The Avengers: Age of Ultron Comic-Con 2014 Trailer Description
At San Diego Comic-Con 2014, the cast of The Avengers: Age of Ultron took to the stage to discuss what fans can expect to see in The Avengers sequel. The audience got a look at the very first teaser footage for The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Cinema Blend team were in the audience and gave the following feedback:
The footage began in the newly furbished Avengers Tower where we see Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), Natasha Romanoff (Scarlet Johansson), Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and James Rhodes (Don Cheadle), sitting around and relaxing. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) walks into frame and sits his hammer, Mjolnir, down on the coffee table in front of everyone. This immediately stirs up a debate, as Tony and Hawkeye don’t believe that Thor being “worthy” is what allows him to pick up his weapon of choice. An Avengers challenge then begins.
First it’s Tony who tries to pick up the hammer, asking if his success would mean him becoming king of Asgard. But of course he fails. After asking to be excused for a second, he returns with an Iron Man gauntlet on – but still his efforts are in vain. Then we see both Tony and Rhodey using their Iron Man gloves to try and lift the Asgardian hammer, but, again, they have no luck. Next up is Hawkeye, who also is unable to budge it a millimeter. Bruce then gives it a try, but his extreme effort begins to put everyone on edge (and, of course, he’s unable to lift it as well). Then it’s Maria Hill’s turn, and she is also unable to pick it up. Things get a bit weird when Captain America gives it a go, as we actually hear the hammer move slightly, and Thor suddenly looks very concerned. This is fleeting, however, as his efforts soon become just as futile as everyone else’s.
After Black Widow refuses the challenge, saying that it’s not a question she need’s answered, Tony starts to accuse Thor of having Mjolnir’s handle encrypted with some kind of fingerprint recognition. Thor, however, dismisses this theory out of hand, saying that the answer is simple: “You’re all not worthy.” Everyone is smiling and laughing, but the mood of the room changes drastically when we begin to hear the sound of metal clanking down the hallway behind them, as well as the sound of a voice. We then see what looks like a very early version of Ultron – made up of what look like just spare parts. Things get really scary when he begins to speak, however:
“Worthy? How could you be worthy? You’re all killers. You want to protect the world, but you don’t want it to change. There’s only one path to peace. Your extinction.”
After that, a pair of robots come flying through the wall towards our heroes. The battle has begun.
The rest of the footage came in montage format, but was filled with all kinds of amazing visuals. Looking much, much darker than the first Avengers movie, all the various sequences were set in places around the world from Eastern Europe to Africa, but all of the scenes had one thing in common: a tone of pure dread. The material was extremely action heavy and showcased just about everyone’s powers – including the super speed of Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and the magic of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Iron Man’s Hulkbuster suit also made an amazing appearance, with Tony and Hulk doing battle in what appeared to be the aforementioned Africa location (one particularly great moment had hulk throwing a car at Iron Man and then punching his way through it. . Other awesome stuff included a super quick appearance by Andy Serkis (who apparently isn’t playing a motion capture character), Bruce Banner stumbling shirtless through a forest with snow on the ground, Hulk and Black Widow pressing their palms together, and finally a shot of Ultron with the line of dialogue, “There are no strings on me.”

Screenrant also mentioned that a huge battle commenced in the trailer with an upsetting outcome, they wrote:
The trailer concluded with Tony standing in a wasteland with the rest of the Avengers lying on the ground looking a lot worse for wear. Captain America’s shield was broken in half. They were seemingly dead.
Let’s hope that this is an illusion from Scarlet Witch or possible outcome from The Vision and not real…
