Marvel Reveals "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" Movie Title for "Avengers 2"
Announced at San Diego Comic Con over the weekend was the official name for the sequel to last year's MARVEL's The Avengers, to be "Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron" by the President of Marvel Studio; Kevin Feige. Posted above is a first look at the logo to the movie. Written and directed by Joss Whedon, the film is scheduled to premiere May 1, 2015,
Before you folks get overtly excited based on the current comicbook storyline (I am assuming "excited", but I've not read the series unfortunately ;p) … in The Avengers: Age of Ultron, "Hank Pym" is no longer the creator of Ultron!
"Well, because there was a book called 'Age of Ultron' quite recently, a lot of people have assumed that is what we're doing, but that is not the case. We're doing our own version of the origin story for Ultron. In the origin story, there was Hank Pym, so a lot of people assumed that he will be in the mix. He's not. We're basically taking the things from the comics for the movies that we need and can use. A lot of stuff has to fall by the wayside." ~says Joss Whedon (via MovieWeb).
""We're crafting our own version of it where his origin comes more directly from The Avengers we already know about. It's a little bit darker than the other film because Ultron is in the house. There's a science fiction theme that wasn't there in the other one. Ultron is definitely something that evolves, so we're going to get together a couple of different iterations. Nothing can be translated exactly as it was from the comics; particularly Ultron." ~added Joss Whedon.
I don't know about you folks, but the notion of ULTRON is by far more interested that THANOS (who probably might be regulated to being the "Big Bad" in "Avengers 3", after "Guardians of the Galaxy" introduces "The Collector", IMHO). I liked the old-skool George Perez-design, to the new-fangled metal mecha monstrosities. He's gonna be hipper than Iron Man, I tells ya! LOL
Without a doubt, the toys will encompass near the entire team in The Avengers (regardless whatever costume incarnation that is going to happen), but what I am interested to see, is Ultron as TOY, and by that I do not mean the action figures undoubtably coming out from Hasbro, but perhaps a 1/6th-scaled one from Hot Toys? In die-cast metal? Now, wouldn't that be neat? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
