It suggested imposingtaxes on coal-fired power stations and lowering taxes onliquefied natural gas and kerosene. It’s hard to argue that against the assertion that Newark’s downtown has been revitalized.

Security officers ride Segways past vendors selling T-shirts and incense. Pounding jackhammers pervade a part of downtown where Prudential Financial Inc. Is building a new headquarters. Across the street, dilapidated Military Park is getting a makeover spearheaded by the designer who rehabbed New York City’s Bryant Park. A gleaming new park on the Passaic River opened this summer, opening up the long-neglected waterfront.

I have my own business At the same time the world’s largest yoghurt maker kept its full-year forecast for higher sales but weaker profitability as it tries to offset sluggish demand in Europe by expanding in fast-growing emerging markets in Asia and Latin America. It is rare and perhaps unprecedented for a legitimate U.S. Business to shut down rather than comply with a government request for information, said Kurt Opsahl, an attorney with the Electronic Freedom Foundation, a civil liberties group in San Francisco that is not involved in the case.

(Gibbs once called Axe “the guy who walks in front of Obama with rose petals.”) Noting the big run on Gibbs and Axelrod, a columnist for Politico told me they were the new “it guys” at the service, and of course they were, in part for devising a communications strategy predicated on indifference to this very onrushing club of D.C.’s Leading Thinkers.

And they have got to come to peace somehow with each other.' While filming in, Ruffalo said that Whedon still had not given him any of the Hulk's lines. Whedon later explained that he writes the Hulk's dialogue spontaneously, saying, 'What makes the Hulk so hard to write is that you're pretending he's a werewolf when he's a superhero.

Producer stated that more of the character's backstory is explored in the film. Johansson elaborated, 'In Avengers 2 we go back. We definitely learn more about Widow's backstory, and we get to find out how she became the person you see. All of these characters have deep, dark pasts, and I think that the past catches up to some of us a little bit.'

Regarding where the film picks up Widow's story, Johansson felt it was a continuation of what was seen for her character in The Winter Soldier, with the fact that '[Widow] never made an active choice. [She's] a product of other people's imposition.'

That's going to catch up with her. That's bound to have a huge effect. There's got to be a result of that realization. You'll see her actively making some choices in her life, for better or worse.'

Whedon said that Hawkeye interacts more with the other characters in the film, as opposed to the first film where the character had been 'possessed pretty early by a bad guy and had to walk around all scowly.'

Renner described the character as 'kind of a loner' and 'a team player only 'cause he sort of has to be.

Taylor-Johnson also said that Quicksilver was 'very overprotective' of Scarlet Witch and has 'real anger frustration', which results in him being easily bored because of a short attention span. Feige stated exploring Quicksilver's relationship with his sister and his backstory growing up in Eastern Europe would help differentiate the character from ' version in (2014). Taylor-Johnson stated that the running style for Quicksilver went through multiple iterations, saying, 'The running style we tested early on was just very one-dimensional and boring to look at, but if you try to do free running, like parkour, then that's very much Captain America's style. You have to find your own place in the stunt world.'

Much of Taylor-Johnson's scenes were filmed outdoors to give 'life' to his running, as opposed to running indoors in front of a green screen. The twin sister of Quicksilver, who can engage in and. Olsen felt Wanda was 'overly stimulated' rather than 'mentally insane' because 'she has such a vast amount of knowledge that she's unable to learn how to control it. No one taught her how to control it properly. She can connect to this world and parallel worlds at the same time, and parallel times.' Describing her character's mind control powers, Olsen said that the character is able to do more than manipulating someone's mind, with Scarlet Witch able to 'feel and see what they feel and see' by projecting visions that they have never seen.

Olsen expanded saying, 'What I love about her is that, in so many superhero films, emotions are kind of negated a bit, but for her everything that someone else could feel—like their weakest moments—she physically goes through that same experience with them, which is pretty cool.' Olsen drew on her relationship with her older brother and her to prepare for the role, as well as looking to the comics for inspiration.

Olsen is signed for this film and another. Bettany, who voiced J.A.R.V.I.S., Stark's companion in previous films, was cast again as the Vision, an created by Ultron.

