Marvel’sThe Avengers : Age of Ultronwill shortly complain off the summer 2015 flick season , and it arguably already reigns asTHE king of summer . The firstAvengersmovie shatter box situation records and even shifted the total paradigm of how movie franchises are structure and design . That ’s no modest bequest forAvengers 2to endure up to , but director Joss Whedon and his roll of Marvel all - stars ( with help fromsome strong young additions ) seem poised to make a legitimate go at overstep the first film .
However , while we wantAvengers 2to be good as a standalone picture , it ’s also the next magnanimous adjunction full stop in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . That means there are more than a few story threads that need to be link and/or introduce into the intermixture , and asAge of Ultronhas get nigh , it ’s become clear that there are quite a few share population tale points fans are hoping to see . Here are10 Marvel Cinematic Universe Easter Eggs Fans need to See inAvengers 2 .

10. Black Panther’s World
Marvel has a lot of new heroes coming in the aftermath ofAvengers 2 ; Ant - Man , Doctor Strange , Captain Marvel , The Inhumans and of courseBlack Pantherall stomach on deck of cards for movie adaptations .
In the case ofBlack Panther ( Chadwick Boseman ) , we do n’t gestate the part to really appear ( in or out of costume ) untilCaptain America : Civil War ; however , his populace and backstory we fully anticipate to be reference inAvengers 2 .
Klaw
Traces of Black Panther ’s African native land , Wakanda , can already be found in the metal call Vibranium , which was used to make Cap ’s iconic carapace . InAvengers 2,we know thatAndy Serkis will act Ulysses Klaw , a role who , in the comic , steals Vibranium from Wakanda and kill Black Panther ’s father - after becoming the sonic - powered villain , Klaw .
By all implication from trailers , Klaw aid Ultron promote his body with Vibranium - but how that finish is achieved could set into motion result that eventually wreak Black Panther into inter-group communication with The Avengers .
9. Cpt. Marvel Reporting for Duty
Carol Danvers is a polar characterto introduce into the MCU ; she has historically been part of The Air Force , S.H.I.E.L.D. , and has superpowers that come from cosmic origins . That essentially makes her ( and her superhero alter - ego , Captain Marvel ) the bridge between the Marvel Cosmic Universe ( Guardians of the Galaxy ) and more grounded properties likeCaptain America , Iron Manor evenAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Like Black Panther , many do n’t await Marvel to go full - on intoCaptain Marvelduring the events ofAge of Ultron;however fans do expect the graphic symbol to pop up in some mode , conformation or form . Most likely she ’d first appear as some kind of military liaison and/or fighter , but one can never be too certain how things get spun for the MCU continuity .
Even if current hearsay are inaccurate , and the character ofCarol Danvers has NOT been vagabond yet , Avengers 2could still serve as some variety of introduction to the germ of Captain Marvel ’s cosmic vitality .
8. Ant-Man on Deck
The rescript of Marvel ’s 2015 pic card ( Avengers 2followed byAnt - Man ) represent a direct contradiction to Marvel Comics history . In the Book , Ultron ( and The Vision ) are world that engender from Hank Pym , the original Ant - Man . In the MCU , we wo n’t get to adjoin Pym ( Michael Douglas ) untilafterUltron has come in ( and presumably gone ) . But that does n’t meanAnt - Manand Ultron ca n’t still share a few connections .
Age of Ultrontrailers have already shown flashbackswhich bring historic elements of the MCU ( likeHayley Atwell ’s Agent Carter)to the forefront . One of those diachronic effect could conceivably be research done by Hank Pym ( " The Ultron Program " ) that helps level Tony Stark toward what he needs to create Ultron .
Even though that ’s all speculation on our part , uncalled-for to say that more than a few fans are hope some ghost ofthe Hank Pym / Ultron origin connectionstays entire .
7.Agents of Carter
Thus far , Marvel TV has been treated as a somewhat second - level product when compared to the motion picture . Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.has get over that early misstep by splice itself to major flick events likeCaptain America2 ’s HYDRA coup , or the growth ofThe Inhumansin the MCU ; meanwhile , Agent Carterserved as a direct epilog to the event ofCaptain America : The First Avenger .
yield the events of the firstAvengersfilm , there is still one big elephant - in - room within the MCU : Phil Coulson ’s Christ’s Resurrection and Kree connections . Even if the latter point needs more meter and way to be explored , many fans hope that the world - threatening events ofAge of Ultronwill at least forcefulness Coulson to re - connect with the super team he first invigorate to work together .
