Avengers: Age of Ultron has reached a box office milestone today, with the Joss Whedon-directed superhero sequel becoming the twenty-first film to pass the $1 billion mark world wide, and the third Marvel Studios movie to hit ten figures after The Avengers and Iron Man 3.
It’s taken twenty-four days for Age of Ultron to reach a billion, some seven days longer than Fast & Furious 7’s record-breaking feat last month (and five days more than its predecessor in 2012). Furious 7 remains some $460 million ahead of the Avengers sequel worldwide, although Age of Ultron leads the way in terms of domestic box office and should find itself cracking the all-time global top ten when the dust settles on this weekend.
Avengers: Age of Ultron is out now and sees Joss Whedon directing a cast that includes Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (The Incredible Hulk), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Paul Bettany (JARVIS / The Vision), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Hayley Atwell (Peggy Carter), Idris Elba (Heimdall), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), James Spader (Ultron), Stellen Skarsgard (Erik Selvig), Thomas Kretschmann (Baron Strucker), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Claudia Kim (Dr. Cho), Andy Serkis (Uylsses Klaw), Henry Goodman (Dr. List), Julie Delpy (Madame B) and Linda Cardellini (Laura Barton).
