'Avengers: Age of Ultron' Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye to Have Larger Roles; 'Captain America' To Bridge 'Avengers' Films VIDEO
Avengers fans can expect to see a lot more of the Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye when the superhero collective reunites for Avengers: Age of Ultron.
While many Marvalites will be lining up soon to see their Asgardian hero hit the big screen in Thor: The Dark World, Marvel Studio's president of production, Kevin Feige, claims the upcoming Avengers sequel will turn the spotlight on some of the characters that don't have their own films in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe.
A stand-alone Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) film has failed to materialize so far - partially due to production costs for Bruce Banner's superhero - but Feige says the angry giant will get his fair share of the spotlight in 2015.
"All of the effort related to Hulk right now is going to Age of Ultron. It's exciting, because he hasn't been in any other film, so you can expect to have a lot of Bruce Banner and Hulk in Age of Ultron," Feige said, according to the Reviewer. "Where we go after that? We'll see. It will be a little while before we figure that out but we do think there [are] plenty of opportunities with the Ruffalo Banner."
Writer/director Joss Whedon also stated that the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) will have more substantial parts in Age of Ultron.
The Black Widow currently has a large role to play in the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Solider, a film that Feige says plays a major role in connecting the 2012 Avengers to its sequel.
Avengers: Age of Ultron will hit theaters in the summer of 2015.
