In Age of Ultron, Tony Stark's office building / home/ Avengers HQ is a high rise building in Manhattan.  It is seen with Grand Central Station in the foreground in north-facing views, so it must be a small number of blocks north of Grand Central Station.  It is also possible to see the Chrysler building from Stark/Avengers Tower, so it is probably east of the Chrysler building, somewhere in midtown.  But where in specific is the Avengers/Stark tower located?  Has anyone seen an actual address description?  And I am curious, what other building is actually in the same location in real life?

In the Avengers movie, Tony Stark builds a tower in New York City. It is big, it is shiny, it is tall. It's all the things that Tony Stark loves, especially in his buildings.  During the battle in the third act:      ...we see the ground team (Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America) are pretty much camped out near Grand Central station. It would seem that Stark Tower isn't too far from there, given that Captain America's primary mission is to keep the Chitauri within a 3 block radius of Grand Central. That leads me to believe the portal (which is above Stark Tower) is located close by, because otherwise the mission objective would be laughable and tactically unwise.   Based on the establishing shots, I was wondering: Where is Stark Tower located? And, furthermore:      Is Stark Tower located in lieu of the MetLife building?

In the Iron Man movie, Tony Stark mentions that he won't sell the Iron Man technology, because he only trusts himself to use it. Because he has an arc reactor built into his chest, his suit can interface with it for power. Unable to produce an arc reactor, Obadiah Stane steals the reactor from Stark's chest to power his Iron Monger suit.  In Iron Man 2, we see Tony's room of older Iron Man models, among them the Mark II and III armors. Both of these armored suits are shown with an arc reactor built into them. This enables James Rhodes to steal the Mark II suit during Tony's birthday party, equipping it as the War Machine suit.  Why would Tony store his extra Iron Man armored suits with power sources built in, when that would enable just anyone to walk in, put on a suit, and leave? He already had an arc reactor at all times. What would storing suits with built in power accomplish? Why would he make extra arc reactors anyway when he should've learned from Stane stealing his reactor tech? Is there a valid, in-universe reason for this, or is it just to enable Rhodey to easily steal a suit?

In Avengers: Age of Ultron movie,      Ultron infected tech of Avengers Tower just after his birth. It means he is capable of infecting tech. Also, if this wasn't the case, he could never be able to create his drones.   Just after its birth,      He escaped using the Internet and infected digital devices across the entire planet. Again, awesome capability (think Skynet).   We also saw that      Iron Man's armor was connected to the Internet. He googled for the keyword "Hulk" during flight just before he deployed Veronica.   Then, why did Ultron let Iron Man win the fight? Why didn't he simply hack Iron Man's armor to use him as own drone?

At the end of Ant Man, we are treated to two excellent post credits scenes that are setting up the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  One of these scenes shows us that ;      Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Sam Wilson (The Falcon) have found Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) who they have been searching for since the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. They begin to talk in hushed tones about what to do next, one of them mentioning that they "can't go to Stark. If only this had happened a week ago" (I didn't catch all the dialogue exactly, so this may be incorrect).   Obviously, this is set up for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War movie, but;      Why can't they go to Stark, and what happened a week ago? Where are they, and how did they find Bucky?   In general, the things seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (with the exception of Agent Carter and Captain America: The First Avenger) happen in real time, so I would expect this question (or at least parts of this question) to be answerable based on what we have seen so far.

In the opening scenes of Infinity War, Thanos and the Black Order     have killed basically everyone aboard the Asgardian ship, which amounts to everyone who escaped the destruction of Asgard itself at the end of Thor: Ragnarok.  After this, Thanos destroys the whole ship using the Power Stone.  The end result is that Thor is picked up as the only survivor, by the Guardians of the Galaxy.   Of course, we learned during Thor: Ragnarok that not all Asgardians are necessarily on Asgard (Valkyrie was living on Sakaar, after all).  Do we have any indication that there are any other such Asgardians anywhere else in the MCU at the current time, or is Thor now officially (or at least "as far as we know") the last of the Asgardian race?  I'd prefer an official confirmation if one exists anywhere.

In  we see Tony Stark fight the Hulk using the . The destructive battle apparently ends in      the Hulk being knocked out by Iron Man.   Or something along similar lines. During the fight, Stark wishes a number of times for the Hulk to get knocked out and/or "Go to sleep!"    My question is, how is this possible? As confirmed by , "the Hulk's potential strength has no finite element inside." It's often quoted that "the madder the Hulk gets, the stronger the Hulk gets,"  so how is it possible to knock him out to begin with?

What are the differences between Iron Man and War Machine armours ?  In the movies, it seems that they are the same, except the War Machine armour features more heavy weapons. But if they are the same, why wouldn't Tony Stark use the War Machine armour?  Do they have different characteristics (like strength, resistance, flight time...)?  I am looking for answers from the movies and/or the comics.

