Avengers: Age of Ultron is the 2015 movie that I have been excited about for so long - that excitement reached new heights yesterday when I saw the first full-length trailer for the film.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
It promises to be a really action packed and darker ride that will push our heroes to the very brink and test their friendship to breaking point.
The brand new trailer is an exciting one and we take a look at some of the key moments to figure out just how they will figure into the overall story.
- Tony Stark may be to blame
Is Tony Stark aka Iron Man going to painted in a bad light in the new film?
One of the best moments of the trailer sees the introduction of Ultron - brought to life by James Spader - as he emerges from a rather beaten up Iron Man suit.
Further along the trailer, it looks like Thor has a bone to pick with Stark.
It has also been hinted that we are going to see Stark and Captain America go head to head in Captain America 3 over the Superhero Registration Act. It could be that Age of Ultron is setting the foundations for this future film in the series.
- New Iron Man suit & Iron Man vs Hulk
Sticking with Iron Man, we are going to see the biggest and meanest Iron Man suit so far.
And it looks like Stark will need all of the help he can get as he is set to face off against a very angry looking Hulk.
The trailer features quite a few moments of these two characters - whom we thought we best buddies - slugging it out.
- Meet Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver
Two of the big new characters in the film are Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver, the mutant brother and sister who we met for the first time at the end of the Winter Soldier.
It looks like we may see them doing battle on both sides of the war, while displaying some impressive powers that will make them a force to be reckoned with.
Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson will take on these roles, and I am looking forward to their introduction the most.
- Hulk is have a rough time
Bruce Banner was re-introduced in Avengers Assemble as Mark Ruffalo took over the role for the first time. It looks like this time around he is going to play a much bigger role.
Having said that, he does seem to be facing some issues in the trailer - just how much of a struggle is it keeping his demons under control?
- Nick Fury is back
Last time we saw Nick Fury he was walking away from his own grave and going into hiding after bring down the corrupt S.H.I.E.L.D. with Captain America and Black Widow.
We only get a brief look at Fury in this trailer but it looks like he is back. It is not yet known just how big a role that Samuel. L Jackson is going to play this time around.
He had a much bigger role in The Winter Soldier; I would love to see this character developed even further. However, I do think we will see him take more of a backseat this time around.
- Did you spot Andy Serkis?
Andy Serkis made a rather surprise in the trailer but it is still not clear what role he will play in the film.
It is unusual to actually see Serkis' face on the big screen as he spends most of his time bringing to live motion capture roles.
Serkis admitted that he had been working with Ruffalo in developing the hulk even further as a motion capture character. He has been linked to the role of Ulysses Klaw, but it looks like we are going to have to wait and see.
- Tender moment between Hulk & Black Widow
There were rumours floating around earlier this year that we were going to see some sort of relationship between Bruce and Black Widow. I have to say, this is a plot development that I was not looking forward to.
And while I have had my fingers tightly crossed that it is a load of rubbish, it looks like there may be a bit of something going on.
In a brief second in the trailer, we do see a 'moment' between Hulk and Black Widow. Still not convinced that this relationship is a good thing... what about Betty Ross?
- Are we going to lose a member of Avengers?
The trailer ends in a rather depressing manner, suggesting that we could be about to lose a member of the team.
You can just make up Thor's hand next to Captain America's broken shield. It looks like the team are going to have to fight like they have never fought before and there could be some major casualties along the way.
We already know that a third Thor and Captain America films are in the pipeline could this lead into events in those movies?
We have a six month wait before Avengers: Age of Ultron hits the big screen, but it is set to be the biggest movie of 2015. I think it might just be the biggest and best Marvel movie yet!!!
Avengers: Age of Ultron is released 24th April 2015.