Bettany stated that he was surprised when Whedon asked him if he wanted to be the Vision because once an actor has been cast as a particular character in the MCU, they usually are not cast as another. On what intrigued him about the Vision, Bettany said, 'The thing that appealed to me is that this sort of nascent creature being born, being both omnipotent and totally naive, the sort of danger of that and complex nature of a thing being born that is that powerful and that created in a second and the choices he makes morally are really complex and interesting. They've really managed to maintain all of that'. Bettany also stated that the Vision feels paternal and protective to a number of people in the film, particularly Scarlet Witch, and has the ability to change his density. Bettany did wire work for the part. Whedon stated he wanted to include the Vision in a second Avengers film before he signed onto the first film.

Bettany's make-up, which consisted of a mix of and prosthetics, took two hours to apply with make-up artists Jeremy Woodhead and Nik Williams citing the correct hue of the Vision's skin as the hardest thing to figure out.

Describing Hill's situation in the film, Smulders said that after The Winter Soldier, Hill does not 'really know who's a good guy and who's a bad guy and she's trying to figure out that throughout this film.' She added, 'She's not getting any sleep. She's doing all the work.

She doesn't have the kind of manpower that she had in S.H.I.E.L.D.,' instead working for Tony Stark at the Avenger's headquarters 'trying to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. It's an entirely different vibe for her.' A former trained by the military in aerial combat using a specially designed wing pack and a friend of Steve Rogers.

Director Joss Whedon stated that Spader was his 'first and only choice' for the role, because of his 'hypnotic voice that can be eerily calm and compelling' while also being very human and humorous. Feige clarified that Spader's face and body were 'to create a whole performance.

We did not hire James Spader to do a robot voice.' Extensive scans were taken of Spader's head and body in preparation for the role. About the character Whedon said, 'He's always trying to destroy the Avengers, goddamn it, he's got a bee in his bonnet. He's not a happy guy, which means he's an interesting guy. He's got pain. And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff.' Whedon added that Ultron is 'not a creature of logic—he's a robot who's genuinely disturbed.

We're finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is.' Whedon compared Ultron to, saying, 'It's our new myth [.] We create something in our own image and the thing turns on us. It has that pain of 'Well, why was I made? I want to kill Daddy.' ' Spader called the character 'self-absorbed' and added, 'I think he sees the Avengers as being part of a problem, a more comprehensive problem in the world. He sees the world from a very strange, [biblical] point of view because he's brand new, he's very young. He's immature, and yet has knowledge of comprehensive, broad history and precedent, and he has created in a very short period of time a rather skewed worldview.'

Spader elaborates, 'He truly is an artificial intelligence with absolutely no censorship at all, no parameters really he’s got too much power, too much strength and speed and size, so he’s a very dangerous child.' The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In October 2011,, president of said the studio was beginning to look at their films, which would start with Iron Man 3 and would culminate in a second Avengers film. In March 2012,, director of, stated that he would want a sequel to be 'smaller.

More personal. More painful. By being the next thing that should happen to these characters, and not just a rehash of what seemed to work the first time. By having a theme that is completely fresh and organic to itself.' Despite the production of the film becoming increasingly wider in scope, Feige maintained that this was not their intention, always looking to see where the team wanted to take the characters, over how to make it bigger than The Avengers. At the premiere of The Avengers, Feige said the studio had an for Whedon to return as director. In May 2012, after the successful release of the first film, CEO announced a sequel was in development.

Most of the film's cast members were under contract to potentially appear in the sequel; however, was not, as his four-picture deal with Marvel expired after Iron Man 3. At the 2012, Whedon said he was undecided about directing. However, in August 2012, Iger announced that Whedon would return to write and direct the sequel and develop the Marvel television series,, for. Later in the month, Disney set a May 1, 2015 release date. When asked about his decision to return, Whedon said, ' Avengers 2, it wasn't a tough decision.

For a long time I thought, 'Well, it's just not going to happen.' Then when I actually started to consider it, it became so clear that I desperately wanted to say more about these characters, it would've been an easy no and it was a spectacularly easy yes. There was no wrestling.' Whedon said that they intended for the film's production to not be as rushed as the first one.

