With filming ongoing in the UK for Avengers: Age of Ultron, reports from the set have started giving away a few potential spoilers and plot points from the film. However, the big story has been the big scoop from Latino-Review’s El Mayimbe, where he basically breaks down the first 15-20 minutes of the film.
Basically, Age Of Ultron takes place and opens immediately after the Baron Von Strucker post credit scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The opening set piece and big action scene has The Avengers as a team attack that rogue outpost Hyrda cell run by Baron Von Strucker. He has Loki’s staff, and also possesses Chitauri weaponry. The Avengers are there to basically clean it all up. But that’s not all, Von Strucker also has the corpse of a leviathan!
Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch fight alongside Von Strucker against the Avengers. The Scarlett Witch uses her powers and cast a hex on the Hulk into thinking that the Leviathan is still alive. It’s safe to say some serious Hulk smashing ensues.
Eventually The Avengers win, capture the staff and the bad guys. The team then goes back to Avengers Tower and have one poppin’ party. The whole team takes turns trying to pick up Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. This is their party thing. Rhodey is in this scene by the way. Tony Stark tries to pick up Mjolnir in his Iron Man armor and the arm accidentally falls off the armor. Oops. Captain America can budge it a tad but can’t pick it up! Now they may change this because the canon in the comics is that Cap can pick it up so we will have to wait and see. It will probably freak out hardcore fanboys.
Also, in the party scene at Avengers Tower, we discover that Banner and Black Widow kinda have a thing for each other. Banner is afraid to consummate anything with her for fear of hulking out and hurting her. He doesn’t trust himself.
Sounds like we’ll be hitting the ground running at the beginning of the film. You can check out the full report and spoiler breakdown over at Latino-Review here.
Additional plot points and spoilers that have come from recent filming
- There have been sightings of the core Avengers team, along with Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Mackie, and B.J. Britt (Agent Triplett from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) – There are reports that disprove B.J. Britt being anywhere near filming.

- Thor will check into his battle armor (the one with sleeves) at some point in the film via calling down lightning.
