We only have a few more months until The Avengers: Age Of Ultron arrives in theaters, so it’s no surprise that more details about the film are beginning to emerge — sometimes via unexpected sources. Details about the origins of the film’s new, android characters Vision and Ultron, for example, were recently revealed via some promotional art for an upcoming line of licensed Age Of Ultron products.

A large batch of promotional art for Avengers: Age Of Ultron was recently posted to the SuperHeroHype forum and Reddit, with the latter hosting an image of typical back-of-box material found on toys that offers descriptions of Vision and Ultron (posted below). The description could be considered a spoiler of sorts for the film, as it offers an origin for each character that diverges significantly from their comic-book counterparts — so take heed of the necessary SPOILER WARNING before reading it.

As for the rest of the promotional images, the SuperHeroHype forum has several new images likely tied to upcoming Age Of Ultron products that feature Ultron, Thor, and even a pair of images depicting Hulk squaring off against Iron Man’s “Hulkbuster” armor.

You can view a few of the images below, and the rest at each of the aforementioned sites.

Caesar rides with a grim expression on his face in War for the Planet of the Apes.

Among the new movies on Hulu in April, the only prominent additions to the lineup of sci-fi movies were The Fifth Element and Pacific Rim, both of which have been on Hulu before. But as long as Hulu has top-tier titles like War for the Planet of the Apes and the 2021 remake of Dune, then sci-fi fans should be very happy with their options.

You can find the rest of our picks for the best sci-fi movies on Hulu below. They include the original Alien, Blade Runner 2049, and more. Not all of these films on this list are owned by Disney or 20th Century Studios, so catch them while you can. They won't be around forever.
