Three Avengers: Age of Ultron Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes Released

Cineplex Movies have released a trio of behind-the-scenes featurettes for Avengers: Age of Ultron on their YouTube page, including a curated look behind the curtain with director Joss Whedon and actor Jeremy Renner.

We get a bit of the film's philosophy -- whcih is mostly what we've heard before, with the diversity of the team and the breadth of stories you can tell with them, paired with Whedon's enthusiasm for putting them together now and not having to re-introduce and re-establish all the characters and relationships.

And then we get, among other things, a peek at a cool, new weapon in Hawkeye's arsenal -- one which speed loads a half a dozen arrows for group combat.

Check them out below.

Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. 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 stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series The Avengers, first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, 2015.
