Age of Ultron The Design & Origin of ULTRON

[TheVision]

It sounds like hes walking like a zombie or maybe it would be closer to an early form of human being rising from the mud and limping along.

Ultron sounds awesome, based on the Comic-Con panel footage. Between his role in the film, and the announced graphic novel from Rick Remender and Jerome Opena - The Rage of Ultron - which is already being hyped to do for Ultron what The Killing Joke did for The Joker, and Ultron seems set to get a major boost in prominence. He's already regarded as one of the heaviest hitters on the Avengers rogues gallery, but this seems likely to propel him to the A-list of iconic Marvel supervillains.

This is something really canny that Marvel has been doing, across both the films and the comics. People have been talking about them elevating the heroes they own the movie rights to, but the same has been happening with the villains. For the longest time, the holy trinity of Marvel's definitive villains has been considered to be Magneto, Dr. Doom and (depending on what era of Spider-Man we were in) either Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin or Venom. None of whom can be used in Marvel Studios films. But through a combination of their film portrayals and prominent featuring in comics storylines, Marvel has been steadily elevating a new wave of villains to be seen as part of that A-list, including Thanos, Loki, Red Skull, and now it seems, Ultron.

Fully agreed on how Marvel have done a great job elevating their characters over the last few years on both sides of the coin.

Sam: NO NO NO. I didnt mean ULTRON creates himself from the beginning. I mean he builds that armor suit himself. Tony creates the ULTRON AI (as I said since I joined the forum)

Or maybe ULTRON already is in a suit and he starts rebuilding that. I dont know.

Yes Ive seen Pinocchio. I know hes a wooden boy who turns real.

AND HELLO AGAIN!

Yeah, it's quite clear that Ultron creates himself. What it seems Tony does is produce the ingredients that spontaneously combust.

Holy crap

 

[Just_Human]

Holy crap

yup

Spader will not have to sign autographs anymore

i like that

 

[Whiskey Tango]

You'd think Blacklist is the only thing Spader has done in his career. Dude has always had the goods.

 

[SuperSanchez]

Its crazy that ULTRON builds himself. HOW does he put himself together? Uh oh...

Avengers VS Ultron, and then Dum-E is really the main villain, behind the scenes working with thanos getting revenge on Tony for not saving him in the malibu mansion attack!

 

[SuperSanchez]

Where is Pepper while this scene (ultron walks into room with avengers) happens?

 

[CK Spider]

Having watched the Blacklist, I knew Spader would be a great Ultron, but damn, his delivery is flat out perfect! Just can't wait to have a better look at his portrayal. Also, Ultron's last form got me curious.

Anyway, I can feel from the audio that Spader's not just giving a "paycheck perfomance". It's obviously too soon to be sure, but I have a very good feeling he'll be considered one of the greatest villains of all superhero movies.

So many of his old movie roles are guys you just want to punch in the mouth.

Yes, but the comparison is made because I don't expect Ultron to make black widow bend over the desk pull down her panties while he pulls out his joystick and sprays his lubricant over her back. While Maria Hill carries the mail to him in her mouth like a dog.

The comparison is made because Reddington is able to put on this cold calculating persona that is precision like, and being willing to do what it takes to get the job done, no matter how radical.

But yes, Spader has always been a great actor.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Yeah, either that or the majority went "Spader who?" after he was cast and Blacklist happened to be the easiest way to catch up. Whatever.

Audio was good, wish it had hd eyeball feed attached though.

 

[Jasyn]

.... going to rent "Secretary" for artistic film research ... who needs moral standards, they're overrated anyway.

 

[TheVision]

James Spader is a great actor, but if you dont have a writer or director that can get the best from you, your talents will never be at full potential. Some people just know how to tap into an actors talents.

Yes, you're quite right. The MCU has been doing a great job of heightening the profiles of some of Marvel's best characters, both heroes and villains. As you point out, Marvel Studios' movies have done a lot to elevate some key Marvel villains in the public consciousness, so much so that they're more recognizable than ever among general audience viewers. Villains like Loki, Thanos, the Mandarin, the Red Skull, and the Winter Soldier have received a lot of benefit and mileage from the films, and now Ultron will too, without any doubt.

 

[TheVision]

I think AOU will show other MCU directors that you have to make the villains just as intriguing as the heroes. You cant just have cardboard cutout baddies twisting their mustaches. Its dull.

 

[The Caped Knight]

so I heard the audio of Spader as Ultron from the comic-con teaser and I gotta say DAMN I love it, it chilling and almost robotic

 

[TheVision]

James Spader said ULTRON is very immature and his worldview is skewed. Joss said he doesnt work on logic, that hes disturbed. Thats what makes him really intrigiuing. He really is like a deranged Pinocchio.

 

[ctsketch]

It seems like the villain will be the focus of this one...and I like it

 

[Tony Stark]

James Spader said ULTRON is very immature and his worldview is skewed. Joss said he doesnt work on logic, that hes disturbed. Thats what makes him really intrigiuing. He really is like a deranged Pinocchio.

And that's what will make this so intriguing and original. This isn't Asimov's 3 robotics laws, this is something more out of Greek Mythology, like the son's of the Titans who sought to destroy their parents.

 

[TheVision]

What makes it creepy is that hes not a regular villain, you dont really know what hes going to do or come up with. He has no strings.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Anyway, I can feel from the audio that Spader's not just giving a "paycheck perfomance". It's obviously too soon to be sure, but I have a very good feeling he'll be considered one of the greatest villains of all superhero movies.

I definitely have a feeling Ultron will be like The Joker in The Dark Knight to The Avengers in this film, a threat that challenges the heroes on a whole new, personal level
