In the wake of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s fall in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it seems that Stark is now providing the money needed to keep the superhero team going. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige shared some more details about the Hulkbuster armor and Avengers Tower with IGN.
Here’s what he had to say about the Tower:
“S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone – for people who are following along. S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded and brought down at the end of The Winter Soldier because it turned out to not be the best organisation ever. So Tony’s bank-rolling The Avengers now. And he’s bank-rolling their headquarters. So it’s now Avengers Tower.
“Tony designed it so in addition to a hanger for a brand-new Quinjet, laboratories, places where he can build and store his Iron Man suits, there are I believe two bars. Beautiful multiple space living rooms which are perfect for parties and social gatherings. But it’s a primary location in the film this time around.”
As for the armor, Feige says the battle between Hulk and Tony’s Hulkbuster armor will be a key moment in the film:
“There are a lot of scenes that you should be getting excited about” he explained. “That is certainly one of them. I think I said a long time ago when Joss [Whedon] first did his six-page or 10-page outline for Avengers, there was a lot of work and the movie’s adapted quite a bit since then, but there were like six or seven signature things just in that. I said ‘Joss, even if we don’t do anything else. Just do these seven things, that’s enough for the movie. Now let’s get to work and put it all together.’ Those things are in the movie and are amazing, of which that sequence is one.”
Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to theaters May 1, 2015.
