The girlfriends go missing
While we got a lot of relationship time with Hawkeye and his wife (played by Freaks and Geeks star Linda Cardellini), and with Hulk and Black Widow, but Thor and Iron Man’s ladies were missing. Pepper and Jane were both mentioned though during the party at the beginning of the film, with Stark saying Pepper was too busy to party as she had a company to run, and Thor just tells us that “Jane’s in Africa.”
It seems to the two ladies weren’t able to make it into the movie. It’s a shame Portman hasn’t been able to join in on the fun, but with so many characters already, Whedon was probably finding it impossible to fit anyone else in. We hope that Paltrow or Portman will show up in any future Marvel movies, as they could use a female touch, but also because they’re two incredibly talented actresses and they would help bring some of the solo movies to a higher level.
Thor’s dream sequence
During Thor’s Scarlet Witch dream (read: nightmare), Heimdall chokes Thor out while having crazy white eyes. The Bifrost gatekeeper was apparently trying to tell Thor to look out for what was to come. We imagine this was part of why Thor kept flying off on his own adventures, and it could lead us into Thor: Ragnarok, where Marvel will probably have a lot of fun with new storylines.
Thor was one of the more interesting characters in Age of Ultron, despite flying off a couple times, and without Loki around he wasn’t being overshadowed by Tom Hiddleston’s excellent portrayal of the silver-tongued villain. Loki’s scenes were cut from the movie, but if anything it helped Thor finally shine.
The Vision is born, and holds one of the Infinity stones
A new Avenger is born in Age of Ultron. He goes unnamed in the film until Thor calls him The Vision when he mentions that “The Vision can keep the stone.” Meaning, he’s powerful enough to take care of the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones. He was apparently also worthy enough to wield Thor’s hammer.
We have to imagine The Vision will now play a major part in The Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 & 2, seeing as he now has one of the Infinity stones, which Thanos will be looking to obtain to complete his Infinity gauntlet, and he was a great addition to the team so we’re excited to see more of him.
Edited: An earlier version of this article suggested the character was never called by his actual name, we’ve edited the article to reflect that he was called The Vision by Thor near the end of the film at the Avengers’ new base of operations.
Stan Lee’s cameo gets carried out the building
Marvel comic legend Stan Lee was bound to have an appearance in Marvel’s biggest movie to date, and sure enough he had a cameo in film during a scene where the Avengers are partying and Thor breaks out some 1000 year-old Asgardian alcohol which isn’t for mortals. He and Cap drink a shot, and Stan Lee’s character says if he could handle storming the beaches of Normandy during WWII, he can certainly handle some of their liquor.
The next shot shows Stan being carried out because he can’t walk. It’s a hilarious scene for the legend, and a bit longer than his normal Marvel cameos. Stan Lee is 92 years-old now, so we hope to continue to see a few more cameos from the comic legend over the next few years.
