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. Joss Whedon had a monumental task on his hands assembling the numerous components in Age of Ultron, but even his detractors have a lot of positive things to say about the movie. With so much happening at once though, it's easy to miss certain aspects of the film the first time round, making Age of Ultron one of the most re-watchable Marvel movies yet.

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.

3) Scarlet Witch Owning It

The Scarlet Witch is a pivotal character in the comics, so there was a lot of speculation about her portrayal in Avengers: Age of Ultron prior to the film’s release. Elizabeth Olsen had proven herself to be a capable actress in smaller productions such as Martha Marcy May Marlene, but aside from Godzilla, the young performer had little experience in blockbuster roles.

Although the Scarlet Witch is an intriguing character from her first appearance in the film’s opening scene, she exists initially as a living weapon, one that is controlled and manipulated by those around her. Soon after she escapes Baron von Strucker’s confinement, the Scarlet Witch is immediately enlisted to fight the Avengers on Ultron’s behalf. Eventually, Captain America helps advise Wanda on how to use her abilities to protect others, but it’s not until Hawkeye tells her straight what the deal is that the Scarlet Witch finally becomes the kickass Avenger fans know and love.

Upon emerging from her hiding spot, the Scarlet Witch throws hex bolts left, right and centre, not even bothering to look at her targets in that ridiculously unrealistic, but badass way all the best action heroes do. By the film’s end, it becomes clear that the Scarlet Witch could in fact be the most powerful Avenger of all.
