There are less than two weeks left before the world premiere of Avengers: Age of Ultron at The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California where all of the stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will gather and stroll the red carpet for the franchise's biggest event yet. The Avengers sequel isn't necessarily the end of "Phase 2" (Ant-Man in July is) but it's the film that will wreck the world as we know it (in the movies) and set the stage for Phase 3 where heroes turn on other heroes.

The entire team is back for Age of Ultron, including Nick Fury who started the whole thing, and with the help of a few fresh faces (details here!), they must battle their worst enemy yet: a mysterious form of artificial intelligence hellbent on eradicating humanity from Earth in order to save it.

Writer and director Joss Whedon has been teasing a darker experience and the theme of "death" ever since his first effort set broke box office records worldwide in 2012, but it's not all doom and gloom for Avengers 2. The heroes are back as showcased in the above one-minute teaser trailer (an extended TV spot). It's only the second official commercial from Marvel Studios for the Avengers sequel and below are the two latest Age of Ultron TV spots, the first focusing on Ultron calling out Earth's Mightiest and tearing them apart...

A New Age Begins...

What's with the city coming apart at the end? Massive Ultron weapon? It's too early for Attilan (the flying city of the Inhumans) to come into play given that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC is only beginning to explore that aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That and the Inhumans movie won't be releasing until 2019 - a long, long ways away. Still, the sheer destruction makes for great foundation-laying for the Civil War story to be explored in Captain America 3 next year. Who's responsible for all of this? The Avengers are.

The second new video (actually the fourth TV spot so far) is much less dramatic and focuses on the sheer fun of the Avengers re-assembling on the big screen. It's another roster roll call similar to the video up top. Thor takes out a Hydra soldier wearing alien Chitauri armor by letting his mighty hammer Mjolnir fly past him, and Hawkeye gets a little personality in calling out the insane situations he finds himself in as one of the "normals" among the super-powered heroes.

We're Fighting An Army of Robots and I Have A Bow and Arrow...

For fans looking to see Marvel's latest on the biggest of theater screens, there's a new set of Avengers: Age of Ultron IMAX posters to check out as well - each focusing on Ultron and the entire team:
