"Mad Max: Fury Road," "Spectre," "Jurassic World," "Terminator: Genisys" and "Mission Impossible 5" are all highly anticipated movies that are set to arrive this year. But in the superhero genre, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is without a doubt the most anticpated movie, bumping out fellow Marvel release "Ant-Man" and Fox's "Fantastic Four."
Digital Spy has published key plot points for Joss Whedon's followup to 2011's "The Avengers."
[Warning! Spoilers ahead!]
"Age of Ultron" producer Jeremy Latcham offered a few details on the team's status at the beginning of the movie.
"This movie starts off and the team is together, on a mission, they're working in tandem, and there are new relationships between them. Time has passed, so you pick up right in the middle of an action sequence and start trying to catch up."
Latcham also touched up on how the movie is a precursor to "Captain America: Civil War."
"Tony has been paying for everything, designing stuff, building new toys, he's the benefactor of the whole thing. But Steve Rogers is very much in charge of operations and missions, he's the moral compass. But how long can Tony Stark have someone else be in charge?"
Director Joss Whedon also spoke about the movie, claiming that "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is a movie with a lot of genres mixed together.
"I suppose if it's gonna get put in a category, it has got some science fiction in it, but for me, it's just everything. And hopefully that doesn't come out as ADD, but as what happens when you put these different people together, you get that kind of weird dissonance with their different worlds and styles, and you hopefully make music out of it, instead of a horrible cacophony."
Whedon also made it clear that he won't be coming back to direct "Avengers Infinity War" movies or any more "Avengers" film for that matter.
"I cannot imagine directing a film with - if you'll pardon the expression - more f**king people in it. I'd love to see one, though."
