A new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer has been released online. This marks the third such trailer for the highly anticipated Marvel sequel, and as the pic's release is now merely two months away, things are really ramped up here. I'm thankful to see that the plot specifics are still being kept mostly under wraps, and in its place we get an onslaught of superhero action with a focus on James Spader's villainous Ultron. If you thought The Avengers was big, this new trailer shows that Joss Whedon has gone above and beyond in the follow-up, which looks to be positively massive. And in keeping with what Jeremy Renner told us while on set, we see plenty more scenes featuring the entire Avengers team together, rather than split apart.
I'll admit the side shot of the entire Avengers team attacking some unknown force looked pretty great, and it's fun to see them all hanging out together, discussing their impending doom. And is that some romance brewing between Hulk and Black Widow?
