Iron Man confronts Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron clip

One of the things we loved about Joss Whedon's Avengers Assemble was its lively, quick-witted sense of humour. 

And judging from this latest Avengers: Age of Ultron clip, the tone is as fast-paced and funny as before, as Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) confronts his evil robotic creation Ultron (voiced by James Spader). And in a great twist on the usual diabolical baddie routine, Ultron seems to have inherited the amusingly flippant tone of his billionaire creator.

Also featured are Norse God Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). But the really eye-catching players are superhero siblings Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), the former showing off his impressive lightning-quick speed abilities.

In short, pure unadulterated Marvel awesomeness. Take a look at the clip and click here to book your tickets for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The film is finally released this Thursday.
