11 Years Later, Marvel’s Most Divisive Action Sequel Is a Streaming Hit

Collider · 6 hours ago

Avengers: Age of Ultron has re-emerged as one of the ten most-streamed films in the US on Starz, more than a decade after its 2015 release, as Marvel fans build renewed enthusiasm ahead of Avengers: Doomsday. The resurgence reflects a wider surge of interest across streaming platforms, including HBO Max and Disney+, fuelled by anticipation for the studio's upcoming slate of films.

The 2015 sequel, often regarded as the most divisive entry in the Avengers series, sees the assembled heroes battle the AI villain Ultron, voiced by James Spader. Its renewed popularity comes as Marvel builds towards Spider-Man: Brand New Day, released on 31 July and tipped to earn over $1 billion, followed by Avengers: Doomsday on 18 December, reportedly the second-longest MCU film at 165 minutes, which shares its release date with Dune: Part Three.
