The new trailer for The Next Avengers: Heroes Of Tomorrow shows more of the dystopian world after the android Ultron has killed most of the Avengers... and it looks very Terminator-esque. Even more than in the first trailer, we get more of a sense of the stakes involved in the battle between the Avengers' kids and a suddenly badass Ultron. The son of Captain America and Black Widow, the blond daughter of Thor, Black Panther's son, Hawkeye's son and Giant-Man and Wasp's son combine with a elderly Hulk and Iron Man to avenge the death of their parents and become the next Avengers. Good to see a white-haired Hulk still screaming, "Hulk is strongest there is." The Next Avengers: Heroes Of Tomorrow comes to DVD September 2. More »

The children of the Avengers have to... umm, avenge their parents, in a new direct-to-DVD animated movie from Marvel Studios. Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow takes place after the Avengers have all settled down and gotten married (including Captain America marrying the Black Widow) and had tons of kids. Then Ultron, the crazy killer robot, comes back and wipes the retired superheroes out. The world's only hope: the Avengers' plucky kids, whom the heroes sent into hiding when Ultron's smackdown went into effect. I'm a sucker for next-gen stories like Batman Beyond, so I'm cautiously intrigued despite the cheesy trailer. [SuperheroFlix] More »
