its def a spoiler, but a pretty minor spoiler.

No significant plot points are revealed, but still the courteous thing to do leaving it in spoilers

I loved what I read in the spoiler. If that's the first act then I can only imagine how insane the third act will be.
 
I wonder if speedball will be referenced. Maybe we can get a civil war movie but that would still require marvel getting some movie rights or working with the other studios. Eh...
 
Good sign that there will be a clip for SDCC though the only way to see it for non-attendees will likely have to be from a leaked vid.

CineEurope: Disney Rolls Out 'Star Wars' Icon R2D2, Debuts 'Avengers 2' Footage


The studio also treats foreign theater owners to scenes from "Cinderella," while J.J. Abrams sends a videotaped message from the set of "Star Wars: Episode VII" in Abu Dhabi.

BARCELONA — Star Wars robot R2D2 literally rolled onto the stage at CineEurope on Wednesday to help Disney promote its upcoming titles from a stable of brands, which now count Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, Pixar, Walt Disney Animation and Disney live-action.

J.J. Abrams couldn't attend the annual gathering of foreign theater owners, but Disney and LucasFilm played a special videotaped message from the director from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII in Abu Dahbi. Abrams said he had just finished two weeks of shooting, and described it as a thrill to see the movie’s incoming cast act on set with the members of the original installments. “See you guys next year,” Abrams said before R2D2 trundled off stage.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige did turn up in Barcelona, armed with the first footage from Avengers: Age of Ultron, directed by Joss Whedon, who is half way through a 100-day shoot for the film in London. Feige also played sequences and an interview montage from Ant-Man, including contributions from Peyton Reed, who recently replaced Edgar Wright as director for the long-gestating movie.

International exhibitors then watched extensive footage from Marvel's August 2014 tentpole Guardians of the Galaxy, including the film’s opening sequence.

Disney's worldwide distribution chief Dave Hollis kick-started the CineEurope presentation with a heartfelt thanks to the European exhibitors for supporting the studio’s branded tentpole strategy.

Hollis and his team played the first 10 minutes of upcoming Disney musical Into The Woods, starring Meryl Streep with music from Stephen Sondheim. Later, Kenneth Branagh apologized via a taped message for not being in Barcelona as he is playing Macbeth on stage in New York. He then introduced sneak peak at his live-action Cinderella, which hits theaters next spring.
 
Looks like Avengers Academy will be in the film. I am not sure how I feel about the Avengers practically turning into the new SHIELD.
Very interesting...I'm hoping this is during the end of the film. 
 
I don't think it would be, from what I read, there was a little fighting scene filmed there and also if you can tell, the "students/trainees" has a similar blue uniform that Quicksilver was wearing in the older set pics so I think this might be right by the beginning where Stark is establishing himself to be the financier of the Avengers and then when Quicksilver joins up, they gave him the same uniform? It could also work vice versa but if I were to guess, I'd go with the first.

Actor Mark Ruffalo recently participated in a Reddit fan Q&A

Q:Is your friendship with Robert Downey Jr. in real life as good as it is on the screen between your characters?
RUFFALO: Better. We have a really good friendship. We've known each other since before Zodiac. And he's kind of like an older brother that I wish I had. He sort of looks out for me, and I remember when the role came up in the movie, I reached out to him, I was nervous about it, I said "I don't know if I can do this" and he said "It's alright buddy, I gotcha."

Q:Mark, you bring so much life to everything you're featured in, and you're such a joy to watch. With that in mind, how much longer do would you like to play Bruce Banner/Hulk?
RUFFALO: As long as they'll have me. I did the math, and in 3 more movies I'll be in my 50's, and I don't know if anyone wants to see a gray-haired Hulk. Maybe that's not true...

Q:What makes you Hulk level angry?
RUFFALO: People messing up the environment with little care of the people and living things it will effect. Climate Change denial bums me out but that is mostly people who just haven't looked too deeply into the issue or have very little regard for science. Cruelty, and selfishness upset me and greed is a major ugly quality in people.Wars also suck.

Q:If you had to pick someone to play my love Jennifer Walters/She Hulk, who'd be your top choice?
RUFFALO: Oh wow, that's pretty crazy. Well I think Zoe Saldana would be a great She Hulk. It'd be nice to see someone like her join the Avengers. Or someone quiet and demure like Emma Stone would be nice. But it would be up to the powers that be.

Q: Hi Mark, are you a comic book fan? Who is your favorite superhero?
RUFFALO: Well, growing up, when I was little it was the Hulk and Bill Bixby's the Incredible Hulk TV show. But as I got older it was Wolverine, and I have a signed first edition of the Wolverine by Frank Miller. That's pretty cool.

Q: Who's your favorite Pokémon?
RUFFALO: Squirtle. For some reason that was the first Pokemon I got on my Gameboy, when I was playing it - they would give you 2 different ones, Charmander or Squirtle, and I started with Squirtle, so I have a warm place in my heart for Squirtle.

Q: Hi Mark....... please answers this. Who is your favorite Avenger (besides the Hulk)?
RUFFALO: Probably Black Widow. She's just so cool, and she has to rely on her wits and her own attributes to outsmart and get the upper hand on her opponents.


While still making rounds for his new film, Begin Again, Mark Ruffalo also talked with Indiewire about his return to Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk in next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and where he'd like to take the character afterwards. Possibly confirming recent rumors that indicate where the Jade Giant will likely end up before The Avengers 3, Ruffalo was asked if he was dying to do a new standalone film. The actor also says he wants to be the "leading edge" of motion-capture.

"If we could find a story that's compelling enough to hold people's interest for the two hours -- that is essential," he reiterated. "It's a tough nut to crack and I see it as a tough nut to crack. I think it's tougher than the other superheroes because you have a guy who essentially doesn't want to be there doing the thing that you want him to do more than anything. So it can be frustrating as an audience member. It could become a little mirthless. I think that Joss [Whedon] is trying to set it up enough so that we can strike out new ground on that relationship. With the new technology there's a lot to do in Hulk-land that we haven't done yet that is really exciting. So you could have a balance of the two. And I've been finding this relationship between Banner and the Hulk and Hulk and Banner is equally compelling -- it's been explored in the comics, but never in the movies. It's always been Banner's relationship to this sort of lump, this unknowable very two-dimensional thing. But there's also something really interesting about Hulk's relationship with Banner. The only thing that scares Hulk is Banner. It's not some bigger, scarier, huger thing -- it's this frail man. And it terrifies him and it angers him. It's such an interesting relationship that no one has cracked. I feel like that would be an interesting place for us to go. That might hold people's attention."
 
Kinda doubt Avengers Academy being in the film or at least super powered teenagers.

Wouldn't mind seeing that aspect in the SHIELD tv show though.

Pretty sure there's a typo in this answer....
 
Going to need a much closer look and a full body pic of Ultron, right now it looks like a generic Transformer. Should have been better, might be the red eyes, the drones in the back looks more Ultron-ish.
 
I see Hawkeye has taken the Rick James "f yo couch *****" position.

Tony needs to kick him through the dresser mirror.
