‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ has Marvel’s biggest VFX shot count to date

Although it’s not entirely a surprise given the studio’s tendency to push the bar with the scale of their films, Marvel Studios executive producer Victoria Alonso confirmed tonight during a speech for the Visual Effects Society that next summer’s Joss Whedon-helmed Avengers: Age of Ultron will feature over 3,000 VFX shots. That’s roughly 500 more than this year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier and 250 more than Guardians of the Galaxy!
