'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' Trailer Video Leak, Release Date: Marvel Blames Hydra
"Dammit Hydra!" That was all Marvel could say after the official trailer of the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was leaked online on Wednesday, Oct. 22, a week before its intended preview during next week's episode of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
The "Avengers: Age of Ultron" will not be seen on the big screen until May 1, 2015.
A few hours after the trailer was leaked, Marvel was left with no other choice but to release its own official version of the trailer in HD. Here is the youtube link to the official trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmeOjFno6Do#t=18
The much anticipated trailer shows delicious glimpses of new characters and shocking scenes in the Avengers sequel.
The most tantalizing of the new characters is undoubtedly Ultron himself, one of the biggest villains in the Marvel Universe. In the trailer, Ultron (voiced by James Spader) appears to be wearing the invincible Hulkbuster armor created by Tony Stark (aka Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr.).
One of the scenes shows Captain America (Chris Evans) kicking open the door of what looks like a mountain fortress of Hydra. In the Marvel Universe, Hydra is a world-wide subversive organization dedicated to global domination.
A few clips show the Hulk (Bruce Banner, played by Mark Ruffalo) slugging it out with Iron Man and then with Ultron.
One snippet shows Banner bound up in the Quinjet as his fellow Avengers stand beside him. Another scene showsBanner running through the woods on his own.
One clip shows Stark telling the other Avengers, "This is the end, the end of the path that I started us on." This appears to be another indication that Iron Man is quitting the Avengers, a hint that he first dropped at the end of "Iron Man 3."
One scene shows Thor (played by Chris Hemsworth) hoisting Stark by his throat. Then in a split-second clip, he drops his hammer, the Mjolnir. Is Thor quitting, too?
The end of the trailer is a shocker -- Captain America's shield shown broken into pieces. What force could be strong enough to destroy what is supposed to be the First Avenger's indestructible weapon? Not even Thor's hammer could break it in "The Avengers."
Surprisingly, Andy Serkis, the actor who played Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings," makes a brief appearance. His part in the movie remains unknown, and the trailer did not provide any clue.
Rumors from the grapevine say Iron Man may sacrifice himself in the movie but that a new Iron Man will emerge in the person of the Vision (played by Paul Bettany who does the voice of Jarvis, Stark's AI sidekick).
