UK Blu-ray for Avengers: Age of Ultron causes “sexist controversy”

August 10, 2015 by Luke Owen

When Avengers Assemble (or just The Avengers as its known elsewhere) was released in the UK a few years ago, there was a huge uproar that it didn’t contain the commentary track from director Joss Whedon. Well, the UK release of its sequel Avengers: Age of Ultron has stirred up even more controversy.

The special edition covers, released yesterday, show Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Hulk, but not female characters Scarlet Witch or Black Widow. It also doesn’t contain Hawkeye, Quicksilver or Vision. The regular edition cover has the poster, which has Black Widow, Hawkeye and Nick Fury, but still no sign of Scarlet Witch.

Check out the images below:

Avengers: Age of Ultron 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).
