The four-day San Diego Comic-Con 2014 is a much-anticipated annual event that reveals a lot of surprises and exclusive peeks into upcoming Hollywood projects. This year's offering certainly did not disappoint.
Right after Marvel Studios revealed the exclusive poster art for superhero film "Ant Man," the production house unveiled two new concept art posters for "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron," writes ScreenCrush.com. The two posters featured Elizabeth Olsen's character as Scarlet Witch and Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Later, it also revealed posters of Quicksilver (Aaron-Taylor Johnson) with Vision (Paul Bettany) in the background, and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Marvel has also already shown poster arts for Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Captain America (Chris Evans).
In all the posters, we see the heroes appearing to be in combat and surrounded by creepy and destructive looking robots. In Scarlet Witch's area, notice how one robot actually has an arrow through his head, which fans may easily conclude as coming from Hawkeye. This style could be similar to what Marvel Studios did with their previous "Avengers" posters at the 2010 Comic Con, ScreenRant writes, which although individually released, can be cleverly pieced together to create one awesome panorama of all the lead characters.
According to ScreenRant's feature on "Avengers: Age of Ultron," the so-called "earth's mightiest" will be coming together to battle the new antagonist, Ultron. And while we will still be treated to a showcase of jaw-dropping special effects and indomitable wit, the film will also be featuring new internal conflicts among the main charaters, with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver having different ideas from the rest of the team. Rumors are going around that Tony Stark MAY be responsible for Ultron himself.
These posters will be available exclusively at the Marvel booth at SDCC while supplies last, according to IGN. But given how massive this movie is going to get, fans can expect these prints to be released worldwide soon, as well. "Avengers: Age of Ultron" also stars Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Samuel L. Jackson as Director Nick Fury, James Spader as Ultron, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill and Chris Hemsworth as Thor. It is set to hit threaters on May 1, 2015. It is directed by Joss Whedon, whose previous directing credits include "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "The Avengers," and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
The San Diego Comic-Con International is happening at the San Diego Convention Center until July 27, 2014.
