Director Edgar Wright Says Ultron Was Never A Part Of His ANT-MAN Movie

We know that Ultron will feature in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but it has been confirmed that Hank Pym would have no hand in his creation in the sequel. Now, Ant-Man director Edgar Wright confirms that (perhaps unsurprisingly) the A.I. has never been a part of that movie's script.

Marvel announced at San Diego Comic-Con last month that the highly anticipated sequel to The Avengers will be subtitled Age Of Ultron, confirming that the iconic villain will battle Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the Joss Whedon-directed film. Whedon then revealed that Hank Pym, who created the A.I. in the comics, will not feature in the movie and won't even have a hand in his creation. With that in mind, it's rather unsurprising that Ultron is not a part of Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish's Ant-Man script (which will feature Pym).

Speaking with Science Fiction while promoting The World's End, Wright was asked if Ultron was ever a part of the storyline for the Ant-Man movie, responding with, "I cannot really get into that, but umm… I’ll say no. No he wasn’t." Ultron has been widely speculated to have a role in the film, but with him completely out of the picture, who will be the villain? Radioactive Man? Egghead? Stay tuned to CBM for more news as we have it.

Ant-Man is scheduled to hit theaters November 6th, 2015.

Hardly a shock if I'm honest.

Pretty much figured it wouldn't be Ultron since he's going to be in the Avengers sequel.

I'm not too fond of Ant-Man's villain gallery so can someone...anyone please help me here?! lol

There was that guy in A:EMH but that was like a Black Panther crossover.

You all think M.O.D.O.K would be a worthy opponent? Or will it just be him taking on crooks and criminals??

Maybe now the people can shut up. Edgar Wright obviously had a GREAT story somehow without Ultron. I don't know how but he does. We'll see.

Maybe the villain is some one who isn't really part of his rouge gallery, but since Marvel has rights to that certain character they're using him.

@MARVELPSYCHO79

Ultron appears in Avengers 2 Summer 2015 and Ant-Man releases Nov 2015. Sadly it wouldn't make sense but it would've been the best way to build up to Avengers: Age of Ultron I must say. (sigh) :(

Marvel just what the heck do you have up your sleeve? lol

LMAO it really seems like lately Marvel has just been saying [frick] it to its own source material.

Actually M.O.D.O.K would be an interesting villain for Ant Man.

It's terrible news.

Ultron was a defining part of Hank, whether he liked it or not. It was a 'Frankenstein' scenario and a huge part of Hank's history.
To not have Ultron's creation a part of Ant Man's story is blasphemy.

NOT, COMIC UNIVERSE FOR FILM
There is no need for EVERYTHING to be EXACTLY like the comics.

Perhaps Ultron is created by a scientist, an "unknow" doctor which turns out to be Hank Pym but we won't know that until the Ant-Man movie comes out. Remember that in Thor, Doctor Selvig mentions a scientist who was involved with SHIELD and disappeared and he was supposed to be Pym.

Marvel is becoming a joke year after year.

Mandarin, now this Ultron mess... I wonder what will be next

OldBenKenobi - 8/1/2013, 4:38 PM
Yeah, CherryBomb said it better that I would have. Pym has to be Ultron's creator.

That's the guy I was thinking of! Hmmmm...

Don't really see the point of this movie especially if Ant-Man has nothing to do with Ultron. They should just scrap this movie and use the money to make another Hulk movie, he was everyone favorite part of The Avenger's. If not Hulk then Dare Devil, Punisher or Black Panther.
