B. Relevance: Have any of you seen a Spider-Man movie? What about Thor or Iron Man? Very few of us in this room can say we have not seen an action packed Marvel movie at least once. Since its humble beginnings in 1939, Marvel has revolutionized not only the comic book world, but also set the bar incredibly high for all potential superhero movies. Marvel is completely relevant to the yearly cinema culture we find ourselves in the midst of, and continues to grow in popularity.

The film follows the aftermath from ‘Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, ‘The Avengers’ and ‘Captain America: The winter solider. ‘Age of Ultron’ opens with the heroes all together trying to capture hydra informants that have attained technology from beyond this world. This calls for
