New AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Scene Details Tease 'Pre-Credits' Battle And Distraught Heroes
Check out this description and dialogue from a scene in Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron that follows early battle in the Marvel sequel that has left a couple of the team members distressed and troubled.
It was first reported on very early last year, but the latest issue of Empire magazine confirms that the very beginning of Avengers: Age of Ultron will see the team assemble and pay a surprise visit to the villainous Hydra operative Baron von Strucker (played by Thomas Kretschmann), who is hiding out in an East European castle and holding Loki's scepter. Speaking about the sequence, director Joss Whedon describes it as a "pre-credits Bondian blow-out." The magazine goes on to describe the aftermath of that sequence as it was being filmed, when the team is flying in Tony Stark's new quinjet, which is said to be more spacious than the S.H.I.E.L.D.models, en route to the Avengers Tower in NYC. The full description can be read below as it contains dialogue and potential spoilers.
As Stark is flying the ship, [Robert] Downey Jr. goes and sits in the pilot's seat. [Jeremy] Renner lies down on a table in the middle of the jet and clutches his stomach while a fake drip is attached to his arm. It's clear that, whatever went down at von Strucker's, it has left the Avengers' ace archer in considerable distress. As the dialogue plays out, it becomes clear that [Mark Ruffalo's] Bruce Banner has Hulked out, or what he calls a "code green," during the assault on Strucker's fortress, and is deeply troubled by it. [Scarlett Johansson's] Natasha tries to reassure him - "If you hadn't been there, there would have been double the casualties." Banner grimaces, and replies with, "You know, sometimes exactly what I want to hear isn't exactly what I want to hear." Seeking back-up, Natasha turns to[Chris Hemsworth's] Norse god. "Thor, report on the Hulk?" she asks. Hemsworth immediately lights up and lets rip with a rousing tribute to all the violence unleashed by the Hulk, filled with words like "screams" and "victims" and "whimpering". Seeing that it has the opposite effect to that intended on Banner, the God of Thunder turns God of Blunter, stammering and stumbling, digging himself deeper into a hole.
