The action-packed trailer for Marvel and Disney’s Avengers: Age of Ultron was unexpectedly released Wednesday night (October 22nd), six nights earlier than expected.
The teaser was planned to debut during next Tuesday’s broadcast of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD on ABC, however, Hydra decided to leak the clip much sooner. Marvel posted on their Twitter account to acknowledge the leak and state their disapproval.
Dammit, Hydra.
