It's been ten years in the making and it has taken 18 films to reach the pinnacle of what will be the biggest game-changer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After only showing up briefly throughout the films (Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, & Avengers: Age of Ultron), Thanos has taken center stage with the Black Order as they reign chaos in Avengers: Infinity War. I will be giving a brief non-spoiler review, and then diving in to go over some of the best (and very spoiler-filled) moments.
Ever since they announced that the film was being pushed up a week to April 27th, we all have been asking the same question; Is there going to be a second trailer? We are a little over a month away and all we have is that one teaser trailer three months ago.
Today is the day! We were promised a new trailer for Captain America: Civil War and we got it! It had everything! We got more of a perspective from Tony's side of the feud this time around and we saw just how War Machine ends up being beaten up pretty badly and cradled unconsciously by Iron Man. We were treated to much more Black Panther action and we also saw a VERY awesome sequence in which Ant-Man shrinks down and flies on one of Hawkeye's arrows. So fantastic! Oh...and Spider-Man finally debuted. Check it out!
It's that time of year. While two teams decide which one is the best in the NFL during this year's Super Bowl, the nation watches and waits...for commercials. In the year of dozens of Geek related films, we all waited to see what new trailers we'd get for those films. First up was Marvel and their new teaser for Captain America: Civil War.
As production begins for Captain America: Civil War, Marvel Studios has released a statement announcing the cast and the premise for the upcoming film:
So, Marvel "accidentally" leaked the Age of Ultron trailer today, and blamed it on Hydra. Nice. Watch for yourselves, I'm speechless. I can't wait to see this movie, and I think it's going to top Avengers as the biggest comic book movie ever...for now.
The evening began with a very long montage video of all the films, heroes, villains including Guardians of the Galaxy and a great look at Thanos. Kevin Feige came out and said they're focusing on 2015, which means Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-man which they began with.
Earlier this week Marvel announced that Thor would be changed into a female character with a new series this Fall. Marvel wasn't done. Last night it was announced that Steve Rogers would be passing on the shield, but not to the Winter Soldier. Taking over for Rogers as Captain America will be Sam Wilson aka The Falcon.
Entertainment Weekly has provided us with a first look at Avengers: Age of Ultron which hits theaters May 1st, 2015. The cover of EW gives us a good look at Ultron for the first time. In the article itself EW reports Tony Stark will be the one to build Ultron in an effort to save the world and give the Avengers some time off but as they always seem to do with best laid intentions, things go horribly wrong.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is set for release on May 1st 2015 but filming has already started. A few photos have leaked to the web, among them the debut of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Feast your eyes and salivate...also do I see perhaps Ultron amongst the action? Its still very early but it looks like he'll be both CGI and practical effects much in the manner of Tony Stark in the Iron Man suit.
