Marvel Weekly News #27

It's been a busy week on the Marvel front. Promotional materials for Agents of SHIELD, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Daredevil were released this week, with more to come for Avengers: Age of Ultron in the coming week. Rumors about what version of Spider-Man we will see in the MCU, an actor expressed interest in playing him, and the season finale of Agent Carter premiered. Read more about the biggest Marvel stories of the week below!

Agents of SHIELD Promo Teases Inhumans
After an eight week winter break, Agents of SHIELD is only a few days away from its return and a new promotional video was released this week. The video above teases Skye/Daisy's (Chloe Bennet) new powers.
New Look at Daredevil Suit
Marvel fans will be able to instantly stream Marvel's first Netflix series, Daredevil, in just over a month and we are starting to get better images of Charlie Cox as Daredevil. This week, Australian magazine FilmInk gave us our best look at the first suit Daredevil will wear.

Which Spider-Man Will Star in Reboot?
Ever since Sony and Marvel announced that Spider-Man would be joining the MCU, fans have been wondering which version of the web slinger we will see. Marvel and Sony made it seem that Peter Parker would once again be the version we see. Then this week, a new report said that it may actually be Miles Morales. Read more about just what version of Spider-Man we will see here.
Age of Ultron Poster #2
Marvel released the second the official poster for their upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron this week. Reactions to the above poster were mixed as the poster is a bit cluttered. The poster did confirm that Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), and Heimdall (Idris Elba) would appear in the movie. Marvel did go on to start releasing individual character posters for the movie, but more on those soon.

Season Finale of Agent Carter
After seven weeks of 1940's action with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Agent Carter came to an end. The series as a whole was enjoyable but did not have lasting impressions on the MCU, at least not yet. Read our full review of the finale here.

Hutcherson Interested in Spider-Man
Back when Sony was looking for someone to star in The Amazing Spider-Man, Josh Hutcherson was someone who was in talks for the role, and even did an impressive test video for the role. Now that there is a need for a new Spider-Man, Hutcherson told Yahoo, "Yeah, of course I’d think about doing it. It’s Spider-Man, that’d be really cool."
Individual Age of Ultron Character Posters Released
Marvel has started releasing individual character posters for Avengers: Age of Ultron via actors Twitter accounts this week. It started with Robert Downey Jr releasing the above Iron Man poster. Mark Ruffalo followed suit by releasing a Hulk poster the following day, with Samuel L. Jackson giving us Thor, Black Widow, and Nick Fury posters. More posters are sure to be on the way featuring Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Ultron, and Vision.

New Promo Art for Ant-Man
Marvel's smallest superhero, Ant-Man, will make his big screen debut this July and more promo art has surfaced online. ComicBookMovie shared all of the promotional materials that give new looks at the Ant-Man suit and the main villain of the film, Yellowjacket.
Agents of SHIELD EP 11 Poster
The first 10 episodes of season 2 of Agents of SHIELD have been very good and Marvel is aiming to keep up that quality in the final 12 episodes of the season. The back half of the season should be very inhuman and Marvel teased that with the new poster above. The poster shows Skye/Daisy with her new earth shaking abilities and teases what exactly Raina (Ruth Negga) has become.
Daredevil Motion Poster
A new motion poster has been released for Daredevil that gives us an up close look at a bloody knuckled and smirking Matthew Murdock (Charlie Cox). Daredevil hits Netflix April 10th.

Hemsworth Talks Age of Ultron
Multiple news outlets were given the chance to have set visits on Avengers: Age of Ultron. The embargoes that the sites had have been partially lifted and Collider shared the transcript of a group interview they participated in. The interview was with Thor actor Chris Hemsworth where they talked about many things including Loki's reign on Asgard, Thor's role in the film, and the fighting style that Thor will exhibit.
