This week gave us the biggest trailer of the past few weeks: the final trailer for The Avengers: Age of Ultron! It was much more character driven than the previous trailers and sheds some light onto the origins of Ultron. May 1st cannot get here fast enough. I’m afraid that I may be getting my expectations too high, but with Joss Whedon at the helm and based on what I’ve seen and read so far, I don’t think I will leave the theater disappointed. Anyway, about the rest of this TRU, Sherlock Holmes solves one last case, Ben Kingsley tries to live forever, Owen Wilson just wants him and his family to live, and John Travolta must perform one last heist so his family lives. To jump to a specific trailer, click on it’s link below.
