Comic-Con 2013 'Avengers 2' Movie News: Joss Whedon Announces 'Age of Ultron' As Title
Joss Whedon took to the Hall H stage at Comic-Con to let a tidbit of information slip out from the Marvel Studio's vault of secrets - the full title of the next Avengers film.
The writer/director premiered a teaser for the 2015 film dubbed Avengers: Age of Ultron. Various characters from last year's The Avengers can be heard talking about how the superhero collective is not truly a team, how they lack the unity to be one, while viewers see Iron Man's iconic helmet distorting on screen. However, when the shot zooms out, it turns out the being is not Iron Man, according to Yahoo! Movies.
If you don't know who Ultron is, you're in good company. Captain America actor Chris Evans and the Black Widow's Scarlett Johansson were apparently in the dark as to the film's title and identity of the featured villain, according to MTV.
With a title pulled from the recent Brian Michael Bendis comic book series, Ultron is far older. Created in 1968, the AI robot was born of Henry Pym's (Ant-Man) brainwaves and adamantium. Utron eventually goes rouge becomes the villain.
While this helps the possibility of the inclusion of Vision, who some have posited will be played by Vin Diesel, as one of Ultron's weapons, it also creates some confusion. Where will Thanos fit in? How can Ant-Man's creation already be featured in a Phase Two film when Edgar Wright's Ant-Man film will not be released until Phase Three?
Since Avengers: Age of Ultron won't be hitting theaters until 2015, fans still have plenty of time to try and figure out how the new film will fit together.
