Marvel has an enigmatic new trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron

last updated 13 January 2015

The big Ohio State-Oregon NCAA national title game had a pretty big sideshow: Marvel used the occasion to unveil the second trailer for its presumptive summer blockbuster, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Marvel certainly didn't give away the plot here — lots of people are asking, what does it all mean? — but James Spader's Ultron makes it sound like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s team of mortals, demigods, and superheroes is in for a rough go of it, with Ultron and each other: "Everyone creates the thing they dread. I'm going to tear you apart — from the inside." The movie comes out May 1. --Peter Weber
