About 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.

hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two
mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro
Maximoff, played by Aaron
Taylor-Johnson, and Wanda
Maximoff, played by Elizabeth
Olsen and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
Written and directed by Joss
