Along the way, they encounter two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron combines speed, action and humorous one-liners in Marvel’s latest film, with at least two further instalments expected. Sequels Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Avengers: Infinity War Part 2 are scheduled for release over the next 3-4 years.
