The Avengers: Age of Ultron junior novel came out today, and as usual it covers the first half an hour of the movie roughly. Obviously, read on for SPOILERS.
Note: The junior novels often differ sligthly from the movie, but not by much, so pretty much all of this will be in the movie.
Here's a rough list of spoilers, feel free to add.
-
The movie dives right into the Strucker fight, with all the 6 main Avengers present.
-
Hawkeye gets shot badly when Quicksilver distracts him.
-
The Avengers call Dr. Cho in to the tower to patch Hawkeye up.
-
Tony retrieves Loki's scepter from Strucker.
-
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch escape from Strucker's cell in the course of the battle.
-
Scarlet Witch touches many of the Avengers, "infecting" them with her mind.
-
The Avengers defeat HYDRA.
-
Back in the tower, Dr. Cho heals Hawkeye.

-

-
