'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Final Trailer

Marvel has released the final trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron, giving us a third peek at this darker and chaotic sequel. Out of everything I have seen from this movie, this third trailer is by far what I have liked the most. Like a good trailer should do, It continues to show you everything you need to know before watching the movie and even adds new material, but without revealing too much. Until now we had only seen little of Ultron, but with this trailer he is looking more like the menacing villain we are all expecting him to be, "I was designed to save the world, people would look to the sky and see...hope. I'll take that from them first." I think that line speaks for itself. The trailer continues to make me feel like this movie will be much more dark and serious, but still gave us glimpses of the humor that Marvel movies have had so far. This trailer is great, I have gotten all that I need from it in anticipation for the film, and May 1st can't be here quick enough.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and James Spader, opening in theaters on May 1st. Check out the trailer below (via YouTube).

New 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Images

Marvel studios has released new images for Joss Whedon's upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, building up more anticipation for this sequel. This is one of the most anticipated films of this year for plenty of people and Marvel I believe has been doing a great job to give us material to keep that momentum going. The images really aren't much more that we haven't already seen from the trailers, but I'm sure those people waiting for the film (Including myself) are happy getting material like this. The film isn't that far away if you think about it, I just hope they don't overdo it with the advertising.

New 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Trailer

Marvel has released a new trailer for the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, featuring more of The Hulk smashing. I really liked the new trailer, very similar to the first trailer in the dark and serious tone but gave us some new shots here and there. They are really doing a good job in teasing the fight between Iron Man and Hulk, or by the looks of it, Hulk and everyone else. I like that you can really feel the conflict in the film from this trailer, the team is going to be tested, not just by Ultron but by each other, and I can't wait to see how they rise up to take down this apparently unbeatable threat.

Terry Rossio Boards 'Yucatan' to Pen Script for Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. appears to have found his next project outside of the Marvel Universe, with the actor's production company Team Downy along with Warner Bros. bringing in Oscar-nominated writer Terri Rossio to pen a script for the film Yucatan, based on the Steve McQueen treatment written in the late 1960s.

Deadline reported on the addition of Terry Rossi to the project, who previously wrote films like the Pirates Of The Caribbean series, Mask Of Zorro, and Deja Vu. McQueen's 1700-page template for the film was found after his death and was meant to be a star vehicle for himself, which will now be used used for the same purpose by Robert Downey Jr.  Yucatan will be based on McQueen's treatment that follows a renegade salvage expert in his search for Mayan treasure in the Yucatan Peninsula, the updated plot details are not known but it is said the film will be "using the original premise as a jumping-off point for a mind-bending adventure story."

I would have to wait to know more about the plot of the film to comment more on it, but I do buy Robert Downey Jr. in the role, I think his charisma would be a good fit for a treasure hunter. I do want to see him more outside of the Marvel Universe because I do think he is a great actor, maybe a project like this can achieve that. But this article is really about Rossio joining, and on that topic, adding someone to a project who has the tag "Oscar-nominated" is generally really good for any film.

'Captain America: Civil War' Adds Daniel Brühl as Villain

On the announced slate of films for Marvel's Phase 3, one of the most anticipated films is Captain America: Civil War. The film will see Iron Man and Captain America facing off, but it looks like there will be a villain involved. According to reports, actor Daniel Brühl has joined the upcoming Marvel film in the role of a villain.

Marvel officially announced the addition of Brühl to the cast, but gave no details about his role. Kevin Feige said the following about the casting:

"With Daniel's ability to deliver intense, nuanced performances, we knew we had found yet another great actor to share the screen with some of our biggest heroes."

Deadline also reported on the casting of Brühl, pointing out that his role will be that of a villain. In a separate report, Variety says that Daniel Brühl will not be the main villain in Captain America: Civil War, but could potentially be the main villain in Doctor Strange.

There isn't much to say on the casting if the role is unknown, but just knowing the role will be of a villain is something to go on. I like the casting, I have only seen Brühl in Inglorious Basterds and I liked his performance there, and from what I hear his role in Rush was great, so adding him sounds good to me. I am curious to know what character he will be playing, specially if it does end up being a villain in Doctor Strange as well. I wonder what kind of role the character will have in the Civil War story, but we will have to wait for that. Captain America: Civil War will be directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, also starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chadwick Boseman, the film hits theaters on May 6th, 2016.

