Watch Hawkeye Sing About All Of His Powers

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I just arrived home from my Avengers: Age of Ultron screening, and what better way to wrap up that busy and action-packed flick than to listen to one of it’s heroes sing about all of the powers he has.

You don’t get to see all of Hawkeyes abilities onscreen (and it’s clear from the tune that he has a lot of them), but he does get the best line in the film (in my opinion).

This one’s set to the tune of Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud, and it’s freaking wonderful.

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Gets Two New Clips!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Avengers: Age of Ultron is fast approaching its May 1st release date, and Marvel has just debuted two fantastic new clips from the beyond-anticipated film.

In the movie, “When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.”

The first clip shows just how Black Widow learns to calm down Hulk, while the second features a heated argument between the main cast. They’re not very spoiler-y, but it’s definitely starting to feel like we’ve seen the whole film at this point.

Take a look at the clips below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

by Jonathan

Thom Parham is a scholar AND a gentleman… and I’m not just saying that.

Now a professor himself, he comes on Geekscape to talk about Daredevil, Batman V Superman, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Flash, Arrow and the latest news in the geek world. He really knows his stuff and he helps Will, Kenny and I collectively scream for an end to geeks cannibalizing each other! We’re in a Golden Age! Enjoy it!

Briefly: We’re finally just a few weeks away from the release of what has to be one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and what has to end up as one of the most successful films of the year, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

After releasing almost as many trailers as there are Avengers, the final trailer for the film finally hit the web today. It features a bunch of new footage, a bit more creepy Ultron, and dives a little deeper into Black Widow.

New ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ Trailer to Premiere This Thursday

by Eric Francisco

Avengers: Age of Ultron just can’t arrive fast enough.

This past week, Robert Downey Jr. teased a “big announcement” coming March 5. Depending on your hype levels for the movie, it’s either super disappointing or super… something else to look forward to: a new trailer.

A new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer will air this Thursday, March 5, during the premiere of American Crime at 10 PM EST.

I know, I know. A “big announcement” is just another new trailer. Kind of a bummer. But in addition to this yay?-level news, a new character poster has been released that will probably be your new iPhone wallpaper if you’re that kind of person: Jeremy Renner, looking mighty sad as Hawkeye, posted on his WhoSay account. Real question: who actually uses WhoSay? Besides Jeremy Renner.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is in theaters May 1, but I don’t think you need me to tell you that.

Marvel Releases Full Synopsis For ‘The Avengers: Age Of Ultron’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the plot details released all the way back in July, Marvel has just debuted the official, full synopsis for next year’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on May 1, 2015.

Getting excited? May 1st isn’t that far away! What are your thoughts on the plot revelation?

Take Your First Look At Ultron In ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: San Diego Comic-Con is fast approaching, and with it comes Entertainment Weekly’s annual Comic-Con Preview Issue.

This week’s cover features our first look at Ultron (well, Ultrons) in the film, as well as a slightly different suit for Cap. The first plot details for the film have also been revealed, so read all about Avengers: Age of Ultron via the excerpt below:

For better or worse (trust us, it’s worse), his Tony Stark has devised a plan that won’t require him to put on the Iron Man suit anymore, and should allow Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk to get some much needed R&R as well. His solution is Ultron, self-aware, self-teaching, artificial intelligence designed to help assess threats, and direct Stark’s Iron Legion of drones to battle evildoers instead.

 

The only problem? Ultron (played by James Spader through performance-capture technology) lacks the human touch, and his superior intellect quickly determines that life on Earth would go a lot smoother if he just got rid of Public Enemy No. 1: Human beings. “Ultron sees the big picture and he goes, ‘Okay, we need radical change, which will be violent and appalling, in order to make everything better’; he’s not just going ‘Muhaha, soon I’ll rule!’” Whedon says, rubbing his hands together.

So what do you think? How many minutes pass before Tony Stark is back in his suit?

Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theatres on May 1st, 2015.

Josh Brolin Cast As Marvel’s Thanos!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We got our first peek at Thanos in the mid-credits scene of last year’s The Avengers, and it appears as though we’re about to see a lot more of the character (especially if Del Toro’s The Collector is assembling the Infinity Gauntlet).

