So the first official trailer of Avengers: Age of Ultron was leaked a week early. Big deal. Publicly, Marvel didn't seem to care too much because they blamed Hydra for the leak on their Twitter account. Meanwhile, behind closed doors at Marvel, you can bet there was a new hole or two in their conference room wall.
But this is today's Internet... it hungers for content and especially leaked content.
Anyway, Marvel did the right thing and officially released the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer hours after the initial leak because once something is leaked online, it's nearly impossible to wipe it clean from the web. Within 24 hours of the trailer being posted to Marvel's YouTube page, it broke worldwide viewing records, by 20 million views.
Earth's Mightiest Heroes returned to the spotlight this week with the brand new teaser trailer for Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and once again obliterated records.
In just 24 hours, the first Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" trailer racked up an astonishing 34.3 million global views, smashing the previous record by over 20 million views in the same time period. What film held the previous record? Why, Marvel's "Iron Man 3," of course. Only Tony Stark can outdo Tony Stark.
But, to be honest, we couldn't do it without you. Marvel fans around the globe helped drive this unprecedented level of excitement and exuberance for the film, slated to hit theaters May 1, 2015. So a hearty thanks from the House of Ideas.
And because we believe that the best way to say thanks is to give you more, we're delivering new Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" action to your TV sets, two weeks in a row!
