While no news is yet forthcoming as to what kind of changes the extended scenes on the home video release will be about, director Joss Whedon has previously been quoted on Vulture as saying the movie's original cut was three and a half hours long, which was eventually pared down to 142 minutes for the final film.
Speculations are rife the DVD and Blue-ray versions will contain scenes that were cut from the original movie, including footage of Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson that weren't included in the theater version, as well as Hulk's fate at the end of the movie.
On the other hand, the alternate ending may refer to the end credits footage Whedon may have been referring to when he announced last month "Avengers: Age of Ultron" would not be going the traditional Marvel movie route of including an cutscene at the end of the credits to link the film to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or to introduce the next title in the franchise.
The extended version may also contain a much longer introduction of the new characters, and even upcoming characters who will be making their debut in "Captain America: Civil War" due out in May 6 next year.
"Avengers: Age of Ultron" in DVD and Blue-ray is now available for pre-order on Amazon, and may be given a December 2015 release.