In December 2012, Whedon stated that he had completed an outline for the film. In February, at the 2013, Whedon said that death would play a theme in the sequel, and in March, he said that he looked to and The Godfather Part II as inspirations. Feige revealed that, who is scheduled to appear in her, appeared in an early draft of the screenplay, but was removed since the character had not yet been cast, saying, 'It didn't feel like the time. We didn't want to introduce her fully formed flying in a costume before you knew who she was or how she came to be.' Whedon went so far as to shoot visual effects plates for Captain Marvel to fly into Avengers Tower at the end of the film; those shots were reused, however, for Scarlet Witch instead.

Feige also revealed that an early draft of the script had Hulk's Quinjet detected near Saturn at the end of the film, but it was finally decided to keep it Earth-based and leave his fate ambiguous in order to dispel rumors that a film based on the ' comic storyline was in development, which Marvel Studios had no plans to adapt at the time. Marvel would later decide to adapt 'Planet Hulk' for the film, in which the Hulk does end up leaving Earth. Pre-production [ ] By April 2013, filming was scheduled to begin in early 2014 at in. At the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 3, Whedon said that he had completed a draft of the script, started the process, and met with actors. Whedon also mentioned that he wrote with Downey in mind and included a 'brother/sister act' from the comic books, later confirming that he was referring to and. Whedon explained his rationale for including the characters in the film saying, 'their powers are very visually interesting.

One of the problems I had on the first one was everybody basically had punchy powers [Quicksilver]'s got super speed. [Scarlet Witch] can weave spells and a little telekinesis, get inside your head. There's good stuff that they can do that will help sort of keep it fresh,' though cautioned he was not throwing in more characters for the sake of doing that. Whedon stated that the twins allowed him to add more conflict: 'They don't like America, and they don't like the Avengers The Avengers are like a world power, and not everybody's on board with the Avengers coming in and starting fights, even in the name of justice.

So you need that dissenting voice, and you need to understand it and sympathize with it.' Because Marvel Studios shares the film rights to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch with and had to avoid conflict with Fox's, Whedon introduced two important characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe completely on his terms for the first time, which allowed him to connect their origin stories to the universe that they created and avoid the concept of. Whedon relished at the storytelling opportunities by introducing a character with telepathic powers, explaining, 'it meant we could spend a little time inside the Avengers' heads—either their past or their impressions of what's going on, or their fears, or all of the above.' By May, Downey had entered negotiations to extend his contract with Marvel Studios and reprise his role as Iron Man in the film.

A month later, Downey signed on to return for the then-untitled Avengers sequel, as well as a third Avengers film. Whedon promoting the film at the 2013 At the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, Whedon announced the film would be subtitled Age of Ultron. Despite the subtitle, the film is not based on the 2013 comic book miniseries. Feige explained that they simply liked the title Age of Ultron but the plot was taken from decades of Avengers story arcs.

Whedon added that Ultron's origin would differ from his comics roots, and that would not be involved with Ultron's creation. Whedon disclosed that had rights to the character first through his inclusion in, which was already in development.

He also thought that Ultron needed to be conceived through the Avengers and since they already had Tony Stark and Bruce Banner on the team, it would not make sense to bring in a third scientist. Whedon also said the film would have a darker tone due to Ultron's involvement. The title of the film came as a surprise to many fans who were expecting, the mastermind behind the events of the first film, to be the main villain in the sequel, with Whedon saying, 'Thanos was never meant to be the next villain. He's always been the overlord of villainy and darkness.' Commenting on finding the right balance between technology- and fantasy-based heroes in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Feige said 'Iron Man is a very technological hero; his movies are always technologically based. The first was all about introducing and Thor in that more fantastical realm into the more reality-based MCU As we go into Ultron clearly he does come out of technology, but we're using all of our tools at our disposal that we've established so far as part of the MCU to build the storyline of Age of Ultron.'

The joy of the Avengers is they really don't belong in the same room. It's not like the, who are all tortured by the same thing and have similar costumes. These guys are just all over the place. And so it's tough. Honestly, this is as tough as anything I've ever done.'

