And boy, there were some teases.
Where to start? Well, this is one of those posts with a lot of speculation, a lot of screen captures and a lot of yammering, so why not start at the beginning?
The trailer opens, as seen above, with Hawkeye ushering people into a waiting Avengers transport (we assume). Presumably he’s trying to rescue them from something, because we see someone who looks like Wanda Maximoff fall and be left behind.
We also see that there’s that same red cloud that we saw hanging over the city in the previous trailer. At the time, we speculated that it could be a T-bomb, which seems even more plausible now that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has proven officially that we won’t have to wait for The Inhumans to meet some Inhumans.
Whatever it is, they’re clearly running from it.
When Tony says that the world “needs something more powerful than any of us,” it seems to be a rejection of the idea of the heroes, but it sounds like the kind of line that’s just itching to be parroted back later as an inspirational line about the power of the team being greater than the sum of its parts.
In the meantime, though, somber looks all around, and Hawkeye apparently either fleeing a burning building or making it burn. It’s hard to tell exactly, but whatever’s going on he doesn’t want to be seen.
It’s interesting that by that point, they already know he’s called “Ultron.” I kind of figured he’d get a name after he got his “real” body, but I suppose it makes sense that if he’s blown all to hell like that the fight would have lasted longer than just the time it takes for him to decide what to call himself.
More of Nick Fury’s “trust no one” philosophizing pretty much just serves to remind us that he’s there, and still looking significantly unofficial. Then we get a quick shot of the mystery woman who is almost certainly a member of the Dora Milaje.
Thor tells Tony that he’s “meddled with something you don’t understand,” presumably in creating life, which is something gods are ostensibly better at than the rest of us. It looks like that’s a direct lead-in to the later scene (seen in the first trailer) where he hoists Stark up by the neck.
Before that, though, we see Scarlet Witch showing off her powers by tossing Tony Stark in a re-enactment of that “days without an accident” joke from Man of Steel:
“Accidents to be reported at once to duty officer.”
From there, we get a touch of insight on Widow…presumably her past, but it could just as easily be a misdirect. A mysterious woman grabs what looks like either a younger Natasha or a doppelganger and holds her down to that operating table from the first trailer, injecting her with something. Is this happening in the present or the past? Is it actually Natasha, or are we going to find out there’s some genetic experimentation going on or something really crazy? We’re guessing it’s just a flashback, but…who knows.
Any guesses on who that woman is holding her down by her face? We don’t have one.
We see him kicking cars around, fighting Hulkbuster, etc., intercut with what looks like Black Widow being stalked by somebody who looks like herself, with two big, honkin’ guns with light-up chambers on them.
It seems likely the proximity fo the shots are meant to suggest Ultron blasted Thor, but that’s clearly not the case, or at least something else happened in between if it is since the blasts are different colors.
The trailer closes on another montage of shots taken either from the Hulk/Hulkbuster sequence or from shots we’ve seen in earlier trailers (with the addition fo the “oh boy” line from Widow, but it’s still part of a scene we’ve already seen) before closing on Ultron himself:
