Watch two bonus features from the Avengers: Age of Ultron Blu-ray

The look was generally silly, as you can plainly see from this behind-the-scenes clip Marvel released tied to the “Avengers 2″ DVD.

After Tony Stark and Bruce Banner accidentally created the second “Avengers” movie villain by uploading an artificial intelligence discovered in Loki’s scepter with Stark’s global defense program Ultron, the Ultron machine took on a life of its own.

So, while everyone is waiting to see Black Panther make his screen debut in next May’s Captain America: Civil War, it turns out that the first official mention of the Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was part of a don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it shot in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The file has Klaue’s picture from three different angles and has a little description of him given in it.

Ulysses Klaue, played by Andrew Serkis, was once branded as a thief in the language of the fictional African country, Wakanda, as referenced in the movie. Especially considering that, as the circulating rumors suggest, T’Chaka, father of T’Challa and the soon “Black Panther“, is rumored to die in the film, according to Screenrant. The reason for the assassination was an option just in case T’Chaka refused to negotiate Wakanda’s resources including Vibranium.

The report also states that Klaue was paid $10 million to kill the leader, though it’s unclear whether or not he actually succeeded. But, Klaue was also there personally, as the Panther killed his great-grandfather in the 19th century, while this one was trying to annex Wakanda.

However, in the movie, chances are T’Chaka is still alive because Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige mentioned that T’Challa and his father discuss the abuse of Vibranium that occurred recently. Looking forward to seeing more Scarlet Witch in future films?
