    Stan Lee's Best Cameo To Date

    Everyone loves a good Stan Lee cameo in the MCU movies. The great thing about his appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron is the fact that Lee is actually a WWII vet! Not only that, but he got to drunkenly mumble his catchphrase "excelsior."

    Falcon's Missing Person Case

    For those of you wondering why Anthony Mackie's Falcon didn't have a larger role in Age of Ultron need to look no further than Captain America: Winter Soldier. Falcon says that he has been busy with a 'missing person's case' which hints at the continued effort to find Bucky Barnes.

    The Avengers Visit Wakanda

    In Ultron's journey to acquire vibranium (the stuff that Captain America's Shield is made from), the robot villain takes a trip to acquire a shipment from Ulysses Klaue in the fictional African country of Wakanda. Those in the know are aware that Wakanda is the home to future Avenger Black Panther, and could possibly be the set location for his solo film.

    Puny Banner

    During the Hulk vs. Hulkbuster Iron Man fight scene, Tony angers the Green Goliath by bringing up his alter ego. Tony jokes to himself that he shouldn't have brought up "puny Banner," which is a reference to the comics, and all those times the Hulk called Bruce the same thing.

    Thanos Becomes A Player

    Marvel Fans have been been getting post credit scenes with Thanos - and explaining to our friends who Thanos is - for a while now. However, with Avengers: Age of Ultron's mid-credits scene, Thanos actually enters the fray. With Infinity Gauntlet in hand (just with less Infinity), Thanos looks like he will be taking manners into his own 'hand.' (See what I did there?!)

    Klaue Looses An Arm

    Remember that scene in Age of Ultron when the titular villain karate chops Gollum's arm off? Of course, this being a Marvel movie, it was leading into Andy Serkis' playing Klaue in (probably) the Black Panther movie. In the comics, Klaue's arm is replaced with sonic weapon and his clothes are replaced with the most hideously clashing jumpsuit.
