The "Avengers: Age of Ultron" was projected to be one of the biggest hits in this year's Comic Con. This is, after all, the sequel to the biggest comic book movie ever (in terms of box-office). Director Joss Whedon had the audience shocked beyond belief in the trailer footage!

Joss Whedon has already teased that there will be death, not exactly singular, in the Avengers. He's not even afraid to kill-off a franchise. From EW:

"I'm always joking about that. Um...maybe?... But I'd have to have a really good reason, a really great sequence for [Marvel executives] to go, 'We'll cut off a potential franchise, that's fine!' They know as any good studio does, that without some stakes, some real danger, how involved can we get?"

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is admittedly a much darker movie than its predecessor, and Whedon, being a comic book writer himself, understands all about raising the stakes. Ending a franchise may be tragic but it would be very interesting, to say the least. But what if Whedon went too far, like killing ALL the Avengers? The Vulture testifies this footage at Comic Con:

"We see the Avengers tussling with the arrogant robot Ultron (voiced by James Spader) and a couple of new recruits, including Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). "I have a vision," intones Ultron. 'The whole world screaming for mercy. Everyone tangled up in strings.' And indeed, from all the war-torn locales we glimpse in the trailer, the big bad robot is making good on his plans. 'There are no strings on me!' roars Ultron.

But then, after we get the title card, there's one last shocking sight: a battered Tony Stark waking up in some cosmic realm, Captain America's split-in-half shield beside him. As Tony rises, he stares up a set of stairs suspended in space, and he sees that this odd outcropping is covered with the dead bodies of his fellow Avengers."

Of course, when it comes to footage, teasers and trailers there is always the question of context. There would be plenty of theories to explain this scene, but for now, it stands as what it is.

While it may not be ALL of the Avengers, it does look like there will be a major death in "Age of Ultron" and it may be the one we least expect! Stay tuned because we will-all the way to May 1, 2015!
