'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' Website Launches With Propulsive Score Sample
That image above is the new(ish) update for the Avengers: Age of Ultron logo, which comes from the film's just-launched official site. At this point there's not a lot to see at the new portal, but there is something to hear. The new Age of Ultron website is backed by a looped track of music that provides a great indicator of the tone of the film — there's a mechanized underpinning to the cue, which starts with a slow, moody pulse before opening up to swells of synthesizers and insistent strings.
Here's all the text from the Age of Ultron website; head there to hear the music. The song isn't the reworked 'I've Got no Strings,' either. There's no download of the track yet, but enterprising readers should be able to figure out how to pull the source song pretty easily.
When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.
