Now in its second season, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series has created quite a bit of connective tissue between the big-screen installments of Marvel’s cinematic universe by featuring various characters from the films in recurring roles and cameos, as well as introducing the live-action versions of characters from Marvel’s comics canon. The series recently introduced popular character Bobbi Morse (a.k.a. Mockingbird), a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent played by Adrianne Palicki.

Directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age Of Ultron will hit theaters May 1, 2015, and finds the superhero team battling a deadly new, robotic enemy. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and a host of other returning characters and new additions to Marvel’s cinematic universe.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (May 3-5)

The cast of That Thing You Do!

The first weekend in May has arrived, and Hulu fans should be happy to hear that there's a new lineup of movies to enjoy. Like most of the major streamers, Hulu debuts the majority of its library additions on the first of the month. But there will more movies released on Hulu throughout May.

Since the first weekend of May is traditionally timed around the opening of a superhero movie, our first choice this weekend is a comic book film that's celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Our other two picks include Tom Hanks' directorial debut, and a generation-spanning drama that holds up three decades after its release.
