Some of the first photos of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” director Joss Whedon’s follow up to his 2012 box office juggernaut “Avengers,” have been released. While they don’t tell much, they do suggest that it’s not going to be an easy romp for our motley band of heroes. They also give the first looks at Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver, (and, just for fun, another look at Jeremy Renner as returning character Clint Barton/Hawkeye).
