The second trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is here and with it brings a whole new bunch of clues and information to unravel.
We get more of a look at Ultron, that amazing Hulkbuster armour and the Avengers being forced apart.
Thor in particular is not happy with Tony Stark (technological advancements are not always good!) and Captain America still looks to be in some serious peril…
The trailer may be a mere one minute 40 seconds, but it packs a heck of a lot of information – so let’s get straight to the analysis.
Ultron
James Spader’s magnificently voiced Ultron is back and this time he is threatening to tear us apart from the inside.
And being that he is not restricted to just his metallic shells, but can conceivably infect anything technological, including for instance, your phone, this seems like a pretty valid threat and not one that can be easily defeated.
As the voice over (possibly Hawkeye) says at the start of the trailer, ‘this vulnerable world is going to need something more powerful than any of us.’
Could the answer to this be magic? Because it doesn’t look like a Hulk-punch to his metallic face will do the trick.
Let’s not forget that Ultron was created by Tony Stark as a kind of automated defence system/police force to help our hardworking heroes out and unfortunately, Ultron has become too intelligent to control and has decided that the biggest threat to the world, is actually the humans…
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch
Super twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are Team Ultron and they have powers (particularly the Scarlet Witch) unlike any the Avengers have had to face.
While Quicksilver is super-fast (always useful, especially when you have a lot to do), Scarlet Witch has the ability to see other realms and bend the past and future at her will.
She is also telepathic and can throw pretty awesome red energy orbs (as Iron Man gets to experience in the trailer).
Her magic holds an untapped mystery for Ultron. Her abilities are not something he can replicate with technology and even though she is Team Ultron, I have a feeling she is the key to bringing him down.
How they will make her switch to Team Avengers is anybody’s guess…though I can’t wait to find out!
Ulysses Klaw?
We get a good look at Andy Serkis’ unnamed character and I think he looks like the Black Panther’s nemesis Ulysses Klaw (a supervillain physicist who is the psionic embodiment of solid sound which he can wield as a weapon).
If I am right (which I hope I am as it would make a great first introduction), then it would mean that at least some of the Avengers will be setting foot in the Kingdom of Wakanda and that we will get to meet the ruler T’Challa (Black Panther’s real identity) played by Chadwick Boseman.
Mystery woman in the cave?
Who is she and what is her significance, because if she is in the trailer, she is bound to be someone integral to the plot?
Could she be an Eternal (a precursor to the Inhumans), an evolutionary off shoot of the human race created by the Celestials who are based on Titan and came to Earth to run a few genetic experiments on the human race?
If so, this would be a good start to opening up the more mystical side of the Marvel universe before the Doctor Strange movie gets here.
It’s Hulkbustin time!
We get more of a look at the Hulkbuster suit (which is still awesome) and a bit more of Hulk and Stark throwing down.
But this time around we also get a possible reason why Hulk has lost his cool and is tearing the city apart.
Check out his eyes! They are glowing red and resemble the signature of Scarlet Witch’s super-magic.
I am guessing she is most likely the cause of Bruce Banner’s zen shattering into an oblivion of green monster rage.
Black Widow backstory
She may not be getting a solo movie anytime soon, but it does look like we will get to see how Black Widow came to be who she is.
We get a glimpse of a young Natasha being forced down onto a gurney and the situation does not look friendly at all.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is released 24 April in the UK and May 1 in the US and we can’t wait!
