Hero Blend #39: Answers To 10 Avengers 2 Questions You Had About The Trailer

Here on Hero Blend we have spent a ton of time talking about our intense anticipation for the upcoming The Avengers: Age of Ultron, but this week has seen that level of anticipation skyrocket even higher. Judging by the debut trailer Joss Whedon’s 2015 blockbuster looks like it is going to completely shake up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it’s going to send thousands of chills down your spine while doing so. Guys: There are no strings on Ultron. This is the time to panic!

As the first widely released footage from Avengers 2, the trailer gave us some tremendous insights as to what we can expect from the film – including Hulkbuster fights, scary flying robots and maybe even a few hints at Black Panther – but it also left us dying to know more about both the film, where it will be leading the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how it will exist within the growing comic book movie genre. Fortunately, we have all that covered this week.

Joining me for another session of "Mack Asks," Cinema Blend’s own Mack Rawden is my guest on Hero Blend this week, and he’s used his complete lack of knowledge about comic books on the whole to fuel a very interesting discussion about The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The time for reading is over, and the time for watching has begun – hit the play button above, and watch the Avengers 2 trailer again in the embed below!

The Avengers: Age of Ultron will be in theaters on May 1, 2015.
