Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 9 Important Things Hidden In The New Trailer

3. Claws For Concern

Now this one has got everyone all a-flutter. There's a very, very brief shot of a guy popping three metal claws out of his hand. Wait, what? You mean like Wolverine? But there's been no news of a Sony-alike deal, with the X-Men being brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the same way as Spider-Man! So what exactly is going on here? Well, it's definitely not Wolverine, because that's not happening and if it was everyone involved would already have made a big song and dance about it. It's also not just Marvel trolling audiences, amusing though that would be. You wouldn't shoot a scene like that purely to wind people up in a trailer. Well, Joss Whedon might, but he'd have to do it on his own time. Instead it's most likely a hint at what exactly Andy Serkis's mysterious character is up to. Most speculation has the Gollum actor pegged as playing Klaw, whose powers involve manipulating sound, but maybe he's getting a more literal set of weaponry here. Others have suggested they might be some fancy trick arrows of Hawkeye's, another desperate attempt to make people care about the character. Good luck with that.
