Avengers 2: Age of Ultron Teaser Trailer Thoughts

I have watched and rewatched the recently released Avengers 2: Age of Ultron teaser trailer and I am now officially hyped.  I wasn't really sure what to think of this film as I am not very familiar with the Ultron character outside of him being an uncontrollable, somewhat insane robot.  But after seeing this first look at the film, I am excited.

I saw the concept art for the Hulkbuster armor quite some time ago and wondered if that would make it into the final film and indeed it has.  After being teased somewhat near the ending of Iron Man 3, the Hulkbuster armor will make its cinematic debut in Avengers 2.  As the name suggests, the armor was designed specifically for fighting the Hulk as Hulk is too strong to face down in regular armor.  It's unclear when the Iron Man vs Hulk battle takes place in the movie, but I do wonder if it will lead to *POSSIBLE SPOILER* Hulk being sent out into space.

Another interesting aspect shown in the trailer is Captain America's broken shield.  His shield has previously been shown and described as being unbreakable vibranium.  Mjolnir can't shatter it and neither can Hulk, so it's curious as to what can break it assuming it isn't part of a dream sequence.  Some have speculated that the broken shield could end up involving Black Panther as he's the ruler of Wakanda, the only known location in the world that has vibranium.

The last thing that I want to comment on is Ultron's grand cinematic debut.  Being very unfamiliar with the character means I have very little expectation for what he should or shouldn't sound or look like.  However, what I've seen of him in this trailer cements that he will be an intimidating, amazing, and memorable screen villain.  I admittedly wasn't all that fond of Loki and the Chitauri being the villains in Avengers as I didn't think they were imposing enough.  It looks like Ultron is going to be more than a match for the heroes and will probably end up being the starting point for the path to Civil War.  His visual design is pretty slick and it looks like he will have multiple forms throughout the film as the older picture from Entertainment Weekly shows (or that could be some type of a combat mode that he switches into).
