They seem to be from the trailer. Can anyone who saw the CC trailer confirm if they are from that one? Because I really want the trailer to be new.

ehhh, not digging Ultron there, his face is too flat and human like.

Wowowow. Hulkbuster looks awesome. Liking the Ultron design personally.
That argument was silly as shit to begin with.
He proved he could direct when he was outstyling Sopranos directors on a 1999 WB budget.
Maybe just maybe there was a learning curve for his first 200 million dollar SFX feature.
Exactly

Have to agree with those not digging the eyes. Too human like IMO, not menacing enough. That's just from a still though, and It's hard to get an idea of what the shape of the head will be. Can't wait to see him in motion. In Joss We Trust.

I think that's an early version of Ultron. Doesn't line up with the other images I've seen tossed around.
Still like it though.

I mean, wait, Ultron is in Avengers: Age of Ultron!?? Fucking spoilers mang
Something an actual Sopranos director said, by the way.
EDIT: Though I'll be damned if I can find the 15 year old quote. Anyway, surprised anyone who watched those two shows would disagree. They were far and away the two best looking shows as long as Whedon was directing Buffy. Episodes like Hush and Restless look far, far better than almost all current TV and they were shot on about 1/4th the budget of most current network TV.
Hush, The Body, Restless and Once More With Feeling are some of the best directed episodes of TV ever

It would be amusing to see a cut of the film with just Ultron in his mac.

Both images look very cool. Love Ultron's eyes. Can't wait to see it in combo with Spader's voice.

One of the things Whedon said when he revealed the villain would be Ultron was that he would be more "human" in his portrayal, and giving him non blinky robot eyes goes a long way to portraying the emotion of the character. This isn't a cartoon or something but a high-budget production with a really great actor playing the character, I think it's the kind thing that looks weird from a trailer screencap but will look really convincing in motion.

Yeah, the eyes are a bit too human. Hopefully it is an early version and we get the big gaping red maw for the mouth and the creepy angled eyes for the final form.

Remember that Ultron is going to have a lot of forms.
Oh shit, he is the final boss!
Yup. Like the form on the EW cover.
Was he Voldemort in all movies? Also as the face on Quirrels head in philosopher's stone?
This isn't even his final form.

Holy crap, Ultron looks pretty sick as well as the hulk buster suit!
I know that's what they're going for, I just don't like it. His eyes should be triangles. Do whatever the hell you want with the mouth, but leave the eyes alone.

Ultron evolves into...Charizard?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Ultron having at least a few "bit too close to human" looks makes a lot of sense when you consider we're also getting The Vision's origin jammed in here.

Yeah I'm not feeling the Ultron design in that pic but the one on the EW cover looks like the final form of him.
No.
I know however when they were designing Voldemort in his physical body (first appeared in the fourth book/film), they initially wanted him to have red slit eyes like he did in the book, but Fiennes lobbied successfully for human eyes.

They could have still been burning red like my childhood nightmares though. And the Quirrel head didn't have red eyes either.

Buffy's one of my top 3 favorite shows of all time but that show and Whedon as a director is nowhere near the level of something like the Sopranos on a technical/cinematography standpoint. Outside of season finales Whedon didn't even direct many epsiodes of Buffy directly anyway, and while he ranges form mediocre to solid he can't hold a candle to people like Cary Joji Fukunanga or Allen Coulter. He's fame comes for his skills as a writer, and it's the primary aspect of the acclaim and discussion surrounding shows like Buffy and Angel, it's not his distinct directing style (he doesn't really have one) or his groundbreaking cinematography (not much of that either) that got him the Avengers, it's his ability to tell a story and write good characters.

I think both Hulkarmor and Ultron look wicked sick.

This movie is going to top The Winter Soldier. It's going to be everything we want. I feel it in my very soul. Marvel and Whedon going to deliver so hard.
That's how I always imagined him as well. I get that they need the face to emote though. I just wish the basic shapes could stay the same.

Inb4 Ultron loses more and more human-like facial features as he descends into madness (after the vision betrays him).
How is what the character looks like in a trailer a spoiler?
