The highly anticipated Avengers 2 movie will come to theaters on May 1. After the suspense-filled ending of the last movie, producers of Avengers 2 have many questions to answer. After Tony Stark jumpstarts a peacekeeping program, everything starts to fall apart. The team of Avengers, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow, come together to battle Ultron, who is adamant about human extinction. As the team battles for life, jokes are told, memories are created, and new enemies are made.

Senior José Colón says, “I expect a major plot twist that ties into the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D in Captain America 2. I hope there are a lot of action and Hulk smashes.”

Avengers, released in 2012, was an action packed movie. The group of heroes that we have grown to love come together to fight Loki, Thor’s jealous brother. The team is initially divided by arrogance and conflicting personalities but is eventually brought together after the death of a friend. As they begin to work together, they save New York from an alien attack and ultimately save the universe from a powerful source of evil.

Senior Keziah Kott says, “Well I am hoping for more Hawkeye and for Captain America to wield Thor’s hammer. I’m also expecting some awesome fight scenes between Hulk and Iron Man. I am hoping for some awesome Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch scenes where they kick butt.”

The box office records for Avengers show that it was the number one movie of the year earning more than $1.5 billion in the box office. Many believe that Avengers 2: Age of the Ultron will follow suit.

Junior Brandon Alvarez says, “I expect the movie to surpass its prequel. The movie is said to be better than every movie building up to it. It is a movie that I believe is worth every penny. Avengers was a great movie that had the perfect balance of action, drama, and comedy.”

After over a year of filming, Marvel fans are anxiously waiting to see the sequel of the Avengers.
