The first teaser trailer and poster for Joss Whedon's sequel "Avengers: Age of Ultron" have been released. The new installment will pit the Avengers against a new foe, the artificially intelligent Ultron (James Spader), a robot created by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in an attempt to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program that has now become a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. The trailer effectively sets the mood for what is going to be a seemingly dark movie and I must say that Ultron appears to be an intriguing villain. The film also stars Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Andy Serkis, Don Cheadle, Cobie Smulders and Paul Bettany.
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" opens in theaters on May 1, 2015.
