The arrival of Avengers: Age Of Ultron in theaters is still half a year away (just shy of six months, actually) but the studio isn’t shying away from offering sneak peeks at the highly anticipated sequel to 2012’s record-breaking blockbuster The Avengers. Following on the heels of the first official Avengers: Age Of Ultron trailer, the studio has now released an extended version of the trailer, with quite a bit more footage added to the preview.

Released in partnership with Samsung, the new Age Of Ultron trailer kicks off with some additional scenes featuring James Spader’s creepy narration as the voice of Ultron, the sentient android bent on conquering the world and making humanity extinct. Along with an extended version of the scene depicting a ragged and battered Ultron interrupting the Avengers’ post-mission party, the trailer also showcases a few more scenes of Ultron — and his army of android duplicates — in action.

But Ultron isn’t the only character to get an upgrade in the new trailer. Jeremy Renner’s superhero sharp-shooter Hawkeye is also featured a bit more prominently in this version of the trailer, with several additional scenes that put the archer front and center.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron hits theaters May 1, 2015, and along with Renner as Hawkeye and Spader as the voice of Ultron, the film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Cobie Smulders, Thomas Kretschmann, Paul Bettany, and Stellan Skarsgard. The film is directed by Joss Whedon.

While no deal has been confirmed, the discussions highlight how valuable online fan communities have become as streaming platforms compete not just for viewers, but also for the audiences that influence what people watch next.

Watching Disney+ without paying for a subscription could eventually become an option. According to Business Insider, Disney is considering a free tier that would let people watch some content without a paywall.

The idea is still in the early stages, with no timeline or launch details, but it reflects a growing challenge. YouTube and other free, ad-supported platforms like Tubi and Roku are attracting more TV viewers, forcing streaming services to rethink how they compete.

Netflix has spent years telling the entertainment industry that binge-worthy originals and a simple user experience were enough to stay ahead. That strategy helped make it the world's biggest streaming service. But according to a Wall Street Journal report, the company is increasingly concerned about a different metric: engagement.

That matters because engagement - not just subscriber numbers - has become one of the biggest indicators of whether customers will stick around, watch ads, and continue paying for the service.
