In SDCC it was finally revealed that Ultron will be the enemy in upcoming Avengers sequel. It was however surprising that Joss Whedon comfirmed that Hank Pym, a.k.a. Ant-Man, would not appear in the Avengers 2, even though he is coming to the MCU in phase three. Ultron was in comics Hank Pym's creation, but in there has already been rumors that this robot menace would be Tony Starks handwork in MCU. This made me speculate about the robots origins; and I came up with two possible theory:

1) One of the questions with Avengers sequel is that if Thanos is involved with the plot in any way, if so; could it be that he causes Ultron's birth by corrupting, with some kind of cosmic virus, one already existing artificial intelligence in MCU: J.A.R.V.I.S. I know that this might first sound a bit absurd, but when you remember that in the end of Avengers there was tons of Chitauri-technology left to Earth, it might be that the virus comes from them without Thanos being directly involved. The virus could be some short of defence program desinged by Thanos in order to make sure that his enemies could never get any benefit from his army's gear. Invloment of J.A.R.V.I.S. would also be logical when in comics one of Ultrons first plans to destroy Avengers involed Jarvis being hynotized to work against the heroes.

2) Second theory would involve the ending of Iron Man 3. Many have wondered if Tony still wanted to be Iron Man after what happened at the end. It could be that Ultron will be presented as something that Tony has desinged to replace Iron Man in the team. Tony had self moving Iron Man armors in Iron Man 3, add the self conscious and tadaa; you got yourself an Ultron prototype.



How ever it will be, I hope that there is some kind of reference or nod to Hank Pym or Ant-Man in Avengers: Age Of Ultron. Ant-Man is not the most known hero to the public audience, and it would be good promotion for his film.

Those are good theories, but how would they involve Quicksilver and Scarlett witch who I presume are working with Ultron?

I think Ultron will be a Shield creation using somehow the captured Destroyer armour (modified by Shield/Tony Stark)known to be in Shield possession and involving a version of Jarvis to control it that gets corrupted or damaged causing it to want to destroy all human life.this therefore causes Thors involvement As its Asgardian,Tony Stark as he helped create it with a version of Jarvis and the rest of the Avengers due to their involvement with Shield....just a theory anyway lol

At the end of Iron man 3 which is 6 months after the avengers, Iron Man effectively retires.

In the time between the end of Iron Man 3 and Cap 2 or even between the end of The Avengers and the start of Iron Man 3, Stark designs a specific intelligent A.I and robot body to perform tasks and combat superpowered threats for SHIELD.

Then in Cap 2, WSC/SHIELD is infiltrated and temporarily goes bad, bad guys recode Ultron with a failsafe to take down The Avengers if they become a problem and when the time is necessary. Bad guys lose of course.

If the events of Cap 2 take place before IM3, then I think Ultron will be a secret contigency weapon against SHIELD and The Avengers should they go rouge, initialy created by Stark to help out SHIELD to be his replacement but reprogramed by Fury due to the events of The Winter Soldier.


At the start of The Avengers 2 Ultron initialy helps out to take down some superpowered threats e.g. the twins and extremis bad guys, before becomming more self aware and questioning it's logic and purpose, going bad and targeting The Avengers.

I think something around those lines will happen, I hope there isn't an army of Ultrons, seen that already two times before.
