- Ultron

Ultron is the titular main antagonist of the upcoming 2015 superhero sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron. He is a self-teching, self-aware artificial intelligence dormant peacekeeping program hidden in the remains of the Chitauri Invasion and was jump-started by Tony Stark. Possessing an eight-foot tall advanced robotic body, Ultron was created by Stark with the purpose of protecting Earth from threats, but eventually deemed humanity itself as the greatest threat to Earth and attempted to create a technological singularity by committing genocide against them.

He is portrayed and voiced by James Spader who played Stewart Swinton in Wolf.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
"How could you be worthy? You're all killers. You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. There's only one path to peace: your extinction."

- Ultron to the Avengers.

Ultron was designed to protect the planet for the Avengers, but thinks opposite and attempts to wipe out the human race. He eventually grows stronger and stronger, upgrading himself to become a worthy opponent to Earth's Mightiest Heroes (who will later battle him). He creates an army of Ultron Sentinels and uses twins Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (who will eventually turn on him) to bring rise to human extinction.

Trivia

 * In the comics, Ultron was traditionally created by Dr. Henry Pym, however, Joss Whedon has stated that in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron's origin will be different, relating more the current roster of Avengers already established in the MCU.
 * In the comics, Ultron was the most personal adversary ever faced by the Avengers, being directly responsible for many misfortunes the team has faced. Given that fact, his presence in the film makes the possibility of a dark outcome much more likely.
 * The song, "I've Got No Strings" refers to Ultron being free from control of his creator. It is also a sinister, darker take on Pinocchio's I've Got No Strings.
