Previous Avengers: Age Of Ultron teasers, trailers, and clips have hyped up the pain, the drama, the battles, the house parties, the drama, the potential romances, the Pinocchio connection, the Hulkbuster, and still more drama. Oh, and the Ultron. But none of our earlier looks at the upcoming superhero sequel have focused so precisely on Ultron (voiced by James Spader) and his ideas, motivations, and plans. Hey, there’s a new trailer for that!
Billed as the final full trailer for the Marvel property, this new look at Avengers: Age Of Ultron takes us inside Ultron’s mind—sans Pinocchio jams, thank goodness—and lays out his plan for world eradication. It also lets us inside Tony Stark’s psyche, which appears to be pretty damaged by the realization that he created the menace that’s not only going after the world, but the Avengers themselves, a heavy weight for even Iron Man to handle. And, oh, what a weight it’s going to be, because it’s not just the world at stake—isn’t it always the world at stake?—but the Avengers themselves, which already looks to be lending itself to some major philosophical shakeups (and perhaps some serious in-fighting).
Oh, and some weirdo twins are here, too. You might know them.

Looks like a lot of people are going to get smacked in the face this time around, but what if, just what if, this one also smacks us in the heart? What is to become of the Avengers if (and that is a big if) they survive this one? (Well, probably Avengers: Infinity War, but shhhh...)
