As the days inch closer towards the release of The Avengers: Age of Ultron, there is still very much to learn about Marvel's next addition into the Cinematic Universe canon.

Avengers 2 Tony Stark Is About To Make A Major Mistake, Find Out How Ultron Will Come Into Existence In Age Of Ultron

Entertainment Weekly released the first look at the villain Ultron yesterday with some commentary from writer/director Joss Whedon, and Wednesday, Marvel head Kevin Feige spoke with IGN about some of the rumors he could confirm and what audiences could expect from the superhero team-up.

Initially, Feige mentioned that what audiences perceived as Stark Tower from the first Avengers movie is no more, and with the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the dissipation of S.H.I.E.L.D has left a lot of unanswered questions for the heroes.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone - for people who are following along. S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded and brought down at the end of The Winter Soldier because it turned out to not be the best organization ever," Feige told IGN. "So Tony's bank-rolling The Avengers now. And he's bank-rolling their headquarters. So it's now Avengers Tower."

In addition to funding them, Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has also created a few additions to the newly named Avengers Tower.

"Tony designed it so in addition to a hanger for a brand-new Quinjet, laboratories, places where he can build and store his Iron Man suits, there are I believe two bars," Feige said. "Beautiful multiple space living rooms which are perfect for parties and social gatherings. But it's a primary location in the film this time around."

So far, one of the images from Avengers: Age of Ultron is concept art of Iron Man in his Hulkbuster armor fighting the Hulk. Feige iterated that this scene, and a lot of other large scenes, are the money shots of the movie.

"There are a lot of scenes that you should be getting excited about," he explained. "That is certainly one of them. I think I said a long time ago when Joss [Whedon] first did his six-page or 10-page outline for Avengers, there was a lot of work and the movie's adapted quite a bit since then, but there were like six or seven signature things just in that," Feige said. "I said 'Joss, even if we don't do anything else. Just do these seven things, that's enough for the movie. Now let's get to work and put it all together.' Those things are in the movie and are amazing, of which that sequence is one."

Avengers: Age of Ultron is due in theaters May 2015. It is written and directed by Whedon with a cast that includes Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Elizabeth Olsen.
