5 Big Things Avengers 2 Still Hasn't Shown Us

Joss Whedon never will be mistaken for J.J. Abrams, the king of the frustrating "Mystery Box." But the director of The Avengers: Age of Ultron has been keeping a few tricks up his sleeve as he prepares to unleash his sequel on the masses in May. Late last year, there was that glorious trailer introducing the next major threat for Earth's Mightiest Heroes – Ultron (voiced by James Spader). And now we have learned that we are days away from a new, longer trailer that will run during the first annual college football championship. Great placement, Marvel. Win, win. But ...

One Of 2014's Best Movies Will Be Shown For Free In Certain Theaters

As late in the game as it came during 2014, Ava DuVernay's Selma has made itself an awards front runner.