Latino-Review broke the news, which was later confirmed by Variety, that Josh Brolin will join the Marvel cinematic universe as Thanos. Like Rocket Racoon and Groot, it’ll likely be a voice-only performance, but he’s set to appear in (at least) both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

What do you think of the casting choice? Is there another actor you’d rather have seen in the role? Sound out below, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more.

More ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Set Photos Released Care Of Mark Ruffalo, Marvel Doesn’t Like It!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just yesterday, Robert Downey Jr. surprised us with the first official set photo from The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Now, Mark Ruffalo has given us another look… and Marvel doesn’t seem too happy about it.

Here’s how things went down:

 

 

Ruffalo then apologized, which didn’t seem to phase the studio (well, maybe a little):

 

In any case, it was a cute exchange, and we sure hope that these set photos continue. None of the images have been overly exciting (thus far), but we’ll take what we can get!

Robert Downey Jr Debuts First ‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Set Photo

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s not as exciting as the post-credits Captain America: The Winter Soldier tag, but it’s something.

Robert Downey Jr. has just debuted the first official set photo from the production of The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Downey and executive producer Jeremy Latcham are shown wearing reflective vests, so it’s quite possible that they’re standing amidst some set construction.

You can take a look at the image below, and be sure to let us know what you’re looking forward to most in the film. The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters May 1, 2015.

Geekscape 325: Ian Kerner Breaks Down ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’!

by Jonathan

It’s time! Captain America: The Winter Soldier has arrived so it’s time for Ian Kerner to tell us everything there is to know about both the movie and the comic book origins! Is this the strongest Marvel movie yet? How faithful did they stick to the source material and where might things go from here? And do the events of the film mean you should go back to watching Agents of SHIELD? And can Ian convince me that all of the monologuing in the movie is justified? Just know one thing… THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Concept Art Offers First Look At Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: During tonight’s airing of the Marvel Studios: Assembling A Universe documentary (which I haven’t had a chance to watch yet, but heard was awesome), Marvel debuted a few stills of concept art from next year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, including our first looks at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

Quicksilver is a stark (and welcome) difference from the version that Evan Peters will play in X-Men: Days of Future Past, and it’s great to finally see what Elizabeth Olsen will look like in the film (though it doesn’t exactly look like a final costume, does it).

You can take a look at the stills below (including a few extras, check out Iron Man’s Hulkbuster armour), and be sure to let us know which Quicksilver you prefer! Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theatres on May 1st, 2015.

Paul Bettany Is The Vision In ‘The Avengers: Age Of Ultron’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Just when you thought the cast of The Avengers: Age of Ultron couldn’t get any bigger (it’s already added Aaron Taylor-Johnson Elizabeth Olsen, and James Spader, among others), it again grows by one more.

No stranger to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (he has been the voice of JARVIS since the first Iron Man film), Paul Bettany has joined the film and will portray The Vision.

Does this mean that we’ll see James Spader’s Ultron create The Vision in the film? Or will that have already occurred? Maybe Whedon is ignoring that facet of the story altogether? In any case, we’ll be sure to update you as we learn more.

What do you think of the news? Is there anyone else you’d rather have seen in the role? Let us know!

Samuel Jackson Confirms Elizabeth Olsen In ‘The Avengers: Age Of Ultron’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This one’s been rumoured since back in August, but that rumour has just been confirmed.

Elizbeth Olsen is Scarlet Witch in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Jackson touched on Age of Ultron, and ultimately broke the news about the casting, stating that ”I know we’re shooting in London, that James Spader is Ultron and going to be the bad guy, and that we added Ms. [Elizabeth] Olsen [who will play the Scarlet Witch], but I don’t know what she’s doing, if she’s on the inside or the outside. I haven’t seen a script.”

Jackson also states that filming on Age of Ultron won’t start until March of 2014.

Are you looking forward to seeing Olsen in the role? She’s been pretty fantastic in everything that I’ve seen her in! Is there anyone else you’d rather have seen play Scarlet Witch? Sound out below!