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Extended Trailer

Marvel has released a new extended trailer for the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, and it continues to get me excited for this film even more. It is just an extended trailer so there is not a lot that we didn't see before in the first trailer, just some new shots here and there. I did like the introduction of Ultron in this extended trailer, his lines changing a bit and the Iron Man suits flying through the walls were what stood out to me.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and James Spader, opening in theaters on May 1st, 2015. Check out the extended trailer below (via YouTube).

Idris Elba Reveals He and Tom Hiddleston will Appear in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

We thought we knew all the familiar characters that will be appearing in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but apparently there a couple that will be there and we didn't know about it. For those wondering about Tom Hddleston's Loki and Idris Elba's Heimdall appearing in Age of Ultron, it appears we will get to see those characters in the upcoming Marvel film, according to Idris Elba.

While on an interview with the Telegraph (via Variety), Elba revealed that he recorded a scene with Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston for the film:

"I'm in 'Avengers', and I’m doing a scene with Chris Hemsworth [who plays Thor] and Tom Hiddleston [Loki]..."

While most likely Loki and Heimdall won't have a big part in Avengers: Age of Ultron, it's still great to know that we might see two characters that we like in the film, even if it's for a small scene. There hasn't been any reference to the characters for the film and they didn't show up in the trailer, so for all we know the scene was shot but didn't make the final cut. But if it ends up happening, it will be great to see Loki and Heimdall in Age of Ultron. The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and James Spader, and opens in theaters on May 1st, 2015.

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Clip

Marvel intended to release the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron during this week's episode of Agents of SHIELD, but after being forced to release it earlier because of the trailer leaking online, Marvel has decided to still give us something during that time slot. The studio released a clip from the upcoming film, which is said to be very similar to what fans got to see at Comic-Con. The clip features the superhero team enjoying a well deserved party at the Stark tower before being interrupted by the title villain.

The clip was very fun to watch, the party scene with the Avengers trying to lift Thor's hammer has that humor that Marvel movies usually have, but you can taste the seriousness and darkness from when Ultron appears. The rest is basically the trailer with some different clips here and there, but still really great sneak peek.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and James Spader, hitting theaters on May 1st, 2015. Check out the clip below (via YouTube).

First Official Teaser Trailer and Poster from 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron'

Marvel had announced that they would premiere the first trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron next week during and episode of Agents of SHIELD, but last night the trailer was leaked online and Marvel made the best out of a bad situation by releasing the trailer ahead of time along with a poster, and with their usual Marvel charm tweeting out "Dammit, Hydra". Other than being happy for getting to watch the trailer for Avenger: Age of Ultron early, I really liked how Marvel handled this, they were so smart on dealing with this situation and took back something that seemed out of their hands, reactions like these show you why they are succeeding as much as they are.

Dammit, Hydra.

The trailer itself looks amazing, it has a dark tone and a sense of despair that I don't think we have ever seen from any Marvel film before. I wasn't big on the Pinocchio song but It does work for the theme of the trailer, so I can deal with it. Ultron stood out for me in the trailer, he looks menacing, and not just from what we see at the end but even the voice from the beginning of the trailer tells you that he means business. The Hulkbuster armor looks incredible, I'm very curious to what makes Iron Man and the Hulk fight but whatever it is it looks like its gonna be an epic battle. Like I said this trailer looks really dark and makes you feel that the Avengers are gonna have a really tough time dealing with Ultron, they look really desperate and beaten in the trailer so I can't wait to see how they get out of this one, did I mention I loved this trailer? You can check it out with the poster below.

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Trailer to Premier on October 28th During 'Agents of SHIELD'

For those of you who can't wait to see Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age of Ultron, you won't have to wait more than a week to finally see the first trailer. Marvel has announced that they will premiere the first Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer during the next Marvel's Agents of SHIELD episode on ABC that airs on October 28th.

I was among the people wondering when we were going to get some sort of teaser or clip from Avengers: Age of Ultron, so to know that we will get a trailer next week is very exciting. But to me this is clearly a move to get the ratings up on Agents of SHIELD, I feel that they should have given the premier of the first trailer a better use than just to promote their show, that from what I have heard not many people watch.

