The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron New Official Poster Released

The Avengers: Age of Ultron will hit theaters on May 1, and a new official poster for the movie has been released that indicates the return of a familiar character.

Comic Book Movie has published the poster, which reveals that Anthony Mackie returns as Falcon in the film.

In related news, director Joss Whedon spoke to Empire Online and talked about the need to de-power Ultron a bit for the sake of the movie.

"The powers in comic books – they’re always like, ‘And then I can reverse the polarity of your ions!’ Well, we have to ground things a lot more. With Ultron, we have to make him slightly less omnipotent because he’d win. Bottom line. Also, having weaknesses and needs and foibles and alliances and actually caring what people think of him, all these things, are what make him a character and not just a tidal wave. A movie about a tidal wave can be great, but it’s different than a conflict between one side and the other. When Ultron speaks, he has a point. He is really not on top of the fact that the point he’s making has nothing to do with the fact that he’s banoonoos. And that he hates the Avengers for bringing him into this world, and he can’t really articulate that or even understand how much he hates humanity. He thinks he all that. That guy is very fun to write. He combines all the iconic stuff. The powers he has are slightly different. He can control certain things, he’s not just firing repulsors."
