Ultron, one of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most iconic villains, may be returning in the upcoming Phase 5 of the MCU. While the details of the movie Armor Wars remain unknown, sources from the Marvel Studios Spoilers subreddit have revealed that James Spader is set to reprise his role as Ultron.
The character was last seen in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron, where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes managed to defeat the rogue AI villain. However, Ultron’s appearance in Disney+’s What If…? animated series sparked rumors of a possible return, and the non-canon sequence in Disney Cruise’s Avengers: Quantum Encounter only fueled these speculations.
The upcoming Armor Wars movie is expected to focus on Tony Stark’s legacy, making Ultron’s return even more interesting. Tony created Ultron, and as such, the villain’s return could tie in with the movie’s storyline. However, the big question remains: how will Ultron return, especially since Vision destroyed the last Ultron bot in the Age of Ultron movie?
One possibility is that whoever is meddling with Stark’s technology in Armor Wars may have accidentally or purposefully activated the villain. A past rumor suggests that small shards of Ultron remain dormant in the universe, and the broken Ultron bot seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming could act as the means of James Spader’s MCU return.
While Marvel Studios and Disney have not confirmed or commented on Ultron’s return, fans are excited to see the iconic villain make a comeback. The threat of Ultron spells trouble for the remaining Avengers, especially now that Tony Stark is gone.
The MCU has a long history of bringing back popular characters, and Ultron’s return will undoubtedly add another exciting chapter to the franchise’s narrative. Fans eagerly await more information on Armor Wars’ release date and plot details, eager to see what the MCU has in store for the iconic villain’s return.
