Avengers 2: Not A Robot

Post by ARNie »

The next time the Avengers assemble, it'll be to face off with James Spader.
The actor has been cast as the formidable foe Ultron in the next "Avengers" movie, Marvel announced Thursday...

...In the Marvel universe, Ultron is a sentient robot that has an incredibly wide range of abilities, coming equipped with super-speed, super-strength, flight, mind control and a coma ray, to name a few. Whedon's Ultron won't be quite as versatile, and the filmmaker is imagining a less robotic bad guy.

"I knew right away what I wanted to do with him," Whedon, as an admitted fan of Ultron's, has said. "He's always trying to destroy the Avengers ... he's got a bee in his bonnet. He's not a happy guy, which means he's an interesting guy. He's got pain. And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff. So we'll take away some of those powers because at some point everybody becomes magic, and I already have someone (a new character, Scarlet Witch) who's a witch."

Looks an awful lot like a robot to me.

I think they mean that in the manor of Ultron being a very "robotic" in attitude. He's always thinking in the area of logic and the destruction of the "inferior humans." Very direct and robotic in behavior. They probably mean to evolve this to something more sinister and perhaps more interesting.
