Its trailer plan foiled by Hydra, Marvel instead unveiled a scene from the sequel during this week's episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

With Hydra scuttling its plan to debut the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" teaser trailer during last night's episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," Marvel instead released a "Special Look" at footage screened in July at Comic-Con International. It's the much-discussed lighthearted scene in which Earth's Mightiest Heroes taking turns attempting to lift Thor's hammer from a coffee table, only to discover that none of them is "worthy."

The fun is, of course, interrupted by the arrival of Ultron, which segues into a different edit of the trailer we saw last week, with a couple of new shots.

Directed by Joss Whedon, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Cobie Smulders, James Spader and Samuel L. Jackson. It opens May 1, 2015.
