Because we’re time-travellers here in New Zealand (ed. may or may not be due to the Space Infinity Stone), we get to live ahead of time and experience the sequel to the blockbuster ensemble film Avengers a whole week ahead of the world! (ed. TAKE THAT WORLD.)
On that note it means I should over-analyse the posters to really wet your pants in excitement for it’s impending release!
Black Widow is up first and you know what I love about this poster? It’s just a fierce power-pose! None of this butt-stuff going on and her top is zipped up which means she’s gonna throw down and you CAN’T STOP HER…
Wearing a slightly revised uniform, with light panels now adorning the suit which may hint at a possible increase in power for her Stingers (the combat gauntlets around her wrist), I’m excited to see if they give Natasha Romanov some more background with the sequel!
Captain America stands stoically, as the displaced soldier looks to be even more out of his depth this time around.
After returning from a frost-induced 50 year slumber, Steve Rogers went from fighting the Nazi regime, to fighting an alien race while his powers returned, to discovering the organisation he thought was helping him settle in was actually the regime he thought he’d already defeated to now fighting a highly intelligent sentient robot that may be indestructible.
At least he’s got a fresh new uniform for battle…
Hawkeye. Poor boring, Hawkeye. I don’t even think they’ve revised his uniform.
WAIT.
They gave him a jacket for the winter.
The funny thing is though, Clint Barton has a lot of hilarious qualities to him, which is something I hope they start working on. If they don’t, he’ll remain as ‘that guy who got taken over by the stick but then got knocked out and was sweet‘.
Poor, boring Hawkeye.
HULK. The guys has had 2 movies, and somehow his 30 minutes or so in the Avengers was far superior to both solo-flicks (ed. Yes, some of Norton’s film was great, but also just bleh).
BUT ANYWAY! Can we just focus on his chest? Look at that chest hair. Hulk has chest hair. That’s the goddamn manliest Hulk I’ve ever seen. You know he just walks into a forest and cuts down trees with his hands.
They also totally nail the fact that he’s angry, and is angry all the time. Just in case you didn’t know that the Hulk is always angry.
Iron Man. The man who started it all. As in Marvel’s Movie Universe.
42 suits down, and another for this film, nothing much has really changed for our armoured maverick. THOUGH! The suit is getting closer to the design of one known from the comics as the Bleeding Edge armour in the comics, so I guess he’s got that going for him.
I wonder how it’s going to be summoned…
Nick Fury. Based on the Ultimate version of the character, all he has to do is look like Samuel L. Jackson.
Done.
NEXT.
Thor. Chris Hemsworth. Kim from Home & Away.
Don’t think the suit has changed much, but I don’t know if that really matters because it’s a Hemsworth and that’s really all that matters.
Can we comment on how all the background Ultron Soldiers are pretty much the same robots? I know that in the film he makes his own army, but still…
If you want to FAN out, you can find the new trailer for Age Of Ultron here and join Kenny in doing so!
Is it supposed to say posers in the heading? Either way, awesome
I may or may not have been over-excited…
We also like to live on the edge with our grammar!
