Sorry, 鈥淢arvel鈥檚 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.鈥澛�
On Oct. 21, Marvel tweeted that a trailer for the upcoming 鈥�Avengers鈥� movie, 鈥淭he Avengers: Age of Ultron,鈥� would debut during the newest episode of 鈥淪.H.I.E.L.D.,鈥� which airs on ABC. Soon, however, the trailer leaked online. Marvel鈥檚 response on Twitter showed good humor.
(In the Marvel universe, Hydra is a villainous organization determined to take over the world. Members include Red Skull, the main antagonist in the 2011 movie 鈥�Captain America: The First Avenger.鈥�)
So soon after, Marvel tweeted out a link to the trailer.
The clip includes a clear look at the villain Ultron (James Spader) as well as a glimpse of twins Quicksilver (actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). In addition, actor Andy Serkis, who is famous for his motion capture work on characters such as Gollum from the 鈥�Lord of the Rings鈥� films and an ape in the new 鈥�Planet of the Apes鈥� films, appears onscreen as himself.
The trailer is backed by an eerie version of the song 鈥淚鈥檝e Got No Strings鈥� from the 1940 Disney animated film 鈥淧inocchio.鈥� (Marvel Entertainment was acquired by Disney in 2009.)聽
Also, as noted by Josh Dickey from the website , what appears to be the armor that goes by the name Hulkbuster is shown in the clip. In the comics, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), also known as Iron Man, created the suit so he would have a way to go up against the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).
鈥淚鈥檓 going to show you something beautiful,鈥� Ultron says in voiceover during the trailer. 鈥淓veryone screaming for mercy. You want to protect the world but you don鈥檛 want it to change. You鈥檙e all puppets, tangled in strings.鈥澛�
Later, Tony says, 鈥淚t鈥檚 the end of the path. The path I started us on.鈥� (According to ,聽Tony is responsible for the creation of Ultron in the movie.)聽
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) says, 鈥淣othing lasts forever.鈥�
Iron Man also appears to take on the Hulk in Tony's Hulkbuster armor near the end of the trailer.聽

鈥淯ltron鈥� hits theaters on May 1.
