Dancing and bad CGI fill the latest Avengers: Age of Ultron blooper reel

Gag Reel 2 - Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron
After showing Avengers: Age of Ultron fans what happens when line-reading goes wrong in a clip from the film’s blooper reel, Marvel Studios has released another series of out-takes from the blockbuster superhero movie.

This time around, the clip features various members of the cast feel the urge to dance at unexpected points during production, as well as the obligatory dialogue flubs and a few instances of impressively bad CGI. (Apparently, it’s not always easy to catch Thor’s magical hammer, Mjolnir.)

Marvel released the blooper reels from Age of Ultron and various other clips and content as part of the lead-up to the film’s release on DVD and Blu-ray later this week, and we’re likely to see a few more pieces of video before the movie hits shelves.

The follow-up to one of the most successful superhero movies of all time, Avengers: Age of Ultron brought the team of Marvel superheroes back together again to battle an evil android bent on eradicating humanity from the planet. Voiced by James Spader, Ultron is the product of a global peacekeeping program gone wrong, and in order to defeat him the Avengers must form some uneasy alliances and put their loyalty to each other to the test.

Along with Spader as the voice of Ultron, the film features franchise cast members Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. It also features the return of Don Cheadle as War Machine, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, and Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig.

Along with getting the old team back together, Age of Ultron also introduces a few new members to the team, including Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), Pietro Maximoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and Vision (Paul Bettany).

Written and directed by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron is currently the third highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide and the eighth highest-grossing film of the year in the U.S. It arrives on DVD and Blu-ray this Friday, October 2.

However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