Tune in to #Marvel’s #AgentsofSHIELD, Tuesday, 10/28 at 9|8c on ABC to see the @Avengers #AgeofUltron trailer on TV! pic.twitter.com/ruKB5dgolo

Robert Downey Jr. in Final Talks to Join 'Captain America 3' with Civil War Storyline

Last week Robert Downey Jr. was messing with everyone's head talking about there being more Iron Man films or not, which ended with him saying that there were no more Iron Man films planned but he will still be doing "other fun stuff" with Marvel, and now those plans may have finally been revealed. Robert Downey Jr. is reportedly in final talks to appear in Captain America 3, and that the film will be an adaptation of the comic book storyline Civil War.

Variety gave the exclusive of Downey Jr. being in closing negotiations to join the film and the plans for using the Civil War storyline. According to the report, the deal with Robert Downey Jr. almost didn't go through, since the original planned Iron Man role in the film was small but the actor wanted a bigger part and bigger pay. The demands reportedly angered Marvel Entertainment Chief Ike Perlmutter, who asked the screenwriters to completely write Iron Man out of the script, but Kevin Feige remained in talks with Downey Jr.'s reps considering the impact the already planned Civil War storyline would have on future films for the next seven years. Considering all ends well, Robert Downey Jr. would get $40 million out of the deal and additional pay if Captain America 3 performs better than The Winter Soldier.

The Civil War storyline from the comics introduces the Superhero Registration Act, that stipulates that anyone with superpowers must reveal their secret identities to the U.S. government and at the same time act as a police force for the authorities. This whole idea sits well with Iron Man but not with Captain America, pinning them against each other and causing all other superheroes to choose a side, leading to a "Civil War". This storyline beginning in Captain America 3 will reportedly be the start of a new phase for Marvel films, offering material leading to Avengers 3 and 4.

Being that all of this ends up being true and Marvel confirms it, I am completely on board with this idea. The Civil War storyline is really interesting and after already seeing these heroes team up, the next fun thing would be to see would be to see them fight each other. The interesting thing would be how Marvel will handle the adaptation, since in the cinematic universe secret identities are not really an issue and the absence of characters like Spider-man, the X-Men and the Fantastic 4. Of course Robert Downey Jr. has to be Iron Man, he is Tony Stark, what I think ended up happening is he turned his demands down a notch because he realized that, at this point and time, the character is making him more than he is making the character.

We will have to wait until more details are revealed and confirmed, Captain America 3 will be directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, and begins production in spring in for a May 6th, 2016 release date.

Robert Downey Jr. Talks More 'Iron Man 4'

Robert Downey Jr. has been driving the internet and fans crazy over the last two days with his back-and-forth talks about Iron Man 4. Last month the actor said in an interview that there were no plans for a fourth film, but things really got silly yesterday when the actor said on Ellen that he was in negotiations for Iron Man 4, only to contradict himself later in the day by saying that there is no Iron Man 4 on The Late Show.

Robert Downey Jr. has been promoting his film The Judge, but it is only natural that he gets bombarded with questions about Marvel, The Avengers and Iron Man. While on the Ellen show yesterday, Downey Jr. was asked about there being an Iron Man 4, to which he responded:

"I know there's going to be more Marvel movies, and they have big ideas of how to do it best. We're in the middle of negotiations, blah blah blah."

Those comments led everyone to think that Downey Jr. confirmed an Iron Man 4, which the comments seem to point out, but apparently that is not the case. While on another interview on The Late Show later last night, Downey Jr. was asked again if there would be an Iron Man 4 and this time he went back to saying that there were no plans for it and there was no script:

"Just between us, no — but I'm going to do other stuff with Marvel. I'm still going to be involved with Marvel and there's going to be plenty of other fun stuff."

 If this whole thing can teach us anything is that we have to always wait for official confirmation about these things, we can't take what actors say as anything official, specially with Marvel that plays their cards so close to the chest and is pretty controlling with their properties. We can speculate all we want but we won't be sure until Marvel makes an announcement, that being said, be there or not an Iron Man 4, the question of Robert Downey Jr.'s future with Marvel is still very interesting. We will just have to wait and see what happens, for now we can expect to see him in two more Avengers films, and on that note, Avengers: Age of Ultron opens on May 1st, 2015.
