If you're looking to go into "Avengers: Age of Ultron" totally unspoiled, it's best you turn away now.
But if you're slowly losing your mind in anticipation of "Age of Ultron," and you wouldn't mind spoiling the opening sequence (just the opening sequence, we swear) to quell the urges... well, continue reading.
Movieweb has a full description of the opening "Age of Ultron" scene, complete with quotes of the film's dialogue, the action sequence and even the jokes. They're describing it as a James Bond-style action sequence where the Avengers attack the fortress of Baron Von Strucker (seen in the post-credits sequence of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier,"), a HYDRA leader with Loki's scepter in his control.
Read below for the full description of the scene.
"As Stark is flying the ship, [Robert] Downey Jr. goes and sits in the pilot's seat. [Jeremy] Renner lies down on a table in the middle of the jet and clutches his stomach while a fake drip is attached to his arm. It's clear that, whatever went down at von Strucker's, it has left the Avengers' ace archer in considerable distress.
As the dialogue plays out, it becomes clear that [Mark Ruffalo's] Bruce Banner has Hulked out, or what he calls a "code green," during the assault on Strucker's fortress, and is deeply troubled by it. [Scarlett Johansson's] Natasha tries to reassure him - 'If you hadn't been there, there would have been double the casualties.' Banner grimaces, and replies with, 'You know, sometimes exactly what I want to hear isn't exactly what I want to hear.'
Seeking back-up, Natasha turns to [Chris Hemsworth's] Norse god. 'Thor, report on the Hulk?' she asks. Hemsworth immediately lights up and lets rip with a rousing tribute to all the violence unleashed by the Hulk, filled with words like 'screams' and 'victims' and 'whimpering.' Seeing that it has the opposite effect to that intended on Banner, the God of Thunder turns God of Blunder, stammering and stumbling, digging himself deeper into a hole."
Screen Rant notes that this sequence may set up two major storylines for the film- Bruce Banner's struggle to control the Hulk (even though the end of "The Avengers" made it seem like he was perfectly in control), and Banner's growing relationship with Black Widow. The two have long been rumored to start a romantic relationship in the film.
There's one more "Age of Ultron" rumor circulating online- that the Grey Hulk may make an appearance. The Grey Hulk, for those unaware, is a version of the Hulk who's more intelligent than "HULK SMASH"- and more devious, too. Also, he's got grey skin, which should be obvious.
The rumor started from a Hot Topic "Age of Ultron" toy line that included the grey Savage Hulk. It might be real- or it could be one of a thousand other rumors that are just people overthinking things. File that one away in the "maybe" pile as the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" rumors continue.
