Thanks for posting all the new info!
The Twins are probably the thing I'm looking forward to most about this movie and it sounds like they have it down. I like the dynamic they seem to be playing with - protecting each other, with Pietro being external/physical and Wanda being internal/psychological. That's interesting.
And I'm really glad they're giving them accents - I've always been a little disappointed Black Widow doesn't sound Russian. I always read her with a thick Russian accent.

But BW is a spy. She should be able to hide it well.
You know, being the super spy she is.

I feel like it suffers from having so many different visions and intentions. Like it's part sequel, part reboot, and also trying to establish itself in a not very established universe. All the MCU stuff was probably more of an afterthought than anything.
Some people might consider this a good thing, they way they dismiss each movie as merely being a setup for the next.
THANK YOU
She'd kinda suck at being a world class super spy if she walked around with a Russian accent
As for the twins, it was confirmed in pretty sure a while ago they would have accents so I've been so excited to hear it but I just hope they land well

I kinda have an issue with X-Men and the rest of Marvel being set in the same universe. In the X-Men universe people get powers due to mutations and Charles' cerebro mutant targeting in X2 showed there were a lot of them. The problem is that in my opinion, any mutant from the X-Men universe could potentially be a superhero in the other universes. It's hard to take a Johny Storm seriously when there are mutants who can do the same. There could potentially be lot of mutants that are civilians or are unknown that might have the same powers or ever be stronger than the Marvel heroes. That's why I'm opposed to merging the two universes. Mutants are scary man.
I dont understand whats your point is/ what the big problem is supposed to be.
It's not going to happen, but would be a great scene if, at some point, Widow was in a situation where she had to bounce between a few languages. It was nice to see her say a few Russian lines so far, but, yeah, I agree that she shouldn't have an accent (in any of her languages).
Definitely sounds like they've got a very good direction with the twins...fucking love the description of Quicksilver.

The issue is that for example a superhero in a non X-Men series wouldn't even popular in the X-Men universe. To describe it differently, a girl in town A is hot, but if she were to move to town B people wouldn't even look at her if she passed by cause almost everyone is just as hot if not hotter.
I dont think so.
Ultron is looking great, very smug too.
He clearly wasn't being literal.
Playing coy with Vision, they really are making him a surprise for most moviegoers.

i'll never understand the weird complaints about mutants not fitting in with the rest of the marvel universe.
yes people are afraid of mutants but respect superheroes, because supers are typically given their powers through some accident or discovery or whatever, but mutants are an offshoot of humanity that, while they're not all bad, their existence does threaten to marginalize normal humans if they are allowed to thrive. you also had 20+ years of people like Magneto giving mutants a bad name. that's how bigotry works, it's not supposed to follow logic.
reminds of the "why can't the avengers just help" stuff haha

I don't really get how the bolded doesn't apply to non-mutant superhumans, who are just as capable of reproducing and have just as many bad apples in their number. It's true that non-mutant villains have been much less likely to claim to speak collectively for all superhumans, but I don't quite buy that the general public would draw such a sharp line between mutant and non-mutant characters, especially as it would be easy for the former to lie about having been in an accident involving radioactive waste or whatever.
Bottom line, the X-Men have a very simple metaphor at their core, and that metaphor gets more and more muddied as you add more non-mutant fantastic elements to their universe.
Well, its not like rasicm makes sense in real life. And its not like superheroes arent hated. Ask Spider-Man.

Never mind Spider-Man, ask Banner. That guy's been on the run for, like 90% of his books.
It's the laugh that sells it.
Although I don't think the world is ready for (in)HumanXRobot relationships, let me dream

Paul Bettany talks about Vision, he seems to confirm that it will be a recurring role.

Yep. Humans having prejudice against mutants but not against superheroes who got their powers by other means is believable precisely because racism is supposed to be dumb and based on arbitrary justifications.

is this allowed?
It's posted on Twitter publicly so I think it's fine
It was posted elsewhere publicly the first time he was reminded not to link to them, so no.

Oh, so I take it from the Empire cover that is going to be Quicksilver's costume in AoU? There won't be any CGI magic to make it look less underwhelming. Kind of hate it.

Well they were prisoners.... So no costume. Also QS's fashion sense is crap.
He considers it pointless.

thank god they got rid of that shitty ass Cap't suit from the original Avengers.
Oh, and that Ultron Empire cover looks so good.

I really wonder how often Vision will show up in other MCU movies, or if we will have to wait until Infinity War for him to reappear.

I meant costume in the film production sense more than the superhero sense so should have been more clear.
I quite like the get-up they have the Scarlet Witch in, so I don't think them being prisoners necessitates his costume design being so meh.
Yeah, I thought only direct links were prohibited.
I'm pretty sure links to anywhere who has scans is against the rules.
Hot Toys Thanos figure from Guardians. Hence no guantlet, he's about 15" tall so in between the height of their normal 1/6 figures and shorter than Hulk/Iron Monger/Igor figures
Is Josh Brolin just doing the voice or is he in makeup and prosthetics as well?
Oh and Gamora was just released.

It's based on Thanos from Guardians though.
