Well, we were told Thursday, but why wait? Marvel’s AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON is just under two months away, and we’ve been posting several character posters in the past week. Originally Marvel was going to premiere the trailer Thursday night with the new ABC series AMERICAN CRIME, but it looks like the decided to jump the gun by a day and put it online now… and it’s pretty great. This definitely looks dark, and with lines of dialogue like “No way we all make it through this”, one has to wonder if the whole team will in fact survive while fighting Ultron. We also get our first brief glimpse of The Vision (played by Paul Bettany) in this new trailer, though it seems like they’re doing their best to save him for the finished film. Take a look at the new hotness below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Jackson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, James Spader, Cobie Smulders, Thomas Kretschmann, Paul Bettany and Stellan Skarsgard.
