Production on “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the follow up to 2012s super hero extravaganza, has been under way for quite some time. We brought you the first leaked production video back in February and today Entertainment Weekly provided a close look at the flick including the titular character Ultron, as well as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Oh, and some other heroes you may have heard of.
The good news is that Ultron looks SO cool! The bad news is Quicksilver. Bearing in mind that this judgment is based on a single photograph (obviously not enough information to go on) the character looks… not awesome. The depiction of the same character in “X-Men: Days of Future Past” provided arguably the best sequences in the movie, it set the bar high and Marvel studios is going to have to work hard to meet it.
I have the upmost faith in the Marvel studios, they’ve been weaving gold pretty much non-stop since “Iron Man” blew all of our minds in 2008 and there’s no indication they intend to stop. I mean, have you seen the trailers for “Guardians of the Galaxy?” We’ve been pleasantly surprised with their interpretation and delivery of characters in the past and they could certainly do it again. Without further ado…
