more magical McGuffin, I may just scream :D

    Yeah his voice sounds a bit like a cross between The joker and Bryan Cranston





  • Registered Users Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭splashthecash


    Agreed - Spader's stole the show in that trailer for me....I particularly liked the final shot of Ultron "but there are no strings on me"


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    I think most people are excited because it's another Marvel movie.

    Marvel has had a fantastic track record with their comic book adaptations as of late, so people obviously want more.

    I for one can't wait, Spader is gonna make Ultron his own.

    Looks good!! Was that Thor lying down with Captain America's broken shield??

    You reckon they're alluding to some sort of Brokeback Mountain storyline there?
