Yesterday saw Robert Downey Jr. post the first character poster from Avengers: Age of Ultron to his Twitter. Along with the image he included a caption teasing a “big announcement” in eight days.
Well, one day has passed and while Marvel has now unveiled a second character one sheet – of The Hulk, who some may describe as big – we don’t think this was what Downey Jr. was referring to. Nevertheless, check it out to see the dark green behemoth clenching his fists in another bout of inescapable rage.
Mark Ruffalo, who plays The Hulk and his smaller human counterpart, Bruce Banner, published the new artwork to his Twitter this morning:

Alas, while the Tweet failed to include any more tantalizing teases of this alleged announcement, it’s worthwhile noting that The Hulk received the second spinoff character poster. Not Cap, or Thor – who’ve both had two standalone movies – but The Hulk. If Marvel are pulling even small surprises like this, who knows what could lie in store for us next week?
Avengers: Age of Ultron opens in theaters on May 1st.
Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.
Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and Chris Evans as Captain America. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