At the end of The Avengers, Thor takes Loki as prisoner &amp; also takes the Tessaract, to be placed in Asgard.   But why didn't he also take Loki's sceptre with him?   It was a source of power &amp; mind control which was later revealed to be the Mind Infinity Stone.

Age of Ultron has a scene with , with varying degrees of success and failure.  I was wondering which superheroic characters appearing in the Age of Ultron movie (e.g. Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Vision, Hulk, Captain America, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver) have wielded Mjolnir in the comic-books, and which comic-book issues/arcs did they do so in?

Under the  tag I have seen many questions on earth-616. Are there any other versions of earth as well? How do they differ from each other?

I'm planning on re-watching the currently-released 5 Marvel films prior to seeing The Avengers.  Have Marvel released any sort of official viewing order?  Captain America: The First Avenger seems like the hardest one for me to place in order with the rest.  It takes place prior to the other films, but has the greatest number of references to the other films.  So should it be watched first, or last?  The rest of them are relatively clear, as they're chronological in the order they're released, with the possible exception of The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 happening at the same time.

In , the nation of Panem (implied to be North America after some sort of post apocalyptic scenario) is divided into 13 districts and the Capitol. District 12 is hinted to be in the Appalachia Mountains, and the Capitol is hinted to be in the Rocky Mountains. District 13, which was destroyed, is described as "east of District 12", which made me think it's where Washington D.C. is today.  The other districts, however, were mostly ignored, and almost no detail was provided as to their locations in the books. Has there been any supplemental information that reveals where the districts are?

Towards the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron JARVIS uploads himself into a lifeless Virbranium android. This process creates Vision. Then before the final battle we see Tony Stark uploading a program called FRIDAY into his suit. During the battle we hear a feminine voice in The Iron Man suit instead of JARVIS'. So did JARVIS cease to exist after uploading himself into Vision? If so did JARVIS know that this would happen, or was it because of the Mindstone?

In Thor, there is a scene where you can see what looks like the Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's vault. Later (in Avengers: Age of Ultron, IIRC) you learn that Thanos actually has the Infinity Gauntlet, raising some questions about the one in Odin's vault, which are answered in Thor: Ragnarok when Hela sees it in the vault, knocks it over, and proclaims it to be a fake.  After all this, Kevin Feige  how the Gauntlet in Odin's vault was originally mostly just an easter egg, but also gave an in-universe explanation for Odin having a fake Infinity Gauntlet; essentially that Odin was pretending to have it so people on Asgard wouldn't worry about it being used against them.  However, in Infinity War, Eitri tells Thor how Thanos came to Nidavellir and forced him to make the Infinity Gauntlet, then killed everyone and chopped off Eitri's hands, putting an end to everything there. It seems that no one was aware that Nidavellir was shut down or that any of this had happened, and seeing as how the Gauntlet was made for -- and went directly to -- Thanos, how did Odin come to know that it even existed and get details of what it looked like in order to create a fake for his vault?

Sorry for the cryptic title, but I realise the film has only just been released in the UK and Europe and is yet to be released in the US.  I'll hide all substantial parts of my question, just in case. I don't want to spoil anything.     At the end of Age of Ultron, Thor states that 4 infinity stones have now shown up in the last few years.   So,     By my count we have the Tesseract, from several of the first few films. The Aether, from Thor 2. The Chitauri Scepter, again from several films. And finally, we have The Orb, from Guardians.    Now, to my knowledge     Thor, and indeed none of the Avengers, should know about The Orb. I don't remember Thor visiting the Collector between GoTG and the AoU. So, how did Thor know that The Orb had appeared? Or is he referencing a different infinity stone?   I'm looking for an in universe answer, ideally.

During the end credit scene of Spider-Man: Far from Home, we see that,      Nick Fury and Maria Hill are two Skrulls, Talos and (presumably) his wife.   And we also see that,      Nick Fury is in a spaceship like structure, presumably away from Earth.   So that begs the question,      How long has Talos been impersonating Nick Fury? Is it since the events of Captain Marvel or since Avengers: Endgame or sometime in between?

San Francisco seems an odd choice for Starfleet Headquarters to me, especially within sight of the Golden Gate Bridge.  It's such a densely populated area, I would figure that it's one of the last places one would want to place a new military facility - especially one which surely must be kept at the forefront of technological innovation.  If anywhere in the U.S., I'd more likely have expected Starfleet's home to be closer to an existing NASA facility that is more intimately involved in spaceflight operations.  The obvious choices would have been Kennedy Space Center in Florida, or Johnson Space Center in Texas.  The closest facility to San Francisco would be Ames Research Center in Mountain View, which doesn't quite compare to the other centers from the layman's perspective.  The next spot I could think of is Bozeman, Montana - site of Zephram Cochrane's flight of the Phoenix.  But that's half-way across the continent.  Has there ever been an explanation in canon, production notes, or interviews, that explains why they chose San Francisco to be the home of Starfleet?
