Get ready for the goosebumps - our first look at the sequel to 2012’s MASSIVE hit, The Avengers is here.

Entertainment Weekly once again delivers during Comic Con week with our first official image from The Avengers: Age of Ultron, with a new look at Captain America (Chris Evans) and Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) in their new gear, plus the titular Ultron, played by James Spader.

The above image was posted to Twitter just about noon today, but the link itself does not appear to be live just yet.

We’ll update as we have more…

UPDATE: The article is now live!

As figured, Ultron is Tony Stark’s AI gone terribly wrong. Straight from the article:

For better or worse (trust us, it’s worse), his Tony Stark has devised a plan that won’t require him to put on the Iron Man suit anymore, and should allow Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk to get some much needed R&R as well. His solution is Ultron, self-aware, self-teaching, artificial intelligence designed to help assess threats, and direct Stark’s Iron Legion of drones to battle evildoers instead.

The only problem? Ultron (played by James Spader through performance-capture technology) lacks the human touch, and his superior intellect quickly determines that life on Earth would go a lot smoother if he just got rid of Public Enemy No. 1: Human beings. “Ultron sees the big picture and he goes, Okay, we need radical change, which will be violent and appalling, in order to make everything better’; he’s not just going Muhaha, soon I’ll rule!’“ Whedon says, rubbing his hands together.

UPDATE 2: Entertainment Weekly has also released 8 new photos, which we’ve mirrored for you below. You get that Avengers money, Cheadle!
