Entertainment Weekly has released pictures of Age of Ultron, along with what the story will be:  Ultron is created by Tony Stark to take on Avenger duties. The AI goes rogue and starts his plan to wipe out humanity. This is Marvel's version of Frankenstein with Stark being the mad scientist. With the darker tone coming with AoU the body count is going to be beyond New York in this movie, and I'm guessing the fallout against the Avengers will be fierce. At the end of the first Avengers movie they had news clips of people's opinions of Earth's Mightiest Heroes - from saviors to dangerous. The World Council didn't want them around for the dangerous reason. People are still sore about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s HYDRA infestation, so a whole lot of people are not going to stand up for them. (Those who dare will be treated as lepers.)  This will be a mess that Stark's money and influence will not get him or the team out of.
