Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron Official Synopsis Revealed
Marvel Studios has released an official synopsis for its upcoming feature, Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time.

As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure. Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron will be released in U.S. theaters on May 1, 2015.
