New Age of Ultron TV Spot Shows Lots of New Footage

When many people think of March Madness their minds go to basketball, but Marvel was not about to let basketball steal all of the news cycle. Marvel has released a new TV spot that was filled with lots of new footage.

The new TV spot gave us new looks at all of our heroes and villains, the recruitment of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) to become Avengers, Quicksilver's accent, and lots more.

Check out the TV spot below followed by some screen grabs from the new footage shown.

Chris Hemsworth Talks Age of Ultron, Loki on the Throne

News outlets are starting to get their embargoes lifted from set visits to Marvel's upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Today, Collider released an interview with Thor actor Chris Hemsworth. Here are some of the major points.

When asked about the previous confrontations and fights Thor was in in The Avengers and if we would see more of the same, Hemsworth said, "We’re not as conflicted as we were before, I think.  He tags off with someone else though.  I think we sort of changed up there, and he has a pretty solid battle with… am I allowed to say? Yeah, with Iron Man in this one, which is cool.  It’s a lengthy fight scene of destruction."

Reporters went on to ask him about the fallout of Thor: The Dark World and Loki's presence on the Asgardian throne. Hemsworth said, "Up until kind of the third act or sort of halfway through he begins to have suspicions about what’s going on here or what this bigger picture is here and who’s involved.  He doesn't know by the end of it but he starts to think something’s not right here.  This is all a little too convenient why this has happened, which certainly points his focus back there."

When asked about the threat of Ultron and if large threats have any affect on Thor, Hemsworth said, "I think he openly admits, “I don’t think we’re going to win this one.”  Yeah, the threat is so great that I think all of them are sort of scratching their heads going, “Is this it?” rather than, “Okay, we have to kill this many things.”  It’s just an onslaught and it doesn’t stop.  It’s sort of an open sort of floodgate and what it could also set in motion is an even bigger threat. I think that’s what’s Thor’s kind of stuck on or where he is attention certainly is, an even bigger picture of Thor being from Asgard.  He can just say, “Hang on, there’s a whole universe here which is signaling something else.”

Hemsworth also teased what kind of fighting style Thor would have in Avengers: Age of Ultron saying, “You know, let’s make sure he’s picking up cars and throwing them and ripping things in half and spending a bit more time up in the air and using the elements as opposed to being stuck kind of in a hand-to-hand sort of fist fight with the bad guys.”  So yeah, I think it keeps getting kind of amped up and then the stunts become more elaborate.  Yeah, we see him fly a bit more."

You can read the full interview posted by Collider for more information on the movie.

10 Most Anticipated Moments in Age of Ultron

As we get closer to the release of Marvel's most anticipated movie yet, Avengers: Age of Ultron is sure to have it's fair share of jaw dropping moments. There have been lots of these moments teased in the trailers so far and I have compiled a list of 10 moments that I'm anticipated the most. Check out the list below!
10. Klaw's Involvement
When Andy Serkis first joined Avengers: Age of Ultron, it was assumed given his background in motion capture that he would use those skills. Instead, Serkis will be playing the famous Black Panther villain Ulysses Klaw. He has been shown briefly in each of the first two trailers but how big of a role he will actually have is not clear. He may simply be an easy way to introduce Wakanda and give Ultron the Vibranium he needs but if the glimpses we have gotten are any indication, his role may be much bigger.
9. Banner's Anger Problems
Thanks to his role in The Avengers, the Hulk became a favorite among fans around the world. His future in the movies has been a hot topic with rumors stating he be in space by the time Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to an end. His fate may be related to his ability to control his anger and not Hulk out. From the footage we've seen of Banner, his ability to control the Hulk is unstable. Seeing how he deals with his anger will be very interesting to watch.
8. The Twins
Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) are some of the newest super powered individuals in the Marvel cinematic universe. They have been used sparingly in marketing in large part to most likely make their screen time that much more enjoyable. The twins will begin by helping Ultron but should switch and join the Avengers before the movie is finished. How their powers will be displayed and utilized make their presence one of my most anticipated moments of the film.

7. Cameos
We know a large majority of the cast and characters that will make appearances in Avengers: Age of Ultron but their are certainly a few that should surprise us. From Black Panther, to Carol Danvers, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Mantis, SHIELD agents and their director, or even a new Peter Parker, there has been no shortage of rumors on who just might make a cameo. Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) seems like the most likely cameo to take place, especially considering Agents of SHIELD is set to tie in to this movie. Other than that, Scott Lang, Hank Pym, or Stephen Strange would be a pleasant surprise and makes this one of my most anticipated moments of the film, should it happen.

