Avengers: Age Of Ultron (Expanded)

Avengers: Age Of Ultron (Expanded) is the Director's Cut of Avengers: Age Of Ultron. It is directed by Joss Whedon.

Plot
The Avengers – consisting of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk,Black Widow, and Hawkeye – raid a HYDRA outpost in Sokovia, whereWolfgang von Strucker is overseeing experiments on Loki's scepter. Two of HYDRA's test subjects – twins Pietro and Wanda Maximoff – have been granted super-human abilities by the scepter; Pietro can run at extreme speeds, while Wanda has psionic abilities such as telekinesis and hypnosis. The Avengers apprehend Strucker, while Tony Stark sneaks into HYDRA's laboratory and takes the scepter. Wanda follows Stark and makes him hallucinate a dark future where all of the Avengers are dead and a Chitauri fleet is attacking Earth. Returning to Avengers Tower, Stark and Bruce Banner find an artificial intelligence inside the scepter's gem, and extract it for use in Stark's secret peacekeeping program – "Ultron" – designed to allow the Iron Legion to operate independently and safeguard Earth. While the Avengers throw a party and celebrate their recent victories, the already self-aware Ultron activates, but believes that the only way to save Earth is to eradicate humanity. He destroys J.A.R.V.I.S., takes control of the Iron Legion armors and attacks the Avengers. After the battle, the team confronts Stark about his secrecy, while Ultron – having stolen the scepter – goes to Sokovia and builds a new body in HYDRA's laboratory. He recruits the Maximoff twins, who have a vendetta against Stark because a Stark Industries bomb killed their parents, and they travel to South Africa to acquire vibranium from arms dealer Ulysses Klaue. The Avengers try to stop them, but Wanda hypnotizes Thor, Black Widow and Captain America, giving them vivid hallucinations. She then hypnotizes Banner, turning him into the Hulk and sending him to attack a nearby city. Iron Man dons the powerful "Veronica" armor and defeats the Hulk, but the destruction they cause starts a public backlash against the Avengers, who are forced to go into hiding. The team takes refuge at Clint Barton's Homestead, where they meet his wife Laura and children Cooper and Lila. Thor leaves, travelling to the mystical "Water of Sights" to determine the meaning of his hallucination. Romanoff and Banner plan to run away and start a new life together when Ultron is defeated. Nick Fury arrives at the homestead and encourages the Avengers to form a plan to stop Ultron. Banner deduces that Ultron is planning to create another body made of synthetic tissue, using the "Cradle" device developed by Dr. Helen Cho. Ultron, Pietro and Wanda go to Cho's laboratory in Seoul, South Korea, and take control of her mind with the scepter. As Ultron transfers his consciousness into the synthetic body and Cho implants the scepter's gem into its forehead, Wanda looks into Ultron's mind and discovers his plan to destroy humanity. The twins turn against Ultron, who leaves the laboratory with the Cradle. Arriving in Seoul, Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye battle Ultron, and the twins aid them in rescuing passengers from a derailed train. Ultron captures Black Widow, while Hawkeye retrieves the Cradle and takes it back to Avengers Tower. Stark and Banner upload J.A.R.V.I.S. – which survived Ultron's earlier attack – into the synthetic body. Believing Stark is about to create another Ultron, Captain America and the twins try to stop them, but Thor arrives and brings the body to life with lightning. He explains that the scepter's gem is the Mind Stone – one of the sixInfinity Stones, the most powerful objects in existence – which Thor saw in his hallucination, and its power could be advantageous against Ultron. The twins and the synthetic body, who is later given the name "Vision", ally themselves with the Avengers, who return to Sokovia to defeat Ultron's robot army. He has built a machine to lift a large part of Novi Grad, the Sokovian capital, into the sky and crash it into the ground to replicate a meteor strike, causing a mass extinction event. While Banner rescues Romanoff, the Avengers evacuate civilians from the city and fight Ultron, but they are unable to evacuate everyone before the city begins to ascend. Fury and the revived S.H.I.E.L.D., joined by War Machine, arrive in a Helicarrier to assist in evacuating the last few civilians. Ultron commandeers the Avengers' Quinjet and kills Pietro. The grieving Wanda destroys Ultron's primary body and many of his drones for revenge. As the landmass plummets, Iron Man and Thor overload Ultron's machine and shatter the city into rubble, which falls safely into a lake. The Hulk, seeking peace after the battle, gets Romanoff to safety and departs in an auto-piloted Quinjet. Vision confronts and destroys Ultron's last remaining body.

The Avengers establish a new base in upstate New York, run by Fury, Cho, Maria Hill and Erik Selvig. Romanoff assumes Banner is dead because the Quinjet cannot be tracked, and silently mourns for him, but Fury assures her that he is likely still alive. Believing the Mind Stone is safe with Vision, Thor returns to Asgard to learn more about the Infinity Stones, while Barton and Stark also leave the team. Captain America and Black Widow assemble a new Avengers team, consisting of Wanda, Falcon, War Machine and Vision.

In a post-credits scene, Thanos retrieves the Infinity Gauntlet saying "Fine, I'll do it myself" and then begins his hunt for the Infinity Stones.
