Avengers 2: Costume And Tech Upgrades

It seems as though several characters in Joss Whedon's superhero team up sequel "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" are getting some major costume changes.

A scooper for JoBlo has revealed some potential plot details for the film in the process.

The sequel DOES NOT follow the Age of Ultron comics storyline--in which the big bad Ultron was created by Hank Pym who becomes Ant-Man. James Spader will both voice Ultron, and he'll have to do some kind of motion-capture as well--This news puts to rest the most popular theory suggesting that Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr,) robot butler J.A.R.V.I.S. (voiced by Paul Bettany) operating system from the Iron Man Films would turn into the villain.

Marvel vets RDJ, Chris Evans Chris Hemsworth Scarlett Johansson Samuel L. Jackson Jeremy Renner Mark Ruffalo, Clark Gregg and Cobie Smulders are all expected back Two time Iron Man co-star Don Cheadle is involved this time out according to USA Today. Bettany will appear on screen as The Vision an android created by Ultron as a weapon to be used against the Avengers. Vision can fire beams of radiation and turn invisible--the character ultimately turned the tables on Ultron and became an Avengers member himself.

TV's Hulk Lou Ferrigno has confirmed that he'll return to do the voice of the big guy in the sequel. Ferrigno has said four words as the character so far - "Hulk Smash" in 2008's "The Incredible Hulk" and "Puny God" in "The Avengers".

Thomas Kretschmann has landed the role of 2nd bad guy Baron von Strucker. In the comics, the seemingly immortal Strucker is one of the leaders of Hydra, and an enemy of both S.H.I.E.L.D and The Avengers He seemingly beat out rumored candidates Marton Csokas and Dougray Scott who were being considered for the BvS role. The character will have Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and her twin brother Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) apparently working for him in the sequel (American Horror Story favorite Evan Peters plays a different incarnation of the speedy superhero in Bryan Singer's "X-Men: Days of Future Past"--that film hits screens May 23rd 2014.). Korean actress  will play a bad gal role.


 And now those plot details--POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD

Ultron will appear in three different states due to his need to constantly upgrade. There's an original rudimentary state coated in Vibranium, and the character's main aim is to seek out more of the raw material to continue 'upgrades'. Spader is reportedly doing mo-cap for at least one iteration of the character, meaning that Ultron will be "much more than just a helmet at some point."

With "S.H.I.E.L.D." effectively dissolved, Stark Tower has been renamed 'Avengers Tower'. Stark is now funding the team--There's new tech, new costumes, and a new Quinjet. He's also created an army of Iron Man 'drones' to help keep the peace.

Each member of the Avengers will sport an Avengers logo on their costumes, Black Widow will have two taser batons, Hawkeye gets a long sleeve jacket, Hulk will wear "stretchy pants" that can adjust to Bruce's size changes.

A key battle near the opening of the film takes place in a forested area and will be where we see our first "hero shot" of the team together. This could be a part of the confrontation with Baron Von Strucker and the first encounter with Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch.

Finally, Bettany's Vision character won't show up until the third act, and Cheadle's War Machine/Iron Patriot is expected to cameo

END POTENTIAL SPOILERS

Radar Online has an unidentified source that claims that RDJ is campaigning to get his pals Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster a role in the movie.

Some non principal filming took place in South Africa Production on the 'Avengers' sequel continues to meet a release date of May 1, 2015.
