Guardians of the Galaxy is only about two weeks away. In my excitement for Star-Lord and his crew, I’ve sort of forgotten about Avengers: Age of Ultron. But in light of the upcoming San Diego Comic Con, Marvel and Entertainment Weekly have pulled out the big guns.
The upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly features Age of Ultron on its cover as well as a number of new images.
I haven’t read too much about Age of Ultron; I know there are some spoilers out there and I want to keep things pretty spoiler-free. I’ve loved everything about Phase Two of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, especially Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Marvel just keeps pushing their universe forward and I keep eating it up.
Once I see Guardians of the Galaxy four times in the theater I’ll be ready to turn my attention to Avengers: Age of Ultron. I know I’ll be just as excited to see the Avengers assemble for the second time as I was the first time around. We have to wait over nine months for Age of Ultron, though, so it’s probably better to ease ourselves into the excitement.
Check out the photos below and then share what excites you about them.
Hooray for Joss Whedon being back at the helm.
Hooray for Mark Ruffalo returning as Banner – I really liked Ed Norton in the role, too, but Ruffalo is such fun to watch.
On a purely superficial level, hooray for Scarlet Johansson being pretty.
I know zilch about Ultron, but I am sure I will enjoy the Avengers sequel. By the way, I recently caught the first few minutes of “Guardians of the Galaxy” in a special preview. It was fun!
This issue also has a Jim Steranko article. Love me some Steranko.
Good to see a tanelt at work. I can’t match that.
