When Avengers Assemble (or just The Avengers as its known elsewhere) was released in the UK a few years ago, there was a huge uproar that it didn’t contain the commentary track from director Joss Whedon. Well, the UK release of its sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron has stirred up even more controversy.
The special edition covers, released yesterday, show Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Hulk, but not female characters Scarlet Witch or Black Widow. It also doesn’t contain Hawkeye, Quicksilver or Vision. The regular edition cover has the poster, which has Black Widow, Hawkeye and Nick Fury, but still no sign of Scarlet Witch.
Check out the images below:
