Marvel Weekly News #30

The hype machine that is Marvel is hitting on all cylinders recently. This week was full of news about Avengers: Age of Ultron, Daredevil, Agents of SHIELD, Captain America: Civil War, and possibly Guardians of the Galaxy 2. We have a lot of news to get to, so here it is-
Ultron Solo Poster
After spending time promoting the entire Avengers roster, Marvel has turned their attention to the main villain. Early in the week, they released the above solo poster for Ultron. The poster itself is taken directly from some of the footage we have seen from the trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Hell's Kitchen Moving Poster
Marvel also released the above motion poster for Daredevil, which is less than a month away from debuting on Netflix. The poster gives a glimpse of the Avengers Tower in the background and teases the red suit Murdock will eventually suit up in, among much more. Check out the poster above!

Agents of SHIELD is continuing a strong second season and has turned the focus squarely on all things not normal. This week's episode had the SHIELD team go head to head with Calvin Zabo and his newly assembled super villain team. Check out our full review here.

New Age of Ultron TV Spot
Avengers: Age of Ultron is just over a month away and Marvel used March Madness to help promote possibly the biggest movie of the year. The new TV Spot features a lot of new footage which you can see, along with some screenshots, here.

More Heroes Coming to Age of Ultron?
Joss Whedon is the man overseeing the MCU alongside Kevin Feige and also directed The Avengers and the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron. He spoke with Marvel this week and hinted that there may be some characters who have yet to be revealed appear in the summer blockbuster. What characters could that be? Carol Danvers has long been rumored to appear so she is an option. Idris Elba, who is confirmed to appear, also said he did a scene with Tom Hiddleston, but Marvel has not confirmed the appearance of Loki. It was also once rumored that a new Guardian, possibly Mantis, and we can never rule out the appearance of either Black Panther or Spider-Man.

Is Adam Warlock on His Way to the MCU?
A smaller story this week was that someone who works for Marvel let it slip that Adam Warlock will be in the MCU sooner rather than later. This information came during an online chat on Marvel Heroes but unfortunately no one was able to get a screenshot of the conversation. One of the top scoop hunters in the business, Latino-Review's Umberto Gonzalez, had this to say about the matter.
First Look at Luke Mitchell as Inhuman
As Agents of SHIELD heads farther and farther down the Inhuman path, they will have to keep introducing new Inhumans. Luke Mitchell is the latest man to get cast as an Inhuman named Lincoln. TV Line was able to release the above photo that gives us our first look at Luke Mitchell on Agents of SHIELD.

Age of Ultron Rumors Arise
The rumor mill never stops with comic book movies and especially Marvel ones. This week gave way to a whole bunch of rumors including what the team may look like at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, the possible death of a character, and what sides people will take heading into Captain America: Civil War. Read all of the rumors here.

3 Hour Run Time for Age of Ultron?
As this post was being written, Jeremiah Pearce from Comic Book Brain Splatter, found new information hinting towards an almost three hour run time for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The news comes courtesy of a theater chain called Event Cinemas, but it may not be accurate. Ryan Penagos (AgentM) responded on Twitter saying that they have not released the official run time yet. Different sites have had the run time between 140 to 150 minutes so having it be 170 minutes would be amazing.
