The second Avengers film is produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The script of the film was written by Joss Whedon who is also the director of the film.

Marvel's 'Avengers' was first released in 2012 and after the overwhelming box office success of the popular movie, the sequel to it was announced during the same year. 'Avengers 2' is intended to be the eleventh installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The upcoming superhero movie will be released on May 1, 2015 and includes the following cast members:

The team will need to battle against new the antagonist Ultron, who receives an all-new origin story in the film. The Earth's mightiest must unite with newcomers Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch while dealing with the new level of conflicts that take place within the world's mightiest team of heros. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are rumored to have some disagreements with The Avengers and Tony Stark might be responsible for the creation of new villain.

Rumors about Spider-man joining the cast of heroes in The Avengers are false, says Marvel rep Avi Arad. Bringing those two worlds together would sell short their potential, he says: "There's so much to tell about Spider-Man. There's so much to tell about the Sinister Six. The relationship between Spider-Man and Venom will bring a whole other world in."
