Editorial: Will Ultron take a human form at some point in Avengers Sequel?

Monday brought the release of a brand new trailer for "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and while many have been speculating on the mysterious identity of the two women, something big may have been missed. Hit the jump to read more…

The new trailer for what is sure to be another hit for Marvel and Disney has tantalised fans, leaving them guessing on what might be in store come May. There has been heated debate on whether or not the scenes showing dark rocky chasms, futuristic cities and mystery women are hints at the presence of Black Panther in the movie.

Others have speculated that we could see Thor trapped in Hel. While I agree these are all very real possibilities I would like to point out another which is only hinted at.

Commenters have noted that the line "in the flesh" seems slightly awkward in the trailer. I suggest the reason for this is because it is from another scene entirely, one we have not been shown. Why?

If you listen to the audio of Ultron in the first trailer, particularly at the beginning, you may note that Spader's voice sounds mechanical and very robotic.

Compare it to the audio in the second trailer, specifically the point where he says the line "In the flesh," and it is clear to me this audio is from another place entirely.

Of course, it could be that the audio has been cleaned up so it sounds clearer but I do not believe this is likely. At this point in the movie Ultron is supposed to be in an extremely primitive form so the gravelly voice with static seems to fit.

The idea of Ultron taking a human form is not unprecedented. In the comics during the story-line "The Ultron Initiative" he appears as a female human android.




















Finally, in an interview with the Huffington Post during an earlier point in the films production Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige, mentioned how "it will be more than a voice role--we'll be capturing his face and his body to create a whole performance." Obviously, he was referring to motion capture technology but we know Ultron continues to evolve throughout the film. So far we have only seen two of his forms. Is it possible that Ultron will slowly become more human until we're left with something that resembles James Spader more than a robot on screen?

This is pure speculation on my part but I don't think I'd rule it out.

Thanks for reading.

Hi Guys this is my first article and I tried to include both trailers from youtube but had some difficulty. I embedded the codes but they appeared as codes in article not video files. If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it, thanks :)

I personally think the closest thing we'll get to that is Ultron disguised as a man (James Spader) to distract or infiltrate.

Good article, fun read. I agree the voice difference is a part of the story not just a matter of Marvel altering the voice just for trailers sake.

Soul Gem?

Good read. It wouldn't surprise me but I truly hope not. I love the look of Ultron.

@BeyondtheFuture When editing your article, click the "source" button. It'll turn the entire body into HTML, and you can insert the embed code for youtube videos where you want to place it, click "source" again, and it should appear as an embedded video.

that would be interesting to see half of Spader, half Ultron by the end of the movie. If this is the case his humanity would be his undoing.

Interesting, I could see them doing this. But I don't know shit about Ultron from the comics, so my opinion really means nothing.

@ Gliderman

Ultron has taken human form before in the comics. It makes plenty sense as long as he's not taking that form in order to BECOME a human. There are plenty of reasons he could do it and it would make perfect sense as long as it helps further his goals of killing all humans.
