Avengers: Age of Ultron gave fans a globe-trotting, action-packed epic with new revelations about fan favorites, new characters and exciting possibilities for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Before we share our top burning questions here’s a SPOILER ALERT just in case…
If you have not seen Avengers: Age of Ultron yet stop reading now.
Here it comes.
Fear of Ragnarok? When Scarlet Witch played with Thor’s mind he envisioned what might be called Asgardian Hell. Chris Hemsworth will play the Odinson in Thor: Ragnarok. The next film’s ominous title is based on the Twilight of the Gods and Fall of Asgard in Norse legend. Was this a vision of Thor’s cinematic future? Can the Odinson prevent Ragnarok only to have it fall before Thanos in The Infinity War?
Secrets of Wakanda? There were so many hints. I thought sure we’d see an Easter Egg or a blatant cameo from Black Panther. When the Avengers confronted Ulysses Klaw and Ultron over stolen vibranium, they said how Klaw was one of the rare men to get out of the mysterious country alive. We know someone from S.S.R. or U.S. government got in and out of the African nation with enough vibranium to make Captain America’s shield in World War II. As for Klaw, Ultron ripped off his arm. In the comics this mercenary has a bionic arm with a sonic weapon. Who will turned Klaw into a cyborg in time for the Black Panther movie? AIM, Hydra, SHIELD?
Scarlet Witch and Vision? Wanda was able to sense something human inside the Vision’s “cradle” and there appeared to be a connection between the “enhanced” and the android by the finale. In the comics Wanda and Vision were married so did Joss Whedon set the stage for a love match in upcoming films?
Hulk Go Where? The chemistry between Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson was undeniable but love between Bruce Banner and Black Widow was denied as Banner took off to parts unknown. Will Ruffalo appear in Captain America: Civil War? In the comics version of the story, the Hulk’s rampage in Las Vegas was one of the superhero-involved tragedies that led to the government passing the Superhero Registration Act and the Steve Rogers/Tony Stark split. Iron Man led the secret Illuminati that rocketed the Hulk into space and the epic Planet Hulk storyline, followed by World War Hulk, when the Green Goliath came back home for revenge. Hulk’s exit leaves for a romance between Natasha and Bucky which brings us to….
The Cold Case of Winter Soldier? Falcon was called in the Avengers Tower after no luck on a “cold case” that was the search for Bucky Barnes. Sebastian Stan is likely to return for the next Cap movie especially if it follows the comics canon.
Captain America in love and war? Thanks to the mind warping powers of Scarlet Witch fans got to see Peggy Carter again if only in Steve’s vision of lost love and what might have been but will never be. We’ll accept any creative decision that gives Hayley Atwell more screen time. It’s likely Steve is still a virgin but will he fall in love and well…you know…before the finale of Captain America: Civil War? Steve may get together with Agent 13 (Emily VanCamp) or as we’ve speculated…Peggy Carter? With the popularity of Atwell and Agent Carter, we’ll accept a time travel twist that brings Peggy to the present and into the arms of Steve for the long overdue dance!
Thanos & The Gauntlet!? The search for the Infinity Gems has been a long running story in the Marvel movies and is building up to Avengers: The Infinity War I, II. Thanos is the Mad God of Titan behind Loki and the Chitauri’s invasion in The Avengers and Ronan the Accuser’s rampage in Guardians of the Galaxy. We’ve seen a gem in Guardians (now in Nova Prime’s safe keeping) and now a gem in bonded into the Vision’s forehead. When all the gems are assembled on the mystical Gauntlet it will grant ultimate power. The Gauntlet was last seen in Odin’s vault in Thor. Loki was last scene impersonating Odin in Thor: The Dark World. How did Thanos seize the Gauntlet? Did Loki turn it over? Is this a sign Tom Hiddleston will return as the Trickster in Ragnarok or The Infinity War?
