New Marvel Promo Art for Avengers Age of Ultron and Ant-Man

A new leak of information has provided us with some possible answers for the origins of Ultron and The Vision. Needless to say, POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD.

Now then, what we learn in the first two images are the origins of Ultron and Vision. It seems Ultron will be based on Chitauri technology. This apparent hold over from the invasion is then experimented on by Tony which gives Ultron his sentience.

Vision it seems is created by both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner to combat the technological advancement of Ultron. Up until this point rumors would alternate between which of the Science Bros actually create Vision.

While these do look official, they are still as of yet unofficial. I think we can safely bet that they are still true. The only reason I bring up their unofficial status is the upcoming Ant-Man film. Ant-Man in the comics is the original creator of Ultron. Most rumors and fan whispers point to this still happening in the movies. This would make Ant-Man largely a flashback, which has also been rumored.

In the scenic city of San Francisco, California, one of Marvel’s next big super hero franchises has just started principal photography.a “Ant-Man” brings one of Marvel comics’ original founding members of The Avengers into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The production has also scheduled on location in Atlanta, Georgia, which serves as the base for the film’s production.

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Marvel’s “Ant-Man” is produced by Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, with Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee serving as executive producers.

Set for release in the United States on July 17, 2015, the film is directed by Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” “The Break-Up”) and stars Paul Rudd (“I Love You Man,” “Role Models”) as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, and Michael Douglas (“Behind The Candelabra,” “Wall Street”) as his mentor Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly (“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Lost”) as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym.

Marvel Sets Movie Schedule Through 2019

marvel-logo

Marvel Studios had decided to go bold by setting dates for its upcoming movies through Spring 2019, which will take them into the start of Phase 4 of the Marvel Universe.

Already on the schedule for upcoming films are Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1, 2014, along with The Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, 2015, and Ant-Man on July 17, 2015.

For 2016, Marvel plans to release Captain America 3. This leaves 1 more movie for 2016, 3 movies for 2017, 2 movies for 2018, and 1 for 2019 (though I’m sure a second will be scheduled for later that year).

So what other films could Marvel plan to release?

Well, The Avengers sequel is coming three years after the first one, which means The Avengers 3 could occupy one of the 2018 dates. Doctor Strange already has a director, so that might get the second 2016 date. Thor 3 is also in the pipeline, so that will probably get one of the 2017 dates, as will a most likely sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel is also said to be developing standalone films around Black Widow and Black Panther. That leaves one slot unaccounted for.

Hopefully we’ll know more once Marvel has its big reveals at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Below is the full slate of Marvel releases scheduled through 2019:

The official release from Marvel reads:

“Marvel and Edgar Wright jointly announced today that the studio and director have parted ways on “Ant-Man” due to differences in their vision of the film. The decision to move on is amicable and does not impact the release date on July 17, 2015. A new director will be announced shortly.”

Dropping news like this, on the eve of a holiday weekend, one can only think the studio wanted the news to not be as noticed, but the fan backlash has already started. Many were excited to see his treatment of the character and are upset he is no longer involved.
