UK AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Blu-Ray And DVD Covers Cause Controversy

Avengers Assemble as it was known on this side of the pond left fans fuming when it failed to include Joss Whedon's Director's Commentary. However, the UK edition of Avengers: Age of Ultron is causing controversy for a whole other reason, and it's this time due to the cover art...

Understandably, a lot of fans aren't happy with the lack of Black Widow merchandise which was made available for Avengers: Age of Ultron (even Mark Ruffalo weighed in on the notable lack of Marvel products aimed at girls). Now, the UK DVD and Blu-ray 3D cover has stirred up some controversy due to the fact that they focus on Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk, and none of the sequel's female characters. The regular Blu-ray cover does include Black Widow, but there's no sign of Maria Hill or Scarlet Witch which has upset some. So, what do you think? A big deal or fuss over nothing? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the usual place...

Well..atleast it isn't another article about your love fest for the fantastic failure. That cow's milk done dried up finally?!
Btw so where is the controversy? Please tell me it's not because Black Widow isn't on the cover. For that matter neither is Hawkeye,or Vision,or you get the idea.

Awesome! now if only we could remove her from the movie because she's a [frick]ing boring, pointless character...

Neither is Hawkeye. It's due to them both being secondary Avengers, along with (probably) Hulk, except he's so big it looks cool on a cover. There is an obvious "Big 3" to the Avengers.

When I think Avengers I immediately picture Iron Man, Cap, Thor and Hulk

No one gives a fvck about Widow or Hawkeye

Actually it would be nice of every Avenger was on the cover. Kinda like a great comic book cover.

Just a coincidence that the "big four" are all white guys, I guess.

... or three white guys and an occasionally green guy... you know what I mean...

Black Panther and Captain Marvel can't come soon enough.

Terrible poster in general though. I was really hopping that would change for the home release.

50% of the caharcters are cut from the UK Version, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, and Vision are missing as well. Stop being overly sensitive world.

So! They only had the big 4 on the first dvd release in the uk. I dont remember anyone complianing then. But i dont see why they didnt include the whole team on the cover in the first place.

I can understand omitting Maria Hill, but Scarlet Witch?

People just love to complain just to get attention. Kids. Did they also complain when Marvel released their 75th anniversary logo and it featured no female?

Didn't know Widow was a "secondary avenger", you know cuz shes one of two avengers to stay an avenger....

You know what, be pissed off that people are pissed off. Any criticism of marvel isnt warranted anyway

@FrozenDiamondz "No one gives a fvck about Widow or Hawkeye" Okay but you're wrong :)

It's not a good cover at all and I would prefer all of the Avengers which includes Black Widow, Hawkeye as well as Vision, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

Why the [frick] does Maria "Only in the movie for 5 minutes" Hill have to be on the cover?

Hell, I'm a massive Hawkeye fan (as he's my favorite Avenger) and I'm throwing no fits over him not being on the cover.

I can understand the outrage.

After all a majority of Marvel Studios fans are Tumblr users and Tumblr is full of SJW who are still outraged over Killing Joke.
