Robert Downey Jr. Posts Official Iron Man Poster in Avengers 2: Age of Ultron

The Avengers: Age of Ultron will hit theaters on May 1, and the superhero sequel will feature a host of new characters, both good and evil. Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man has been at the center of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2008, and the actor has now revealed an official poster of his character for the movie.

Downey Jr. also teased that a "big announcement" would arrive in one week. You can check it out here.

In related news, director Joss Whedon spoke to Empire Online and talked about the need to de-power Ultron a bit for the sake of the movie.

"The powers in comic books – they’re always like, ‘And then I can reverse the polarity of your ions!’ Well, we have to ground things a lot more. With Ultron, we have to make him slightly less omnipotent because he’d win. Bottom line. Also, having weaknesses and needs and foibles and alliances and actually caring what people think of him, all these things, are what make him a character and not just a tidal wave. A movie about a tidal wave can be great, but it’s different than a conflict between one side and the other. When Ultron speaks, he has a point. He is really not on top of the fact that the point he’s making has nothing to do with the fact that he’s banoonoos. And that he hates the Avengers for bringing him into this world, and he can’t really articulate that or even understand how much he hates humanity. He thinks he all that. That guy is very fun to write. He combines all the iconic stuff. The powers he has are slightly different. He can control certain things, he’s not just firing repulsors."
