[Movies] The Avengers 2

I'll just put this here....

That's a solid look for Ultron.

Also, I came across what exactly Entertainment Weekly has to report about the film. Apparently, Tony designs Ultron as a tool to help the Avengers and deal with incidents to help lessen the load for the team. However, things go wrong when Ultron decides that, in order to make the world safe, it's going to have to take control of it.

*nods* So it's basically Ultron's origin minus Pym. Shame, but having Tony do it makes sense, too.
 
Considering all the focus on his suits being able to auto-pilot in IM3 it makes sense, but it does suck we won't get the Pym angle as that's something pretty big for the character.
 
Is it weird for me to hope that Ultron turns out to be bigger than how he appears in that picture? Because I think that'd make him more imposing.

Otherwise, good look.
 
True true. I'll admit I'm not too familiar with Ultron, but if he's merely human-sized, I can imagine Hulk going all "puny robot" on him.

He is human-sized, but his body is generally made from adamantium (or at least the closest thing to it). So, Hulk might say "puny robot", but it's going to take a big beating to get a dent on Ultron.
 
That's what she said! :awesome:




(To break up the usual "prom night" schtick.)
To be fair, I don't think a prom night joke would fit there, anyway. :)

(Also, of course I don't notice until after it's been quoted that the sentence should have read "Strength has never been Ultron's strength.)[DOUBLEPOST=1405562778,1405562700][/DOUBLEPOST]

While I have a feeling they can't legally use adamantium, they COULD have him re-make himself in Vibranium. Not only has it already been established via Cap's shield, but it could set up Black Panther for a future movie.

As well as already being "discovered" by Stark in IM2.

That makes sense, considering how Wakanda will be a location in the film, if I remember correctly.

Also, read some more of what Entertainment Weekly had to say. It turns out that Ultron isn't looking to rule. To him, the key to world peace is the elimination of the problem: namely, the human race.

Didn't we just do that with the Sentinels in Days of Future Past? I don't mind if that's the case, because XM-DoFP was full of plot-holes (though still enjoyable) and I'll trust Joss Whedon to make things more coherent. Hopefully.

(Edited because colons are only used for eyeballs now.)

Well, the Sentinels aren't that geared for at least explaining their rationale in detail. Apparently, one example of dialogue from Ultron in the film is, "I know you're 'good' people. I know you mean well, but you just didn't think it through. There is only one path to peace: your extermination."

Also, Ultron is apparently going to have touches of Tony Stark's personality, sort of like how in the comics he was modeled off of Pym's brain patterns. I must say, it will be interesting to see how James Spader does as Ultron.

I just want a scene in this film where Thor gets knocked back by Ultron and drops his hammer, only for Cap to pick it up and hand it back to Thor. They don't even need to address this more than Thor looking somewhat confused before running back into the fray.

I would love that, except that my wife's reaction months ago when I told her Steve could pick up the hammer was overbearing giddiness, and I don't know if we can handle an internet population's worth of that.
 
I hope they're not introducing TOO many characters all at once. Between Ultron, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Vision, all the characters from the previous film, possible appearances from second stringers like War Machine and Falcon (as rumoured), AND a possible cameo by Black Panther, this movie is starting to feel awfully crowded.
 
More news from Entertainment Weekly, this time about Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Specifically, they'll show up not only as antagonists to the Avengers, but they'll be working alongside Ultron.

Also, Joss Whedon has all but confirmed J.A.R.V.I.S. becoming the Vision.

Considering Bettany was cast awhile ago as Vision, and has been voicing Jarvis, I think people knew that was coming.

There's an image of Don Cheadle talking to the rest of the Avengers out there. He's definitely in the movie, but who knows if it's as War Machine.
 
So maybe this had been covered but i take it the Quicksilver in the new X men movie is not the same as the one in the new film?

Since Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (who made a brief cameo as Quicksilver's little sister in DoFP) are synonymous with BOTH X-Men and Avengers, they were apparently up for grabs for both studios. Some would argue they have stronger ties with Avengers than with X-Men, since historically, they spent more time with the Avengers for decades than with the X-Men.

Their relationship with Magneto was rarely brought up after they joined the team. They really broke away from his shadow for a long time. It'd be mentioned once in awhile or maybe when the Avengers crossed over or teamed up with the X-Men, but aside from that, they were their own characters. It wasn't until about ten years ago, when Marvel did Disassembled and House of M that they were tied in more closely with Magneto again.

But yeah, back to the original question? Basically, since they have strong ties in both franchises, they were kind of open for grabs. I thought it was a dibs thing, like whichever studio could debut them first had exclusive rights, but apparently not.

Actually, what had happened was that an arrangement was settled between Marvel and Fox on their film rights. Namely, Fox can use Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch but can't mention anything related to the Avengers, while Marvel Studios can use them but can't mention their relationship to the X-men or the fact that they're mutants.

That's a pretty easy thing to do, then, since as I said, they're easily synonymous with both sides for different reasons. They can be mutants without ever being Avengers and they can be Avengers that have super powers without being mutants. Heck, I hear talk that since they can't use mutants, they're going to introduce The Inhumans into the Marvel film universe. Which, as luck would have it, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have ties to.

That is precisely what I think will happen. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. dropped plenty of hints related to the Inhumans near the end of the first season, and I mentioned earlier in the "Comic News" thread how in the comics there was the reveal of an Inhuman gene present in mankind. My bet is that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are folks whose Inhuman genes have become active, thus giving them their powers.
 
Has anyone tired assembling* them yet? I know it's missing Hulk, Thor, possible Fury, etc. but it looks like some of those link up already.

(*Heh heh.. "assemble")

Oooooo is that Vision floating in the air in the last one? Sweet!

Also the Hulk and Thor ones are missing but you can see where they connect (Hulk in the Black Widow one and Thor in the Quicksilver one).

Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch have edges that connect, so yeah... it's all one big poster. Thing is, we're missing Hulk, Thor, and War Machine so you can't connect the rest of them.
