2 Fun Facts About Age Of Ultron!

Scarlett Johansson was pregnant during the filming of age of ultron! so she shot many of her scenes early and filmmakers used three stunt doubles and CGI to hide her pregnancy in later scenes.

Another fun fact is that when James Spader (Ultron) was filming, he had to wear an antenna-like contraption with balls on top so the other actors had a reference point for his eye level, as the character was supposed to be 8 to 9 feet tall.

"RED BALLS! RED BALLS!"

Another fun fact, in the opening act Cap reminds Tony to keep a watch over his "language", only to call Fury a "son of a b\*tch" in the climax (peak character arc)

DrManhattan_DDM2025-11-17 22:45

I feel like that’s far too obvious and in the forefront of the scene for it to be regarded as some missable detail. Fury responds to it directly with, “ooh, you kiss your mother with that mouth?”

I always hated that line because of all people Fury had to know that Cap's mother died decades ago, before he even took the serum. (I think it's a quick flashback in WS when Bucky is walking Steve home after his mom's funeral and tells him he doesn't have to go it alone.)

Does anyone in that room have a confirmed living parent beyond Thor?

jahnybravo2025-11-19 04:54

Didn't last very long for Thor either...

They probably tried to make Samuel Jackson say his signature phrase in a PG-13 way

Coincidentally, I just got done watching this again. A tiny little detail that everyone probably already knows is that Tony says 'Hello dear' to the tractor because it's a John Deere tractor.

friskyspatula2025-11-17 22:20

If I remember correctly, the closed caption spells it Deere.

Illustrious-Bad-16572025-11-17 23:49

that’s such a cool little detail, marvel really loves those clever nods tbh

AceofKnaves442025-11-18 00:17

That was an adlib by RDJ too. Joss Whedon said it made him furious that he didn’t think of it first.

CaledonianWarrior2025-11-18 00:50

Yeah I noticed that the very first time I watched it.

Some of the techniques they used to hide ScarJo’s pregnancy were just framing her in the camera from her chest up. Very noticeable in a couple shots early in the last act of the movie where Nat and Hulk are rejoining the team and she is looking up at Hulk.

Rattlingjoint2025-11-17 23:14

They even went even cheekier than that at times.

The scene where she was put down on the helicarrier, shes holding up arm across her body in an awkward pose to hide her bump.

They also have her behind tables or bars in scenes, wearing baggy clothes or place her behind items in the foreground. I feel like Whedon was just finding funny ways to hide it as a joke.

No fruit basket, Austin Powers style?

Black Widow carrying a laundry basket around

GU355WH01AM2025-11-18 23:45

Its the same thing they did when they hid Courtney Cox's pregnancy during friends.

>three stunt doubles

They would actually be a stunt double, triple, and quadruple

Dad, Mom says it's time for bed.

All six of them are playing tennis? Three teams X 2 per.

Shifter252025-11-18 00:33

I would imagine that would be more like a first cousin once removed. Your stunt double's stunt double would be your stunt triple.

Tony: If we make this out alive, I’ll hold your own.

You HAD to make it weird

LOOK ME IN MY BALLS WHEN I'M TALKING AT YOU.

madmaxandrade2025-11-18 18:26

Also, the defense where Ultron recruits the twins took a long time to film because Elizabeth Olsen kept making visual contact with James Spader's eyes instead of the tennis balls, to the point where Aaron Taylor Johnson reportedly screamed *"Look at his balls, Lizzie!"* during a take.

bidooffactory2025-11-18 22:52

*Nice*

thearniec2025-11-18 14:16

This is also the reason for her terrible character arc and why she becomes a prisoner for the third act. I read Whedon was pretty upset because he had to rewrite her whole involvement and didn’t get to make the character as heroic as he wanted to.

Rough_Half_77932025-11-19 14:25

I know someone who's aunt was an extra when Hulk lost his mind in South Africa ahaha
