Inspired by Rick Remender’s “recalibration of the moral compass” of our favorite icons in the upcoming event here are mighty Marvel heroes who went from villain to hero.

Two more pieces of the Ultron vs. Avengers battle revealed. Fans at San Diego Comic Con keep getting first looks at character posters for Avengers: Age of Ultron.

 

Today is a triple shot (of sorts) as we see Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) in battle against the army of Ultrons. The only Avenger left is Hulk who we caught a glimpse of in the Black Widow poster.

 

In the Quicksilver concept art you can see what might be the Vision flying above the war zone. Paul Bettany (voice of Jarvis in Iron Man) will portray the android. The look of the Vision is a concept to watch especially after yesterday’s announcement that the Vision will return and be redesigned for Avengers: Rage of Ultron graphic novel coming next year before the movie.

“I’m having a blast with Ultron. He’s not a creature of logic — he’s a robot who’s genuinely disturbed. We’re finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is,” the director says in an upcoming 300th issue of Empire Magazine.

 

Ultron (played by James Spader) is just one of the villains the Avengers will take on in the sequel. Continue reading JOSS WHEDON On AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Villains

I think the opportunity to assemble—sorry—a new team is like another chance to get it right, another chance to be a force for good in the world. It’s like that Continue reading A New Kind of AVENGERS