Cinematographer, who also worked with Marvel on, shot the film with a main unit of three cameras.

What wasn't negotiable was the fact that we were shooting digital: that's how Marvel shoots all of its films.' Davis also used 's to meet the needs of the second unit kit explaining, 'The second unit typically needs a fleet of smaller cameras that are less expensive and are rugged enough to handle the various trials by fire, as it were, that we throw at them.' About the camera system, Whedon stated that this film was shot very differently from the first one; using lots of long lenses, and that he aimed to shoot the film almost like a documentary. To create the scenes depicting how Quicksilver views the world, scenes were shot with an ultra-high-speed camera and later combined with shots of Taylor-Johnson moving through the same scene at normal speed.

However, Hiddleston's scenes did not make the theatrical cut of the film, with Whedon saying what was shot 'didn't play' and he did not want the film to feel 'overstuffed'. According to Hiddleston, 'In, audiences had overemphasized Loki's role, so they thought that because I was in it, I was controlling Ultron, and it was actually imbalancing people's expectations.' Whedon later explained that Elba and Atwell appear in the film because of exploring the psyches of the Avengers from Scarlet Witch's power.

In December 2014, Kim's role was revealed as Dr. Additional scenes were scheduled to be filmed in January 2015.

Whedon tried to come up with a post-credit scene but felt that he could not top the 'Shawarma scene' in The Avengers, explaining, 'It didn't seem to lend itself in the same way, and we wanted to be true to what felt right.

The first rule of making a sequel is take the best moments and do something else. Don't do the gun trick again differently. Just go somewhere else. Don't try to hit the same highs, because people will sense it.' However, Feige clarified, 'There will be a tag [shortly after the credits start].

But there's not a post– post–credit scene.' In May 2015, Whedon revealed he was in conflict with Marvel executives and the film's editors about certain scenes in the film. The executives were not 'thrilled' with the scenes at Hawkeye's farm or the dream sequences the Avengers experience because of Scarlet Witch. Also, Whedon had originally shot a much longer scene with Thor and Selvig in the cave, compromising with including a reduced amount of the total footage shot, as test audiences did not respond to it.

About the motion capture process, Ruffalo called it 'more of a collaboration' since the technology is advancing, with 'the face capture and the motion capture can now [being] put together, [allowing] you [to] get a lot more latitude as a performer you're no longer constricted by the attributes that you have as a person: your age, or weight, or size. None of that matters anymore.

And so there's this whole exciting place to go that is kind of unknown.' Visual effects supervisor said that the visual effects team considered depicting the Hulk when manipulated by Wanda Maximoff as being grey skinned with red eyes, but eventually decided against it, as they did not want to confuse audiences who might associate it with 'Joe Fixit', the grey Hulk from the comics. Method Studios created the interior of the new Avengers training facility by digitally designing the training facility, extracting the characters from the original set and placing them into the new CG environment. Method also contributed to Iron Man's new Mark 45 suit and played a key role in creating Scarlet Witch's CG mind control effect. Following the trend in recent years, most of the computer screens in Stark's lab, Dr Cho's laboratory, the Quinjet and other locations in the film were not added in post-production but were actually working screens on set, adding to the realism of the film and saving some on the post-production budget. London-based delivered the screen visuals filled with unique imagery and animations that matched the character using them.

Perception worked on the main-on-end and main titles for the film. Before settling on the marble monument depiction for the main-on-end titles, Perception created three other versions, which were based on Ultron's hive mind ability from the film, 'renderings of power and pure energy' inspired by classic comic panels, and classic moments for each character. The final design was inspired by war monuments such as the. For the main titles, Marvel wanted the typeface to be a direct continuation of the first film.

Scott Mendelson of felt the trailer was 'such a textbook 'dark sequel' trailer that it borders on parody' but said, 'it's a pretty spectacular piece of marketing, one that elevates itself both by the music choices and by James Spader's vocals as the title villain'.

I have expressed my concern dating back to October that Marvel and Disney would release too many trailers and would by default give away too much plot and character information between October and May. But if this really is the final Avengers 2 trailer, then at least on the trailer front they have kept the film relatively unspoiled.'
