The "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Trailer is Missing Something Important...

So I (excitedly) watched the Age of Ultron trailer that had been supposedly leaked (but not really).
Check it out here:


I've been excited for this movie, and eager for any glimpse of it. Upon seeing the trailer, I noticed something was missing, and it left me with one question:

Where is The Vision??

I mean, sure they're probably keeping him secret because A) he's going to be some sort of big reveal within the movie, or 2) they haven't finished his effects quite yet. 

And yes, we've seen glimpses of what he'll look like through concept art:

And this picture that leaves people going, "Is this Paul Bettany as The Vision or isn't it?"

But I was really eager to see him in the trailer. See him in motion! In action! I was eager for a glimpse of him in this trailer, and it didn't happen. Perhaps they're just trying to build my anticipation for the actual film by making me wait. I guess, in a sense, it's working. But is half a second of a glimpse going to kill them? I would love for even that much. 

But I guess other than that it was pretty good. (Though "I've got no strings" will always remind me of my first Nsync concert back in 2000, so that's a little strange for me.) It's a surprisingly long trailer - 2 minutes - given that it's called a "teaser." It's got interesting shots of characters that aren't The Vision. Things happening with Hulk definitely intrigues me. It was also nice to see each of the main guys (and girls) from the original film highlighted pretty nicely. Ultron definitely seems like he'll make an interesting villain. So I guess the trailer still looks promising - even if it's missing The Vision.
