Whilst an official plot may be both unnecessary (a supervillain plans nasty things, so some superheroes team up to look cool, have cool fights, and hopefully stop said supervillain from realising his plans – will probably cover it), and not entirely newsworthy for most films, given the scale of Marvel’s upcoming crossover movie, we figured fans may want to read Disney/Marvel Studios official synopsis for The Avengers: Age of Ultron (available below).
Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell – bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Like the first Avengers movie, the sequel (The Avengers: Age of Ultron) has once again written and directed by Joss Whedon, and is due to be released on April 24th 2015 in the UK, before making its official US release date on May 1st 2015.
