Wasn't too much in the trailer to grab my interest. Rather curious about the random shot of the ballet class though. Right? What was that?

Black Widow, many moons ago, in the comics, was a ballet dancer as her cover to be in America spying for the Russians

hmm I don't really like the mouth on Ultron but I'll get over it... but I think the static open one helps with the inhuman aspect of him. I think the issue there is that movie characters, especially comic movie characters, without visibly moving mouths don't tend to go over very well with casual audiences. They become somewhat of a prop instead. V For Vendetta got some flack for that. Then there's Bane from DKR. It's part of why 95% of the time when Iron Man speaks, they cut to an interior of Stark's face instead, and why Spider-Man takes his mask off way too often in the films. Basically this. It works well on the page, less well on-screen. They did it in the Transformers movies too, most notably for Optimus Prime. The only major character who wears a mask even when speaking that I can think of is Darth Vader, at least within the general action/adventure genre.

...and you know what? Despite the weird face moving thing that he has to have, Ultron does generally look pretty "cool." Much "cooler" than he did in the comics.

For some reason this is released in the UK (and some other countries) a week earlier than the USA.

I like the darker feel and intense nature that the film appears to be going. Joss Whedon himself said the film will be darker, more painful, more personal, and that it will be a tragedy compared to the first film. I wonder what that brief ballet scene during the trailer is all about?

Fans/casual audience won't have an issue with the appearance of Ultron once they see him in the grand scheme of things.

I have a small complaint and it's very minor. Since we know it makes an appearance, I wish they kept the scene of the Hulkbuster suit as a surprise. Imagine the amount of insanity, cheers, and epic nature of the theatre atmosphere if we had no idea about it and the second we see Hulk vs. Iron Man/Hulkbuster suit face off. Man, the chills of that scene honestly.

Serkis could be that character, but my money is on {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Another bearded super villain, and one that Marvel could use to connect Wanda and Doctor Strange, Baron Karl Mordo Or another Avengers villain {Spoiler}Count Nefaria

She'd be a great fit for Agents of Shield

For two reasons really: {Spoiler}I hope it's Klaw so that we already have him set up for a Black Panther movie in Phase 3, and I really don't want Baron Mordo as the villain for the Doctor Strange movie. I'm just so tired of villains in superhero movies being all "It's the hero, but if he went to the dark side!" and I would really them to skip ahead to Dormammu as the main villain.

They could have just did what Doctor Who did with the rebooted Cybermen and have his mouth light up in conjunction with his lines. Didn't EMH Ultron do that? I can't remember.

I so dont want that movie in phase 3. Save it four. Or dont do it. Yeah, I dislike that character.

They're gonna have additional exclusive looks (not the trailer) for next week's S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Marvel 75th special the week after.

You know, I got to ask.
Is there a rule out there that says that the second movie of a franchise always has to have that dark atmosphere of hopelessness?

is it weird that the last shot of Ultron reminded me more of Apocalypse than Ultron?
