Eisenberg will be a good luthor, though I am questioning Miller based on looks they already have a good flash but they dont want to mesh tv and big screen

First off, I will never get why they think that CYBORG is a worthy JLA member. He is, was, and always will be associated with ONE team, the Titans. Period. They need to cut the cord on this experiment and just insert a John Stewart into the team, then move on.

Secondly, who is Ray Fisher?

Thirdly, a stand-alone Cyborg movie does not make sense. He has never had his own comic, let alone been seen as a big enough player for anyone to relate to him outside of him being a Titan.

I feel like they will mess it up like they did with Steel, although I am sure that Fisher can actually act, as opposed to Shaq. Then again, Ryan Reynolds can act, and Green Lantern was not all the great. I just do not see how they can plan for a picture for a character that is not a lead character, or has any kind of solo career. Feels like a major reach by WB/DC.

Since the comic con footage hasn't leaked from either con, I figured I'd post what I could find as a description of Avengers: Age of Ultron footage shown:


CBR has a new trailer description:

Likewise, the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" clip and full trailer were also seen at SDCC. The first scene opens with a party in Stark tower, where everyone lounges around in plain clothes. Mjolnir is on the table. Stark makes a joke about the hammer: "If I can lift it, can I be king of Asgard?" Thor responds, "Of course." Stark tries to lift the hammer with one hand and fails. He leaves and comes back with the armor on his hand and tries again. Rhodey joins him, wearing his Iron Patriot armor. Clint tries for a brief moment, fails, and starts to laugh a lot the situation. Banner gives it his best shot and pretends to Hulk out when he fails, to much laughter. Finally, Rogers tries and budges the hammer ever so slightly. Thor lifts his eyebrows in surprise. Everyone laughs when even Steve can't do it. They ask Natasha to give it a try, and she says, "That is a question I do not need answered." Suddenly, a dark figure with a glowing blue face limps into the room, intoning, "You cannot lift the hammer because none of you are worthy." The Avengers stand up, assuming a defensive stance. Ultron says something about needing them to go extinct as Stark's armor crashes through the wall.
What followed was a trailer featuring a series of quick cuts, all centered on Ultron's lumbering steps toward a whole tower of destruction. He says, "I have a vision." A single piano note plays over his words and we see a city in trouble, its people abandoning cars and fleeing through the streets. A version of "Pinocchio's" "I've Got No Strings" begins to play over a flurry of action sequences: Scarlet Witch in the middle of a city, her feet among the rubble, screaming at the sky with her fists clenched; Quicksilver launching himself at Hawkeye in slow motion; The Avengers' Quinjet swooping down over a city street and releasing Back Widow from its belly -- she lands effortlessly and takes off down the road; A glimpse of Loki's staff, buried in a crate; Hulkbuster armor revving for action, Hulk blasting through a city street toward it, using a car as a shield against its repulsor beams; Natasha placing her hand on Hulk's fist and looking up into his face; Stark struggling through snow, his armor gone; Ultron turns toward the camera, looking at his open palm, and says, "I've got no strings to hold me down." The title card comes up, with the logo and release date, before showing one last scene: Tony Stark stands in the darkness, looking out over a field of bodies. He looks down at his feet, where he sees Steve's shield in pieces on the ground. The trailer ends.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron Trailer To Air During Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.: A Fractured House | Comicbook.com

If the fact that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been a much better show since the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier wasn’t enough incentive for lapsed viewers to give the show another try, Marvel has just provided another big incentive to tune in next week.

After tonight’s “A Hen in the Wolf House” episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel announced that a trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron will air during next week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The “A Fractured House” episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is set to premiere in movie theaters on May 1, 2015

Ultron is the best of the villains IMO. His arch is so great. I like that they are getting mutants involved too.

I also saw a quick scene from Antman. Its got really good possibilities.

They just can't call them mutants in the MCU since Fox owns the X-Men. I believe they referred to them as miracles in the Cap 2 credit scene.

Yes. How f'ed up is it that Marvel managed not to secure the rights to "mutants."

When Marvel sold those rights, they were borderline bankrupt and had no plans of ever making movies of their own. It was smart business at the time until comic book movies blew up and Disney bought them.

Marvel gave in last night. Check their Youtube channel for official trailer in HD. They had been fighting it and shutting it down where they found it, but it kept popping up. They even had a tweet that was, "Dammit, Hydra!"

Actually, it used to be worse. Blade, Ghost Rider, Daredevil and Elektra have all reverted rights back to Marvel. Fox has Fantastic Four rights, Sony has Spider-Man, and I forget who has X-Men. Marvel has tried to negotiate with these studios but they don't want to give up their rights. Sony has continued negotiating and may strike a deal to let Marvel use him sometimes. Because the negotiations failed miserably for X-Men and FF, their comic book universes have been affected now.

I can make this a different thread if we want to keep this to news but...

Would you want to live in a "comic book" world? In other words, would you want there to be super villains and super heroes battling it out & wreaking havoc to our infrastructure and causing a lot of civilian deaths?

Would your ideal fantasy universe be more of a Batman (majority of villains don't have supernatural "powers") or straight up Thor universe where everything is from another planet with crazy superpowers?

Hell to the NO!

If you aren't a superhero, the bad guys are always creating destruction and taking lives. You are always rebuilding and worried for your safety and that of your family.

If you are a superhero, the bad guys just keep coming, and there are new ones from time to time, and the old ones come back againand again and even when you win you get beat to crap.

If you are a bad guy, you generally live in hiding from the heroes, constant greed and envy and such like. Usually lose to the heroes and get the snot beat out of you.

If you are a bad guy's minion, don't even try to get life or health insurance as the actuaries will just laugh at you and your lifespan.

FF was in such bad shape comics wise shutting it down really isnt going to effect Marvel. You would think Marvel would be able to at least get to use the word mutant by threatening to do the same thing to X-men that they are doing to FF. Unless they really are going to scale back the xmen books after Wolverines death.

Fox has X-Men. In a way I'm kind of glad Marvel doesn't. If they owned X-Men there's no way a Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant Man film would have ever seen the light of day.

They're already doing the same to X-Men in a way, not with comics but with toys. Next time you're in Target or Toys R Us, look and see how little X-Men toys there are compared to Spider Man. Even though Marvel doesn't own Spider Man either, their relationship with Sony is much stronger than their relationship with Fox.