6. Civil War Seeds
Following Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel will release Ant-Man before delivering what Anthony Mackie called "Avengers 3.8" in Captain America: Civil War. Civil War will feature Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans) square off about who super powered people, like themselves, should have to answer to. Marvel has been hinting at Civil War for quite some time and should continue that during Avengers: Age of Ultron making it one of our most anticipated moments.

5. Hero vs Hero Fights
One of the best parts of The Avengers was seeing heroes go to head to head. Thor vs Hulk, Iron Man vs Thor, and Black Widow vs a mind controlled Hawkeye were just a few of the battles that we saw. We know of one hero vs hero fight that will get more of a spotlight later on. In the footage we have seen, we know there will be some tension between Thor and Iron Man, but what other fights we could see are a mystery. It seems very likely that we will see Captain America and Iron Man go head to head to preview Captain America: Civil War. Seeing other heroes, both old and new, go head to head will be a very memorable part of the film.

4. Splitting the Team
With Captain America: Civil War on the horizon, there have been plenty of rumors of what side other characters will pick. It is rumored that the current Avengers team will be no more after this movie for various reasons and Captain America will form and lead a brand new team. Seeing who exactly makes that team, where the rest of the current Avengers go, and what this could mean for the future make it a very anticipated moment of the film.
3. Final Ultron Battle
The villainous A.I. Ultron will be the big bad the Avengers have to face in Avengers: Age of Ultron. We've seen the introduction to Ultron in the trailers but the final battle between him and the team should be extremely memorable. Should he get his body coated in Vibranium remains to be seen but from the footage Marvel has shown, Ultron will be an incredibly hard opponent to take down. As he said, "There are no strings on me."
2. Reveal of Vision
Contrary to the amount of promo art that has come out featuring the full life form of JARVIS, his transformation into the Vision has not been shown in footage. Marvel has, to this point, hid Vision (Paul Bettany) in live action and unless they surprise us in the third (last) trailer we won't see him. The reveal of Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron and what side he starts and finishes on make his reveal one of the most anticipated moments.
1. Hulk vs Hulkbuster
This should not be a surprise to anyone who has been following Avengers: Age of Ultron. Marvel teased the Hulk vs Hulkbuster fight with promo art during their Marvel/75 Years/Pulp to Pop special on ABC and has been the centerpiece of the trailers. Seeing the full fight on the big screen and who may or may not be controlling/manipulating the Hulk will be a great moment in MCU history.

Marvel Changes Phase 3 Release Dates

After Sony and Marvel agreed on a deal for Spider-Man, they had to do some shuffling. The first Spider-Man solo movie of the MCU will come out on July 28, 2017. The problem with that was Thor: Ragnarok was already scheduled to come out that day.

Marvel has pushed back 4 movies to make room the new Spider-Man reboot. They have decided to move Thor: RagnarokBlack PantherCaptain Marvel, and Inhumans.

Thor: Ragnarok is now scheduled to come out November 3, 2017. Black Panther is set to be the first film after Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and premiere July 6, 2018. Their first female led movie Captain Marvel follows with a release date on November 2, 2018. The last move was moving Inhumans from before Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 to after with a July 12, 2019 release date.

The moving dates mean we get to see more of Spider-Man sooner, but that Marvel is pushing back the releases of their first female led film, a film lead by a black character, and the Inhumans, a race that is currently being introduced in Agents of SHIELD.

Marvel has so many properties in the works that there are hundreds of roles up for grabs. This past week gave us two new additions AKA Jessica Jones as well as confirmation on a character in Captain America: Civil War.

There was also a new episode of Agent Carter this week and the show-runners revealed a Black Widow connection. Chris Hemsworth offered an update on Thor: Ragnarok and the first TV spot for Avengers: Age of Ultron was released.

Toby Stephens Wants Marvel Role
There are many future Marvel role's up for grabs and the former Bond villain Toby Stephens wants one of them. In an interview with Radio Times, he said, "Marvel is one franchise that I think is fun, because they have this great blend of humour and irony alongside the superhero element. They tend to be very satisfying films to watch. I admire them for that. I don’t care whether it’s playing in one of those as a superhero or baddie, it would just be such fun to do one."

Daniel Brühl's Civil War Role Confirmed
When Marvel first announced the addition of Daniel Brühl to Captain America: Civil War, insiders in the business found that he was most likely a villain and also could appear in Doctor Strange. Now, thanks to a casting call, Brühl has been revealed to be Baron Zemo.

David Tennant Cast as Purple Man
Marvel's second Netflix program AKA Jessica Jones should start production soon and with that, the cast should be filling out quickly. Earlier this week, they announced that David Tennant has joined the show as Kilgrave, also known as Purple Man.
