'Avengers: Age of Ultron': Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Hawkeye, and Ultron Hot PHOTOS

'Avengers: Age of Ultron': Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Hawkeye, and Ultron Hot PHOTOS


There is a Cold War brewing between Hollywood’s two major Marvel franchises: Which Quicksilver is the best Quicksilver? Will it be the Quicksilver of X-Men: Days of Future Past, with his insouciant goggles? Or will it be the Quicksilver of Avengers: Age of Ultron, which, based on the concept art, would be 100 percent less goggle-y? The war heated up Monday with the release of a Future Past trailer that confirmed that Evan Peters’ Quicksilver is a Pink Floyd fan.

Now, pictures from the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron have just appeared, showing Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver alongside Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch — not to mention the returning Jeremy Renner (woohoo, Hawkeye!) and a robot-like character who could very well be that Ultron fellow everyone’s talking about. Let’s take a look and pass immediate cruel judgment upon their costume choices!



Olson’s Scarlet Witch looks pretty cool, rocking a cool red jacket, a black dress, and some cosplay-ready wrist-wear and shin-wear. Notably, she does not have red hair like the comic book incarnation — which is probably a good thing, since there’s only room for one faux-ginger on this superteam, missy! Likelihood That This Will Be A Popular Comic-Con Costume: 9 out of 10


And here’s her bro Quicksilver, rocking some nifty blue-white running gear. Like the Future Past speedster, this Quicksilver has some wild hair, although it looks more “Surfer-Bro Bleached Bedhead” than Peters’ “Targaryen Half-Sibling” long hair. These clothes also look a bit more functional. Like, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen guys wearing that shirt at the gym. Likelihood That This Will Be A Popular Comic-Con Costume: 8 out of 10


And then there’s this borg’d-out figure, shown here in a stance that seems to say, “I just entered the scene by dramatically jumping from a high place, and now I’m going to fight me some superheroes.” Is this Ultron? Marvel has said that James Spader will play the villain via performance capture — it could be that this is just an on-set double, something for Jeremy Renner to fire arrows at. Still, what little we can see here looks cool, in a Terminator-meets-Guyver way. Of course, it’s all gonna be about the face. Likelihood That This Will Be A Popular Comic-Con Costume: TBD. Probably high. This is Avengers 2, after all.

'Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron' Set to Release in 2015, Filming Photos Revealed

The second instalment of the "Avengers" began filming and photos on the set are revealed online. The upcoming Marvel superhero film is entitled "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and is expected to release in the summer of 2015.

The crew of the "Avengers 2" went to the Italian city of Aosta to film scenes of the movie. Photographers were able to capture photos of Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver), and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) in their action stunts. The photos also gave the online audiences a sneak peak on how the cyborg villain Ultron, played by James Spader, would look in costume.

The eleventh instalment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is receiving plenty of following with interconnected stories of Marvel superheroes played by Hollywood A-listers. Interestingly, the "Avengers 2" movie and the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" will have a character comparison with the Quicksilver role to be played by different stars. The "Avengers" casts Aaron Taylor-Johnson while "X-Men" roots for Evan Peters. 

New Characters, New Foe for the "Avengers 2"

Photos taken during the Italy filming fired up the excitement of the fans with new characters to add on the original Avengers cast. Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson will play mutant twin Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver joining Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr. Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, and Chris Evans in the 2015 film.

After the "Avengers" beat Loki in the first movie, "Avengers 2" will have the superheroes reassembled to fight the robot Ultron who aims to take over the Earth. Director Joss Whedon reportedly considered James Spader as the lone choice for Ultron's role because of actor's "hypnotic and compelling voice."

"Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron" is expected to be another blockbuster following its $1.5 billion worldwide gross in 2012, cementing its position as the third top-grossing film after "Titanic" and "Avatar". With the biggest starts at the helm, exceeding the sales of the 2012 prequel may not be impossible for "Avengers 2."

For fans who cannot wait for the second instalment to be released in theatres, "Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron" filming started February 2014 in different countries including South Africa, England, Italy, and South Korea. According to the online movie database IMDb, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" will hit US cinemas in May 1, 2015.
