Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, which will be released across EMEA in April 2015, is the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time.

As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
