Teasers for movie trailers aren’t all that unusual anymore. Hell, a new trailer for a highly anticipated movie gets way more fanfare than the release of a lot of smaller films. The latest case in point is Avengers: Age of Ultron. A new trailer drops Thursday, but in advance of that, we’ve got this quick snippet of new footage to check out, as well as your first look at some of the cardboard cutouts you’ll see hanging out at theaters between now and when the film opens on May 1.

There’s not really much in the way of revelations in this video, but the few brief glimpses we see here are tense and full of action and should be at least enough to sustain you until Thursday. Disney-owned ABC is using what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of 2015 to hype their wares, and the new Age of Ultron trailer debuts this Thursday, March 5, during the premiere of their new series, American Crime. That’s one way to get people who don’t care about your show to tune in.

In Age of Ultron, Tony Stark tries to kick off a new worldwide peacekeeping program, but thing’s don’t go quite as planned, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have to step in and try to save the day. As the sinister Ultron, voiced with perfect sinister creep by James Spader, rises, only the Avengers can stand against him, but it’s not going to be easy, alliances will be tested, and new tensions form within the group.