HYDRA Leader Baron von Strucker
Klaw
At the very least , HYDRA ’s experiments on superpowered beingsis something thatAoSandAoUwill emphatically have in common- and there ’s been unclouded evidence in trailers thatPeggy Carter will come along inAvengers 2 . All in all , fans can probably suspire easy that Marvel TV is getting SOME variety of school principal - nod in the motion picture .
( Unfortunately , Daredevilseems to have arrived too late to hope for a cameo from The Man Without Fear ) .
6. Strange Magic
round out our Phase 3 young recruits : AvengersAge of Ultronis also the venue where we expect to be introduced to yet another new factor in the MCU ( besides power and cosmic beings ): illusion .
The character of Scarlet Witch ( Elizabeth Olsen ) has been front and center on in theAvengers 2marketing , and her array of psychic / telekinetic superpower have continue deep when it derive to explanation and/or backstory ( commend : the MCU has no variation , due to legal issues with Fox ) .
However , atToy Fair 2015 we did notice a significant connectionbetween Witch ’s powers andDoctor Strange , the primary religious mystic in the Marvel Universe , who will star in his own 2016 film play by Benedict Cumberbatch .
Klaw
Based on trailersand toy designs , Scarlet Witch ’s powers in the movie seem to have the same kind of stylized muscularity signature as her funny Holy Writ counterpart ; in cartoon strip , the Witch ’s powers beg into the same mystical force Doctor Strange does . ( Note the similar " magical energy " in the comic book art . )
As it stands , the line of latitude between Scarlet Witch andDoctor Strangeare ostensibly too seeming forAvengers 2to brush off them , completely .

5. Beginning of the End… of Times
Ever since Marvel reveal thatThor : Ragnarokwill be the next installment of the Thunder God ’s film franchise , many devotee have been hop that their third outing with Thor will be the biggest and good yet .
retaliator 2will findThor hold out amongst humanity full - timeas its shielder ; however , the Asgardian prince ’s love of mankind could be sorely test by the event ofAge of Ultron . By the metre the sequel is over , it would n’t be shocking if Thor either prefer to leave Earth , oris call aside by a expectant threat to the cosmos :
Rumors have already pass around thata few Asgardians will cameo inAvengers 2,so have Thor go from combat robot to the encyclopedism ofSurtur and his Fire Demonsattacking Asgard comes with a sane amount of rooter prospect .
4. Galactic Guardians
SinceGuardians of the Galaxybecame a hit movie for Marvel Studios , there ’s of course been a lot of fan chatter about how the enfranchisement will be interwoven into the larger MCU.Guardiansdirector James Gunn has openly stated that , at least for now , Guardiansis more of its own thing , in a separate corner of the MCU . Gunn made it clean thatGuardians 2will NOT be a verbatim prequel toAvengers : Infinity War , making it that much hard to assess when / where the crossing connections can be made .
However , even Gunn has had to backtrack and admit thatGuardiansmust one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. make contact withThe Avengers , and fans no doubt hope thatAge of Ultronwill lay foundation for that , so that things do n’t completely jump the shark when Rocket Raccoon is finally swop give-and-take with Tony Stark .
Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet / Stones are the most obvious way to touch base the two franchises , but there ’s still plenty of room for some even stronger ties between the MCU ’s two openhanded teams , as well as new heroes like Captain Marvel .
3. Beginning ofInfinity
One of the biggest thing that needs to be accomplished in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is convincingly tying more grounded tale likeIron ManorCaptain Americato the Marvel Cosmic macrocosm explore in films likeThor 1&2andGuardians of the Galaxy . Avengers 2could very well be the film that begins to open up the cosmos to ferment Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes into the Universe ’s Mightiest Heroes - and the samara may be find out in Loki ’s sceptre from the first moving-picture show .
Avengers 2trailershave had some curious footage of Tony Stark ( Robert Downey Jr. ) in his lab experimenting with the scepter , which he presumably recovers from the clutches of Baron von Strucker ( Thomas Kretschmann ) at the beginning of the film .
