Watch This Conceptual Video for Avengers: Age of Ultron End Credits

As any film lover knows, there's not a single moment of screen time that wasn't conceived of and laboriously created by scores of people. This is especially true for end credits, and it's extra especially true for Marvel films, where extra scenes and crucial information is often embedded. We've all seen the shawarma scene in the credits from 2012's The Avengers. Title sequences and end credits are the first and last thing you see in a film,

Watch Thor Kiss the Vision & More in Avengers: Age of Ultron Gag Reel

Marvel has been releasing a steady stream of heretofore unseen footage from Avengers: Age of Ultron. We showed you the deleted scene of Thor entering the Norn Cave yesterday, and today we’re sharing their epic gag reel (the second, actually) that reveals how much fun these folks have while making these films. And it’s not just the actors—check out what the team that creates the Hulk has fun with the big,

Watch the Norn Cave Deleted Scene From Avengers: Age of Ultron

You can excuse director Joss Whedon for having to leave quite a bit on the cutting room floor considering how much ground (and sky, and space) he had to cover in Avengers: Age of Ultron. One of the scenes that didn't make it into the film was this extended look at the Norn Cave that Marvel has just released.

The Norn Cave has a small but very magically potent pool that Thor prepares to enter,

If you're curious how they were able to actually make Avengers: Age of Ultron, look no further than our interview with the film's production designer, Charles Wood, right here. If you're wondering what prominent authors and scientists think about the possibility of an sentient artificial intelligence becoming Ultron-like (evil, that is), you can read this piece to find out. Or, if you want to watch Chris Evans forget possibly the easiest line in the film,

How’d They Film That? Avengers: Age of Ultron Production Designer Explains

You might imagine when you see Avengers: Age of Ultron that nearly everything is CGI. Yet Joss Whedon, when at all possible, wanted practical effects and real sets. Much like JJ Abrams has reportedly done on the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Whedon prefers to build as much of his world “in camera” as he can.

What does “in camera” mean? It’s the question we asked production designer Charles Wood (Thor: The Dark World,

Avengers: Age of Ultron Gets the Sesame Street Parody Treatment

A lot to enjoy in this Sesame Street parody of Marvel’s upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron. One is imagining living in a world in which people walked around eating vegetables on the street. One of the joys of Sesame Street in general is their completely bonkers voice work—listen to how, at 37 seconds in, one of the characters pronounces the word "asparagus" for a perfect example.

The parody,

From Spader to Scarlett: 5 Great Voice Performances in Sci-Fi Films

So we saw Avengers: Age of Ultron yesterday and in an effort not to disclose any spoilers, we’ll just say this; James Spader absolutely nails his voice work as the eponymous villain. Spader’s articulate, sonorous baritone is put to perfect use, and the sound design work done to enhance his voice and give it a digital sheen was outstanding. His Ultron is a witty, wired (literally), emotional artificial intelligence,

Bow Down Humans! Could an Evil AI Like Ultron Become Our Master?

What we create may someday destroy us. It’s been a pervasive fear in human consciousness since well before the dawn of film, appearing in Ovid’s narrative of Pygmalion and the late 16th Century legend of the Golem of Prague, a creature created to protect the Jewish ghetto who – in some versions of tale – eventually went on a murderous rampage.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is the latest in a long list of movies built around a similar idea: man builds smart thing,

Avengers: Age of Ultron Teases Quicksilver & The Scarlet Witch

Joss Whedon recently said that Avengers: Age of Ultron was by far and away the most challenging film he’s made, largely to do the sequel’s super-sized cast. It was tough enough to juggle the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, the Black Widow, Nick Fury, Captain America (honestly it just keeps going), but Ultron makes the original Avengers look like a walk in the park.

Well,
