In a move that's so meta (or "Inception"-like), Marvel has released a trailer for a trailer. The masters of hype at Marvel have a 15-second teaser for its next "Avengers: Age of Ultron" trailer. The short clip, which shows the members of the superhero team mirrored in a chrome version of the Avengers logo, doesn't give much away about the movie's plot, but it does confirm when we can expect to see another, extended look at Joss Whedon's upcoming flick. Specifically: Jan. 12, during the college football national championship on ESPN.
Marvel's last attempt to keep an Avengers trailer under wraps didn't work out so well; the two-minute video, which showed the whole superhero crew in action versus the nefarious robot Ultron, was leaked online in October. Marvel responded right quick, posting a 1080p quality version of the trailer on its YouTube channel, almost a week before the video was planned to go live. The company has 10 days now to keep its secret safe before the trailer airs at 8:30 p.m. ET. Thanks to ComingSoon.net for the heads-up.
Check out the "trailer trailer" below, and hopefully the universe won't collapse in on itself when you do:
