Minor Mutations
Flashback:Avengers: Age of Ultron(2015)
The sequel toThe Avengerscame to us in 2015, with more Avengers introduced like The Vision, Scarlet Witch, War Machine and The Falcon; and for a few minutes Quicksilver. We had the return of the original Avengers that include Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye; with Nick Fury and Maria Hill back as well. We had the introduction to several new villains like Ulysses Klaue - with the debut of the big bad in Ultron; voiced with an ominous yet silky evil voice by James Spader. This movie was written and directed by super-talent Joss Whedon, who made the firstAvengersfilm, as well as many incredible tv series likeBuffy the Vampire Slayer,Angel, andFirefly. This movie was big, dense, and chock full of action. It moved lots of plot points forward for the bigger phase coming to us withInfinity Warand Thanos. This movie develops the story of whether the Avengers should be in control of the safety of the world that mirrors and helps shapeCivil War.
