Avengers: Age of Ultron The release date is set for 1 May this year. This action packed adventure is about Tony Stark trying to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, and this leads to things going 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.

Longo and Finkel meet and form a potentially marriage shattering bond while Longo is in prison awaiting his trial.
