First Official Sneak Peek at Avengers: Age of Ultron
Entertainment Weekly continues to be a magazine in circulation, and they have landed the first official look at Avengers 2: Age of Ultron! I used to love that magazine in high school in the swinging late 90s. So good for them at this pretty awesome scoop. Check out this cover, with our first real look at Ultron himself!
He looks pretty gnarly. And Captain America and Iron Man look pretty cool too.
You can check out an early sneak peek at the Avengers 2 interview at their website. It gives a lot of details on the plot, so be careful of spoilers, and talks about a few of the new characters. You can check out a few pictures by clicking here, including an official look at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, as well as a possible surprise superhero cameo. Or you can just wait for the actual magazine, because people still apparently buy those. Right now, I’m legitimately considering it.
Josh Brolin to Fulfill Lifelong Goal of Obtaining the Infinity Gauntlet
Actor Josh Brolin’s lifelong goal of commanding the forces of time and space are about to come to fruition now that he will be playing Thanos the Mad Titan in both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. There’s an extremely good chance that both appearances will be little more than cameos, especially the one in Avengers 2, but hopefully the all-mighty, all-knowing Death will accept both as tribute.
He is become Thanos, destroying of worlds
Many assumed Brolin’s role in The Goonies was his first attempt at gathering the legendary Infinity Gauntlet – what with the Soul Gem hidden among One-Eyed Willie’s treasure – but that attempt proved fruitless.
Maybe some big budget, Marvel blockbusters will finally see his grand scheme succeed.
Personally, I hope to see him conquer all. Brolin seems like a fine guy. Does anybody know if this will be voice acting or motion capture? Or…a lot of purple makeup?
Though how this will effect Jonah Hex 2 is anyone’s guess…
Paul Bettany as the Vision? Alright, I’ll Buy It
The superhero movie rumor mill is grinding away today at full force, with news out of England that Paul Bettany will be playing the Vision in Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. Bettany, if you recall, has been the voice of Tony Stark’s computer/butler J.A.R.V.I.S. in all of the Iron Man movies, as well as the first Avengers. And the Vision is an android from the comics. So it would kind of make sense for the artificial intelligence to just upgrade into a robot body.
I can see the resemblance, especially in the eyes
Right now, this casting is all rumor, I think. It’s all over the Internet today, but Marvel hasn’t said anything concrete. It was reported in The Daily Mail, who said they saw Bettany undergoing some make up work on the set. Then it got confirmed by Variety. I don’t usually like to post these sorts of rumors, but it’s a slow news day, and I actually really like this idea.

The Avengers to Reap Cosmic Justice for the Last Few Seasons of The Office
I loved The Office. The show was amazing, the characters were great, and it was definitely appointment TV. But towards the end, it just got bad. It lost all of the magic of the earlier seasons, and it just started piling on bad characters. Worst of all was James Spader as Robert California. Wow, did I hate Robert California. He’s probably the No. 1 reason I stopped watching The Office.
Well lo and behold, the Avengers themselves are going to step up and avenge my lost love! James Spader has been cast as Ultron in The Avengers sequel!
He already looks like a robot
I know Spader is probably just going to be voicing a robot – what with Ultron being a robot – but this still means the Avengers are going to put the beat down on Robert California! This is exciting news.
