At this point, what more can we really say about Marvel's hugely-anticipated sequel? We've been inundated with marketing material over the last several months and it seems like almost the entire world is waiting with baited breath to see what the studio has cooked up here. Simply put, Avengers: Age of Ultron is a sequel to one of the biggest movies of all-time and a hugely important film for Marvel, the comic book movie genre and cinema as a whole. Whatever you do, don't miss this one.

10 Moments From Avengers: Age Of Ultron That You’ll Watch Again And Again

Regardless of whether you actually like Avengers: Age of Ultron or not, the film was always going to be Marvel's crowning achievement thus far, building upon the phenomenal success of the first Avengers film.

No matter how great it may seem, some actors just don’t want to commit to an ongoing superhero role past their initial contract, despite the fame it brings… and the popularity… and the gazillions of dollars they make.

While it may seem that performers who drop out of these billion dollar franchises have suffered some kind of brain disorder, it also makes sense for the lineup of superhero teams to change over time, reflecting developments in the comics. Even Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have to retire eventually, so it came as no surprise at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron when Captain America was forced to assemble a new team after half of the founding members went AWOL.
