Age of Ultron The Avengers 2! The Official News and Speculation Thread - Upgrade section 5

In order to not crack? He could use the same material as IM + vibranium.
In order to pose an offensive threat towards Hulk or Thor? What you mentioned yeah I guess, how did he do it in the comics?

Ya, we've discussed the vibranium thing before. If he had both that and the weaponry SHIELD created from the cube, I could see better potential for an actual threat.

 

[Mightyally]

Yep. I wonder how they will destroy him. We aren´t talking adamantium so they could physically break his body I guess, but it wouldn´t be an easy task if it´s titanium and vibranium. Maybe they use a combination of Scarlet´s powers and Hulk/Thor beating the body until something within breaks.

I don´t want the anti matter vibranium solution that the guy with the broken leg (can´t recall his name lol, but Firestar´s boyfriend) used on Ultron 17.

 

[steintym]

I would suspect the Scarlett Witch's powers would play a part in taking down Utron. That along with Stark messing with his programming and a healthy bashing from the others.

I do want to see Ultron nearly indestructible physically, though.

 

[Destructus86]

ooh...here's an idea. Stark creates a new security system for SHIELD.
SHIELD turns around and turns it into a weapon...which really pisses off Stark.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I really want to see a scene where Quicksilver rushes at Ultron and is immediately halted when Ultron grabs him by the neck and holds him up.

that could work actually. my only issue is that it while the above scenario absolves Tony of most of the blame, it still makes him the focus of Ultron's rage and therefore the movie. I was hoping for a less Stark-centric film at this point. as long as they focus on the other characters more Im okay with it (in TA, stark got lots of screentime, but you can argue that Thor was the focus of the movie because of Loki).

I think the Stark-centricity of A2 and A3 will be unavoidable because he's their marquee name and he doesn't have any upcoming individual films scheduled.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

It makes sense, but its not "unavoidable". Five fewer minutes of screen time for Stark won't affect the bottom line in any way. Not at this point.

 

[marcvader]

The way the Avengers was handled is fine by me.

Again: why would Tony Stark build anything for SHIELD?
Most of you seem to be missing the point of Tony Stark's character arc over the entire MCU, and that is an absolute mistrust, aversion, and even hatred of all things SHIELD and World Security Council. Including Nick Fury.

Tony Stark would never build *squat* for SHIELD. Or the government. Or the Council. He would tell them all in no uncertain terms where they could stick it.

You're trying to hard to ignore the obvious.

 

[mkilban2]

huh really, well sure thing!

Thanks buddy. Means a lot

 

[mkilban2]

My one hope is that Ultron really isn't defeated for good in the movie. The team takes out the body and shuts down the system but really he's backed up somewhere and they only tease that for the audience. Avengers 3 battle royale with him and thanos both in it! (Oksy maybe not but I'd still like his return be left open but unknowingly to the movie characters

Ultron should never die. There should always appear to be some way he can rebuild himself. He is, after all, also known as "the evil undying".

Of course, I don't think the Avengers 3 would have him all over again, but if this had been a TV series, he could always come back in a later episode. Maybe he could show up in Agents of SHIELD.

 

[Ant-manic]

What are you talking about? He retrieved his helper robot "Dummy". And Jarvis needs no "retrieving". The AI exists independent of Tony's suits.

i'm talking about Jarvis being an A.I.; leaving a very obvious opening for him creating Ultron.

While I've found myself not agreeing with you recently, you're absolutely right on this one.

Stark doesn't like SHIELD. He doesn't like the government. When/if he creates Ultron, he's not doing it for them.

 

[Dark Raven]

If Justin Hammer is still around, in the comics Hammer had his scientists hack into Iron Man's armour and caused him to kill a UN Ambassador. What if they hacked into JARVIS and uploaded their own AI which turned out to be Ultron? Or if not Hammer, then AIM could do it.

....Or: what if Arnim Zola, a guy who specializes in killer robots and AI because he, um, IS one himself, hacked into JARVIS/Iron Man....?

Of course Ultron never dies. He was the very first computer virus, able to invade other systems and hide his code in them, lurking and scheming, until he could secure another body to inhabit. He has been doing that since his creation in 1968, there's no reason he won't continue in the film universe.

Whedon already said Ultron originates from within the Avengers. Why do you keep bringing up Zola? I know you're upset about the Pymless Ultron, but the whole Zola/killer robot thing is a baseless worry.

I totally see it. Ultrons origins comes from the avengers. It could still be relevant. Zola sort of develops this ai, which SHIELD is able to get their hands on...Cap doesnt trust it, and convinces Fury the same

Spoiler

which is why the two of them seem to have gone rogue if you will

Meanwhile, Stark is recovering mentally, and really trusts Jarvis at this point, and cause of the events of Ironman 3, he is willing to help SHIELD forward this project, and builds it's FIRST body, bringing Ultron into the physical world. Cap didn't trust this AI, and he turns out to be right. It still would be an Origin story

I don't see Stark helping SHIELD at all. After Avengers, I can't see him giving Fury or anyone associated with him the time of day. It's always been my assumption that the team will think of themselves as autonomous now.

Anyway, back to Zola. I have a hunch we'll only see him in flashbacks in TWS, probably when we see WS's transformation. It seems more likely that Ultron will either be an offshoot of the JARVIS program, or (my vote) SHIELD and/or the WSC creates the AI as a means of fighting rogue superheroes.

I never want my questions of this film to be answered until I see the movie. I wish I could wipe my brain about knowing these types of websites lol. But my curiosity and the fun discussions get the best of me

Haha I hear ya man it's addicting to get on here and discuss everything up to the day of release. It's like we area part of it all haha. But me personally love to know as much as possible before seeing the film. Every detail, spoiler and Easter egg. I eat it all up beforehand t:
