Entertainment Weekly reveal exclusive first look at ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’
It’s been a good 48 hours since Entertainment Weekly unleashed the first official on set photos from ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ onto an unsuspecting internet. Plenty of time for the fans to both drool and over-analyse the photos, which is pretty much all we’ve been doing! While a full reveal is promised for next week’s San Diego Comic Con, Mr Whedon has shared a few tidbits about the eponymous AI along with a few other first looks at returning faces and new heroes.
First up, Ultron. He looks awesome. We could leave it there, but there’s a few important things that have come out from the EW article. Firstly, a near confirmation that the Android AI will be a creation of Tony Stark NOT Henry Pym. An evolution of Jarvis born out of the Avenger’s need for help in a SHIELD-less world. And while he DOES help, it’s only a matter of time until he goes all Skynet and has to “protect” the world from themselves! Sure it’s a Hollywood convention, but we can trust Joss and Marvel to put a twist on this standard. The other little piece of information we can gleam from the article is that Tony’s Iron Army from IM3 will also play a part in the Avengers sequel, with Tony using them as the starting point for Ultron, and Ultron in turn using them as his own AI army (check them out in the background of the cover photo).
So if all that wasn’t enough, we also get a good look at the mutant(?) siblings Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in action. While we saw them post credits during ‘The Winter Soldier’, the pics show them in the thick the action (in what looks like Russia from the posters in the background). Not only that, but we’re treated to a few shots of the returning Avengers, most interesting of which is Hawkeye in a more Comic Book faithful costume than featured in Avengers Assemble.
So until Comic Con weekend, that’ll have to be it. It’s likely we’ll see a repeat of that iconic panel 3 years ago, with the full Avengers line up appearing, and hopefully the Marvel men will spill a few more beans to keep us going until 2015!
