Avengers: Age of Ultron finally has a release date in China.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Joss Whedon-directed film has passed censorship in the world's second-largest film market (by box office) and has set May 12th as its official Chinese release date. The highly anticipated Marvel tentpole is currently in the process of being translated and is being imported by the state-owned China Film Group. This date follows its May 1st release in the U.S. and its April 24th release in the U.K. and India. 

For comparison's sake, 2012's The Avengers grossed over $84 million in China. The Chinese box office has since grown and the super sequel is expected to do considerably more especially after another American release, Transformers: Age of Extinction, managed to pull in over $300 million in China just last year. Marvel's other Phase 2 films have also done very well over there with Iron Man 3 grossing over $121 million, Thor: The Dark World taking in over $55 million, Captain America: The Winter Soldier pulling in over $115 million, and Guardians of the Galaxy raking in over $96 million. 


Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Director: Joss Whedon
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man

I'm not surprised they cast an Asian character in this. Micheal Bay proved that people in China will gobble up anything that has Asian people in it.

The last Transformers movie didn't just have asian people in it. The whole third act of the movie was filmed in Hong Kong and it had a few Chinese product placements. That's why it did so good over there.

Disney should consider moving the US release up to Wednesday to counter losing people on Saturday to the Pacman-Mayweather fight.

Today's #SUICIDESQUAD FIRE is all about Jared Leto's THE JOKER! So what I'm being told, Leto's Joker is most definitely based on THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS version. He's lean & scarred but his suit does have broad shoulders. Joker works out in his cell like an inmate when he is interrogated by Amanda Waller. He's doing hand stand push ups so it makes sense that Jared Leto said he is putting on weight. He's definitely not skinny, but in fact more muscular. He has bleached skin not make up. #SPOILER - He's killed one of Batman's sidekicks, there is a lot of references to his past crimes. He kills a lot of people. HUGE #RUMOR - I'm also told The Joker has a lot of scenes with HUGO STRANGE! He's the psychiatrist at the prison & seems to be a part of the story yet I heard nothing of casting or mention of a single casting choice. Hugo Strange has quite a few interactions with the Joker & Harley Quinn. It's not the regular security. It's internal one on one thing. #THEJOKER #THEDARKKNIGHTRETURNS #JAREDLETO #HUGOSTRANGE #AMANDAWALLER #HARLEYQUINN #DC #DCCU #DCCOMICS #SCOOP #FIRE #BOOM

I think Hulk gets shot into space by the end of Ultron. It's starting to become more and more likely.
Also, there's going to be so many leaks online once this movie is released in the UK, gonna have to stay off internet from the 24th of April to April 30th.

I know, I saw it and thought it was gonna be crap, but the theory is there and seems to line up with the overall plot leading to infinity wars.
Loki's such a trickster…

China is the second most important market now, so having it out early will garner out a good some of money.

The fact that Transformers was partly filmed in China possibly helped it's box office. I'm kinda curious how Avengers will do in South Korea.

SO???

Marvel sucked the Chicoms' dicks and made The Mandarin a freaking JOKE trying to get a market share in Communist China.

And, now, India will be a BIGGER market than Communist freaking CHINA, and NO ONE in India demanded a freaking script change.

[frick] COMMUNIST CHINA, the Slave State of the 21st Century.

I'm Martha Smith. I'm saying this on behalf of my beautiful daughter, Louise Smith. This movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron, will be a super-mega success. I hoped to buy the DVD for my beautiful daughter, Louise Smith, on her 42nd birthday this November. Another reason why I'm posting this comment on her behalf is because all of you have read the recent rumors about Chris Evans dating someone. All these bizarre rumors about Chris Evans are breaking my beautiful daughter's (Louise Smith) heart, and she has a lot of health problems. She is suffering from everything to fibroids to eczema to lipoma to anemia to deep vein thrombosis to possibly cancer (endometrial and/or breast), and the very last thing she needs right now is a broken heart.
