Thanks to all of those handy names at the top of this brand new poster for Avengers: Age of Ultron, as well as nonstop casting news and that whole Comic-Con thing, we know that all of the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are back to defend us on May 1. We also obviously know that James Spader’s menacing growl will be used by the titular villain, and despite not being important enough for the top of the poster, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Paul Bettany have also joined the team for this instant box office blockbuster. Again, thanks to all of the news and rumors, we already knew this.
Still, a poster feels a lot more official than months and months of speculation, so we now also know for sure that Anthony Mackie appears in Ultron as the Falcon, Idris Elba shows up as Heimdall, and Hayley Atwell stops by as Agent Peggy Carter (probably the young version in a flashback, but maybe old Peggy feels like kicking some robot ass). Also returning with the main heroes from Marvel’s The Avengers are Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill and Stellan Skarsgård as Dr. Erik Selvig. Hopefully, he behaves himself a little better this time.
Oh… It just got real! This poster is definitely going on the wall!!! Sam Wilson is back baby.@Avengers #CUTTHECHECK pic.twitter.com/768d8j0Buw
