Mystery Woman Axed From Avengers: Age of Ultron

Every trailer for ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ (or ‘Marvel Avengers: The Age of Ultron’ as it’s been mysteriously renamed in the UK) has been overanalysed to death.

Fans and movie sites (like us) pored over every frame to glean as much information about Joss Whedon’s sequel as we could before its release on 23 April. Now, it appears that one mystery in the film’s second trailer has been excised from the final film completely. Namely, the mystery lady spotted below at 0:33.

Who is the mystery woman?” we asked back in January, with our writer suggesting the disrobing woman could be Black Panther’s sister Shuri, a Dora Milaje bodyguard, or even Death.

A number of US outlets who've already seen the film are reporting that this mystery character has been cut from the film.

“Remember when the second trailer came out and there was a mysterious woman disrobing beside a pool of water inside a cave?” explains EW, “She’s no one. That is, she’s not in the movie. In fact, Thor’s whole journey to this cave is a bit of a headscratcher, which suggests a subplot that was seriously truncated. Maybe when the Blu-ray comes out, we’ll get our answer.”

EW’s feature includes a lot of spoileriffic details about ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, so if you want to avoid plot details, don’t follow that link.

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ is coming to UK cinemas on 23 April.
