Road To INFINITY WAR: Rare AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Concept Art Reveals Alternate Costumes For The Team

Those Witch outfits are cool

Quicksilver..... please bring him back. It was such a waste to kill him off so quickly 🙄

The Scarlet Witch one with the headband is so much better than what we got in the movie.
Otherwise, everyone looked great in AoU, especially Captain America.

The Cap suit is so well done. I think The Russos really perfected it with dialing some of excessive red back a bit in Civil War.

I hope Wanda gets a more witchy costume (and the headband) in the future, maybe Doctor Strange II?

Quicksilver looks better without beard and short hair

Yep, I like those Scarlet Witch concepts, especially the ones that made her look more like a sorceress. And Black Widow would've looked great with the glowing red imo.

Just re-watched Winter Soldier this morning. What a BEAUTY!

While the Scarlet Witch’s outfits haven’t been bad, they have been less than inspired. That being said, this is one time but I don’t think they should go comic accurate. She doesn’t need to wear a bathing suit and Kirby sure made some weird headpieces back in his day. I like the first one on the right the best, but I just enlarged the pics and noticed the headpiece on the last one. It’s a nice homage without looking ridiculous.

This is gonna be hard for me to say because I’m the biggest Joss Whedon fan. Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Serenity were my obsessions growing up. I still think they’re incredible.

But his choices for costumes in the Avengers films were often terrible. His Loki costume was fantastic, loved the piratey vibes (though the horns could have been better executed). And Iron Man’s suit in the final battle was one of his best. He gets credit for those.

But Cap in the first Avengers wore one of the most ridiculous costumes ever put to film. He looks so silly and out of place, like he’s running around in dorky cosplay pajamas whilst everyone else is in a blockbuster. What was he thinking?? And the scene where Cap is suited down on the Hellicarrier and he’s just got pants and a shirt and those giant red boots. He looked like he was wearing stripper heels. It was so strange... don’t understand how choices like those get put on film? Surely someone looks at it and goes we can do better?

Hawkeye was okay but far from as great as he could have looked. Hell a simple purple T shirt with a cool jacket could have looked more iconic than the generic vest thing they gave him.

I’m consistently amazed that they never give Black Widow a better look, the black cat suit is so non-distinct. Throwing on some defining bits and pieces like the gold wristband things, whatever they’re for, would go a long way to giving her a more recognizable and iconic look.

But the biggest costume letdowns were Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Ultron. The choices baffle me. I mean all the silly eccentricites of Cap’s outfit and they can’t give Quicksilver a blue shirt with a big bold lightning bolt on it? It wouldn’t look cheesy (unlike a lot of the costumes) and it would be easy, bold, recognisable and iconic. But they gave him some wierd i distinct Nike looking thing? I just don’t get that.

Scarlet witch looked alright, but how much more would she have looked like Scarlet Witch with the head thing? That’s her visual defining feature. The rest is generic and found on a lot of comic heroes. But you see that head thing and you know it’s her. And it looks great in that concept art so why not? And its use is easily explained away... helps control her power, whatever. Why leave it out? Is it laziness?

And Ultron... man. Almost all of the concept art is incredible, and they went with one of the very few lame, silly designs. He looks so great in the frankensteinish suit and even the sentry things look okay (looked better in a lot of the art designs though...) but he can’t be taken seriously through the rest. And James Spader’s voice is so descriptive and rich on its own, and his motion acting. They didn’t need the expressions. That’s proven by the effectiveness of Ultron’s first and last scenes. His best scenes, where he shows no expression. Spader’s voice just does all it needs to. And he’s scarier and cooler for it.

I love Joss so much but I just don’t get these choices. When it comes down to it I think Joss srruggles with visuals when he goes big budget. Firefly was one of the most beautiful shows I’ve ever seen cinematography and costume-wise. But the movie lost all of that, and looked ugly and totally foreign to the show.

scarlet witch gets her head piece from sanctum. like strange got his cape.

It looks to me like Infinity War sets to place all of the returning characters in their alternate outfits.

Spider-Man is wearing an Iron-Spider version of the Ben Reily design.
Cap is Nomad
Ironman appears to be wearing the Bleeding Edge outfit.
Hawkeye is Ronin
Black Widow is Yelena Belova (I promise you that's the name she's using while a fugitive)
Hulk might go Grey before the end of the film
Thor is Ultimate Thor
Black Panther will be wearing a different suit than Civil War.
Ant-Man's suit is different. Wasp may not appear, but if she does, she's sporting the "team up" costume.
Vision will have his human form
Hell, even Thanos is wearing some fairly different clothes than his average affair.

This film is the movie equivalent of unlocking alternate costumes for all the main characters in a game.
