Yesterday, Robert Downey Jr. took to Twitter to show off an Iron Man character poster for AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, as well to announce some big news coming next week. While there's no word of an announcement, Mark Ruffalo followed suit today with a Hulk character poster. While we're talking Avengers, writer/director Joss Whedon also chimed in with some details about AGE OF ULTRON's ending, and how it may top the first, of which you can check out below the big, green guy!
Joss Whedon on AGE OF ULTRON's climax:
Now that people accept the reality where Thor, Iron Man and all these guys hang out, I can now bend that reality. I’ve got Quicksilver and I’ve got Scarlet Witch and they have very different ways of looking at the world, looking at The Avengers and different powers. So that visually and emotionally, we can go to a place that we didn’t have access to the first time. [AGE OF ULTRON] got larger than the first film. I didn’t mean for it to get larger, but the climax that I pitched was completely unhinged and nobody said no, so that’s that. You know they’re going to fight Ultron. You know Ultron has a tendency to build hundreds of Ultrons. So that’s going to lead you in a certain direction, but the hard work of the thing is making sure everyone feels serviced and integrated. So, in the beginning it’s fun. You’re thinking, ‘What would be fun, what would be cool?
This poster looks like they just copy-pasta'd Hulk from the main one-sheet we've already seen, but it's all good. Maybe at the end of this whole character poster round-up, we'll get a nice, clear shot of Vision, sans lens flare? As far as the ending goes, I personally didn't care much for THE AVENGERS climax given that they were up against a bunch of CG nothings. Here's hoping Whedon injects some more personality into Ultron's army, so that I might actually give a shit. I'm pretty confident he will.
AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON arrives on May 1.
