Avengers: Age of Ultron Premieres New Stills; First Look at Anthony Mackie

Just when you thought the wind-up to the release of Avengers 2 was about to slow down for a hot minute, another piece of information makes your anticipation jump right back up. In this case, here are 14 new pictures from Avengers: Age of Ultron, which might very well break the box office. Even after all the photos released thus far, these new pictures will certainly give those who haven't seen the movie as of yet plenty to chew on. It's worth noting the one picture where we see a clear meeting between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) - a.k.a. Iron Man - and Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) - a.k.a. Falcon - who proved a major presence in last summer's pretty solid Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There's also a great picture of the Stark-powered Hulkbuster suit going at it with the Hulk, which has been one of the more talked about action sequences amongst those who have already seen the film. To round it out, we have a picture of Joss Whedon and James Spader behind the scenes, as well as Baron Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann) and Ulysses Klaw (Andy Serkis).

Just in case you forgot, here's the official synopsis for Avengers 2:

Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