Marvel has already confirm thatLoki ’s scepter IS one of the Infinity Stones , and drawing from mirthful book mythos , it ’s speculate that inAvengers 2it is most potential be the mind ( possibly soulfulness ? ) gemstone that return Ultron and/or The Vision sentience as A.I. lifeforms .
There is also the lingering secret of what the strange gem plant in Vision ’s forehead is , and if it ’s the same I. F. Stone that is presumably inside the scepter . At the very least , we expect that at least one ( if not two ) of the stones will have a swelled impact on theAge of Ultronstoryline .
The Vision : Mind or Soul Gem Power ?
And once the Infinity Stones are once again in bid on Earth , Thanos and hisInfinity Warcan’t be far behind .
2. Civil Start toWar
The case ofAge of Ultron(Tony Stark creating an A.I. that threatens to put down the reality ) , is certain going to put a strain on The Avengers squad - one that could conceivably break it . Director Joss Whedon has hinted all along that the a darker , bleaker fate could await the squad andearly trailers / clipshave teased how that affects Steve Rogers and Tony Stark ’s relationship , in particular .
In the consequence ofAvengers 2 , Rogers and Stark will likely bestanding on paired side of some kind of line . By the timeCaptain America : Civil Wararrives , Rogers and his new squad of Avengers could be going to state of war against Stark and whatever authority he wields .
Captain America : Civil War
HYDRA Leader Baron von Strucker
For fan watchingAvengers 2 , the hope is to see good , weighty dramatic beginnings to the Cap / Iron Man split , and perhaps some final ( or post - credit ) scene of whatCaptain America ’s new Avengers rosterlooks like . If that happens , Marvel will have already sold meg of slate forCaptain America 3 .
1. Spidey Comes Home
One of the biggest headlines of the last few years has beenSony finally lending Spider - Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Where , when andhow Spidey will appear in the MCUhas been subject of debate and speculation - but needless to say , sports fan are keeping finger crossed that Marvel has worked some sort of institution to the reference into the pic .
Since we do n’t acknowledge for sure ifMarvel has cast a new histrion to play Spider - Man , it ’s unlikely that Spider - Man will appear onscreen ( in or out of costume ) duringAvengers 2 . Best case scenario : Spidey or Peter Parker is expose in some kind of post - credit scene filmed afterAvengers 2originally completed product .
Even ifa post - credits panorama is not in the circuit board , there are still any number of ways to inculpate or infer that the Web - Slinger is present and alive in the MCU . Heck , one random strand of webbing seen onscreen alongside theAge of Ultroncharacters would be enough to get Spidey cacoethes going .

Honorable Mentions
These are thing that are a bit more dark or improbable , but die - knockout fans may withal be hoping for them :
Inhumanity -Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.has been assign the task of introducingThe Inhumans and their Terrigenesis processinto the MCU . Because Fox wo n’t lease Marvel Studios mention the 10 - Men ( or mutants in general ) within their shared universe , Inhumans have been repositioned as the standpoint - in for mutants in the MCU , and ( slow but surely)in Marvel Comics , as well . It remains to be consider how HYDRA ’s experiments onQuicksilver and Scarlet Witch are explained- but there ’s obvious opportunity to cite Terrigenesis , thereby planting a come for the upcomingInhumansmovie .
Planet Hulk- An adaptation of the " Planet Hulk " comic book plot line is something that fans have long had their center on . In the famous story , Marvel heroes dart Hulk into space as a net root to his rampages ; however , the account of Hulk winning a treetop on an exotic worldly concern seemedtoo lowering with CGI and budget demandsto ever become a world . Still , Hulk himself ( Mark Ruffalo ) is keeping the idea alert , and even if we never really see " Planet Hulk " in the MCU , the effect can still conduct to the more doable " World War Hulk " plot line ( when Hulk reelect to Earth as a conquering warlord ) .
Marvel ’s “ Avengers : Age of Ultron ” stars Robert Downey Jr. , who returns as Iron Man , along with Chris Evans as Captain America , Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk . Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye , and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury , Don Cheadle as James Rhodes / War Machine , Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill and Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig , the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron , a terrific technical villain hell - bended on human extinguishing . Along the way , they confront two cryptical and powerful newcomers , Wanda Maximoff , play by Elizabeth Olsen , and Pietro Maximoff , played by Aaron Taylor - Johnson , and meet an older friend in a raw form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision .
