It's Ultron, a robotic AI created by Tony Stark that develops a God Complex and believes the best way to safeguard humanity is to wipe it out. He will have an army of drones, but is also capable of going toe-to-toe with most of the Avengers.
Scarlet Witch (psychic/telekenetic/telepath) and Quicksilver (super speed) look to be on the Dark Side at least initially, and Baron Strucker (the guy with the monocle at the end of The Winter Soldier) is or was a major Agent of Hydra, and has Loki's staff, which may or may not be an Infinity Gem.

If one isn't paying attention to the trailer they may miss that Ultron (in his own body) is quite tall, clocking in at 8' or so. You can tell when Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver come up behind them.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

To be honest, I'm hoping they are going to power him up in terms of physical strength, and that he basically gets to smack down with the whole team at once, something Loki couldn't (and wouldn't, given the choice) do.

They are in the comics, but they are tied closely enough to the Avenger's comic that rights are owned by both. There will be no crossover as Fox owns the X-Men. It is why they will be called miracles or gifted in the Marvel films as they cannot call them mutants, which is owned by Fox.

In the cartoon, Earth's Mightiest Heroes (on Netflix), Ultron takes on the entire Avenger's and holds his own until plot steps in. In that he also controls the Iron Man suits to attack the team and takes over a Helicarrier.

Ultron doesn't have a set power level, either. His power is determined by which body he's using.

Good - Hiddleston's Loki is a brilliant realised character......
This looks to be great, the scene with the hammer extremely well done - a bit of humour and fun to make the next "dark bit" seem even more darker - something that I feel all the DC films lack to their detriment ..................
Any word if Pepper or Jane are in it - although it is already maybe a bit crowded with on screen actors! A Cameo from one or both would be nice - Pepper was great in the first Avengers film.

Just wanted to say, the first season and a half of this cartoon series is awesome and should be watched.
After the Secret Wars stroyline wraps up, do not watch anymore as the show was cancelled and the last few episodes are entirely mailed in.

I decided to watch the original again last night when I was bored and there are a lot of throwaway lines and actors that didn't mean anything until Agents of SHIELD or Cap 2.

Yeah, I remember my dad trying to tell me about the avengers before the first Iron Man came out, and I was sitting there telling him that they all sounded incredibly lame.
A robot dude who doesn't use guns?!?
A Girly Man who throws a hammer whenever he tantrums?
A Dude who uses a Shield as his major weapon?
Heck, the only one I liked was the Hulk.

Ehh, I'd really ad Cap to the list of "A" heroes. For as long as I can remember, everyone, nerd or not, has known who Captain America is, what he looks like (generally) and usually the fact that he punched Hitler in a comic.

That is a fair concession.
I still wouldn't call him "A-list" because there is a difference between being "known" and being popular, but you're right, he wasn't exactly a bottom-tier name.

Interesting
I had very little idea who Iron Man / Tony Stark was until I saw the triamph that was the first film, Thor - I knew off from mythology and the slightly odd depicition I had occasionally seen in the comics - Cap A similar lack of knowledge. So for me these characters were new and fresh when I saw them in the wonderful recent movies.
I have always know about Spiderman from a range of things from comics to comdey sketches (same as Superman really)- but then I realy really dislike everything about his character.
Hulk again - hear of him alot from popular media - several disapointing films then revitalised in the Avengers film.
Batman and Superman are huge icons - that are both respected and lamponed in equal measure.

Actually, I think it's pretty telling that both Superman and Captain America's deaths made the US national network news but Batman's "death" didn't.

Hmm do you think Cap A is a bigger name in the US for obvious reasons? I think more UK people (and perhaps other nations) would recognise Batman?

Then name "Captain America" was known but I would argue that the few actually read the comic. Iron Man was known as well, but similarly didn't have broad recognition until the films. The only really worldwide character(s) Marvel could claim before the MCU was Spider-Man, and possibly Wolverine. Batman and Superman were iconic both then and now, and seem a bit more universal. I imagine when this phase of public love of the material fades they will still be the two best known globally.

When it comes to this sort of discussion, I think we should also throw in one more name. I'm no DC fan, but feth me the character is very well known, and not just because who he's associated with: The Joker. I think if you showed anyone a picture of a guy wearing a purple suit, with bright red lips, pasty white face and green hair, they'd all know instantly who it is
