This is just a theory:

 

Joss Whedon will pit Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against what some consider their greatest enemy (he gets my vote!) in 2015.

 

Marvel announced that the sequel to Earth’s Biggest Moneymaker will be Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

Whedon said the new film will not be based on the recent Age of Ultron storyline by Brian Michael Bendis and will not follow the same comic book origins. Founding Avenger, original Ant-Man and Ultron creator Hank Pym will not appear in the sequel. (See it here on Marvel.com.)

 

Which ignites at least two big burning questions: Continue reading Who Will Play Ultron in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON (Strictly Theory)

A comic book summer blockbuster is on the way. This big-screen epic is actual a big-page exploding at your local comic book shop! Marvel shared a new trailer for INFINITY!

The six-part series by Jonathan Hickman, Jim Cheung, Jerome Opena and Dustin Weaver begins in August. Here’s how Marvel describes the story:

“Earth has been marked as an “Avengers World”, protected by Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and more from the deadliest threats facing humanity. A powerful and destructive race is on a collision course with Earth and the only thing in their path is the Avengers! But even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes realize the one hope of defeating this dire threat is to unite every great hero across the cosmos…because only with a united Avengers Universe is there any chance of survival!

With our heroes at the other end of the universe, who is left to protect Earth? Enter Thanos, the galaxy’s most ruthless threat and an unparalleled force of brutality who brings order to the chaos of life through murder. The greatest threat to the Mad Titan’s work—and perhaps the universe’s greatest hope—is something he created leaving no world safe. Earth’s last hope may lie in the hands of a man who can level cities with a single whisper – Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans. But can the fearsome leader of a race hated and feared by his world, lead his people against Thanos? If they fall, so does the Earth—and the entire universe with it.”
