Things are heating up as Avengers: Age of Ultron is about to hit theaters. Audi’s going to get quite a bit of exposure to the public, thanks to its ongoing and now expanded partnership with Marvel, meaning you’re going to see a few Audis in the film.

It’s not the first time that Audi has been featured in Marvel movies, with the R8 e-tron being driven by Tony Stark in Iron Man 3. In Iron Man 2, an R8 Spyder sits in the superhero’s dream garage. In the first Iron Man movie, Tony Stark uses the R8 to get around when he’s not wearing his armor. Other Audi vehicles that have been used in the Iron Man series include the A8L, S5, S7 Sportback and Q7.

In the first Avengers movie, which was a tremendous box office hit, Acura was highly featured. Unfortunately, Honda’s luxury division didn’t see a sales boost as a result. This time around, the new R8 will once again be driven by Tony Stark. Among the other Audis that will be central in the movie is the 2015 TTS and A3 Cabriolet.

There’s even a website dedicated specifically to the Audi and Avengers team-up: www.audi.com/MarvelsAvengers. Fans can go there to see some extended videos, plus learn more about the movie and the cars featured in it. Closer to the movie’s release, the two companies will launch a comedic short starring Stan Lee, which will be posted on Audi’s YouTube channel.

Of course, Audi’s talking up the ties between the superhero team and its model lineup, because it’s not pouring all of that money into the franchise just because it likes the comic books. As part of the marketing push, Audi has released some extra footage from the new Avengers movie, plus Ant Man, mixed in with the 2015 TTS driving around a track.
