On May 1, the long awaited sequel,  Avengers:Age of Ultron,  will premiere. Many students are excited to see the second installment of what many think is the developing Avengers trilogy. The first Avengers earned  1.5 billion dollars worldwide. The Avengers had a build up of anticipation as Marvel released movies telling the origins of the heroes. However, as the premiere date comes closer, the fandom starts to sweat. “The first trailer that I saw was really good, and I chose not to watch any other recent ones just of case of spoilers,” said freshmen Wyatt Sherwood.

The movie stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. The movie starts when the Avengers raid a Hydra outpost led by an evil villain who has been experimenting on people with the Loki’s old septar. This introduces two new interesting people with new abilities. Stark and Banner discover an artificial intelligence within the scepter’s gem and use it to complete Stark’s “Ultron” global defense program. Ultron believes he must destroy all of humanity to save earth and attacks the Avengers as they celebrate in their headquarters. So together the Avengers must fight against Ultron and save the earth. Throughout the movie, people should expect great actions scenes and a new romance unfold.

Fans have been demanding a sequel to Avengers almost immediately after the first movie and some of them believe they have good reason. “The first one was more for the girls because Tom Hiddleston is there. So you have to have an evil robot for the second one; if not then what’s the point!” said junior Joe Sherwood.

 The expectations are running high for a variety of reasons.  Freshman Rebekah Harding is excited  “because it’s Marvel.”  Unlike other sequels, fans have decided this sequel is needed. “Some things didn’t need to continue… Saving the world needs to continue,” said social science teacher Kristin Bird.
