Following this morning's new images from Joss Whedon's much-anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron, EW has revealed quite a few details about the plot of the May 1, 2015 release, particularly related to James Spader's robotic antagonist!


"A lot of times when Ultron starts talking, it?s beautiful," explains Chris Evans. "It's really intelligent stuff. He's out to do the things he wants to do because he's disgusted with X, Y, and Z. You could probably sit down with Ultron and have a really intelligent conversation. He could blow your mind with his views."



An unusual foe, Ultron actually wants to bring about world peace. He simply wants to eliminate those most responsible for disrupting it: the human race.



"I know you're 'good' people," the magazine reveals as part of Ultron's dialogue to the Avengers, "I know you mean well? but you just didn't think it through? There is only one path to peace? your extermination."



The magazine confirms that Ultron's character begins as one of Tony Stark's "Iron Legion," a team of Iron Man-type robots that Stark is using to continue his crime-fighting in his absence. The character also serves as a metaphorical surrogate son to Tony and has elements of his personality.



"It's not the good version that could've come from [stark's] intellect and personality," says Chris Hemsworth. "It's the bad son."



Currently filming in London, the sequel stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson?, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Thomas Kretschmann, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen and James Spader. Written and directed once again by Joss Whedon, Avengers: Age of Ultron will open on May 1, 2015.

and more possible spoilers

 

With Avengers: Age Of Ultron arriving next summer, casual fans have been wondering, who is Ultron? And the more hardcore comic fans who know Ultron was created by Hank Pym, aka the as-yet-unknown Ant-Man, they're probably wondering, who is THIS Ultron? As it turns out, the answer is both more and less complicated than you'd think. And it all revolves around Hollywood's latest favorite pet cause: drones. 


We are getting into major spoilers here for The Avengers: Age of Ultron, so back away if you don't want it spoiled.



Entertainment Weekly has pulled the lid off the secrecy surrounding Avengers: Age Of Ultron to illustrate how the latest creation from Tony Stark has become the Avengers' worst enemy. What any good follow-up does is re-examine the moral complexity of the previous film ? it's what the new onscreen DC universe is banking on in the wake ofMan Of Steel. This time Stark has retired as Iron Man for the most part, leaving the dirty work to the "Iron Legion" from the end of Iron Man 3. Those machines return in the new film, led by Ultron, Stark's new creation played by James Spader. 



Stark has gifted Ultron with some of his traits, but apparently none of his humanity, because Ultron surveys all around him and learns that the world is full of great suffering and tragedy, and to remove that, he'll need to eliminate the cause: humanity. But the Avengers can't just punch this problem out of existence: Ultron can disassemble and reassemble anywhere into any machine. 



The article describes that Ultron, in his initial attack, ruins the party that was described by early reports where the Avengers socially mingle in the former Stark Tower. More character details emerge in these descriptions of the party: my favorite would be the chit-chat between Captain America and Maria Hill, both survivors of the events ofCaptain America: The Winter Soldier. Is there something brewing between Steve and Maria? #LOVEMATCH. 



The unmanned drone issue has already been a part of recent movies like Robocop andCaptain America: The Winter Soldier, and it will earn a closer examination in Andrew Niccol's The Good Kill . In these movies, the unmanned drones are viewed as a bad idea, a tool of the villains even though they're being used by America in military operations today. But the tragedy is these movies don't give us that many reasons to think drones aren't the coolest things ever: they're efficient video-game creations inRobocop, and are presented as Tony Stark's salvation in the Iron Man movies. Age Of Ultron sounds like it will definitely come down on the anti-drone side, but is anyone really going to deny that Ultron is going to look super-cool? 



The rest of the details regarding the character of Ultron is just a click away, including the revelation that when the Age Of Ultron title was revealed at Comic Con, both Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson had no idea who Ultron really was. Which sort of makes sense: when you're that beautiful, it's hard to shame you for not reading comic books.Avengers: Age Of Ultron blows up all over your face next May 1st.

Another go at "Iron Man"? Robert Downey Jr. would welcome the opportunity.

Hollywood's highest-paid actor told Entertainment Weekly that he would have no problem putting on the big red suit if Marvel will have him back.

"It's down to Kevin (Feige, Marvel Studios president) and Ike (Perlmutter, CEO of Marvel Entertainment) and Disney to come to us with what the proposal is, and that's on us to agree or disagree," Downey said. But he added, "Right now, this has just been swell, hasn't it?"

Downey is currently filming the new "Avengers" movie.

The first three "Iron Man" films have been among the highest-grossing of the last decade. The first, "Iron Man" (2008), made more than $300 million in the United States and close to $600 million overall. The second, "Iron Man 2" (2010), did about the same here but improved on its overseas performance.

And the third film, "Iron Man 3" (2013), made more than $400 million domestically and -- including international grosses -- topped out at more than $1.2 billion.

Downey was careful to add a "you never know" to his apparent enthusiasm.

"It's that thing of: Why give up the belt when it feels like you can barely get jabbed?" he said. "Most people are saying that right when they get knocked out."

Thor is looking a little small, he stop working out?

 

As for Quick Silver, what does he do?

 

He's basically the Marvel version of the Flash. He has a better backstory though imo. He's the son of Magneto (along with Scarlett Witch being Magneto's daughter). He's also related to Polaris, but that's another story (especially if you don't know who Polaris is lol)
