There's obviously a lot going on in Joss Whedon's new Avengers movie, and while fans have been able to piece together a lot of plotty bits and pieces from the clips and promos released so far, they certainly haven't uncovered the whole picture. That's why reveals like last week's poster, which gave Don Cheadle top-tier billing and confirmed that Anthony Mackie will be appearing, can result in such excited reception. And now, here's a new trailer, with lots of new material. Hardly any of these shots have been seen before. It's a big moment in the Ultron publicity campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQVEC1YGLK4 Well, that just looks excellent. It's just so witty, above everything else, even while it's focusing on action over character or even story. I'm anticipating this film largely on good faith, I'll admit. Whedon's work on... well, on anything, really, but particularly on the first Avengers film, has left me pretty sure he's going to knock this one over the fences. The Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released in the UK on April 23rd and the US on May 1st.
