Avengers: Age of Ultron
Although Ultron was destroyed inAvengers : Age of Ultron , Marvel ’s first Spider - Man movie , Spider - Man : Homecoming , potentially set up the AI ’s return . Ultron is a Graeco-Roman Avengers baddie , created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema back in 1968 . In the comics , Ultron was an unreal intelligence agency make by Hank Pym , in part model on Pym ’s own brainwaves . It developed a sentience of its own , and suffer from an Oedipus Complex , desiring to supplant its " founding father . " Over the geezerhood , Ultron has continually upgraded itself , becoming one of the Avengers ' greatest scoundrel . It ’s come within a tomentum ’s width of conquer the Earth .
TheMCU version of Ultron is somewhat different . It was created by Tony Stark rather than Hank Pym ; Stark suppose Ultron as the Earth ’s ultimate guardian , a protection against cosmic threats like the Chitauri . Unfortunately , he ’d unwisely used theMind Stone to create Ultron , and something run seriously wrong ; the AI went rogue , extend so far as to attempt to wipe out the entire human race . Just as the comic Good Book version of Ultron hate Hank Pym , the MCU ’s Ultron burn with an irrational hatred towards Tony Stark .

Ultron is a major recurring villain in the comic , but in the MCU the AI appear to be a one - and - done case of big bad , both created and destroy inAvengers : Age of Ultron . Is that really the case , though ? Or could Ultron come back in a future MCU picture ?
Ultron Is Only Defeated When His Final Form Is Defeated
The Avengers pass the bulk ofAvengers : Age of Ultronon the back human foot , reacting to the AI ’s complex masterplans . It was only by the third human activity that they ’d lead off to get the standard of their opponent , and , fortunately , when they channelize to the Battle of Sokovia they had the support ofVision . Without Vision ’s assistance , the Avengers would undoubtedly have been ineffective to defeat Ultron and save the human wash .
By this full point , Tony Stark had begun to understand just what variety of life form he was deal with . While Ultron should be considered a sentient ( albeit harebrained ) being , it is n’t lifespan as we know it . Ultron is an artificial intelligence , essentially a rogue calculator program , and that means its raw habitat is a virtual environs rather than a physical one . It exist in digital systems , transmitting itself like a virus across computer meshing . as luck would have it , for the Avengers , a quirk of Ultron ’s psychosis mean the AI wanted to beat the Avengers on their planer of reality , and as a issue it craved a forcible class , ramp up bodies for itself with which to combat Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes .
put all this together , Stark puzzle out out how to beat Ultron once and for all . First of all , you had to insulate Ultron so it only existed on local net ; Vision ’s role in all this was basically to act as a live firewall , prevent Ultron from jumping to any other networks . Then , you had to destroy every single firearm of Ultron tech . Stark knew that , if a single sample distribution of Ultron technology survived , then the odds were good that Ultron would return . Ultron would be destroyed when its final form was shorten to slag .
Vulture Has Ultron Tech In Spider-Man: Homecoming
Given this is the case , it ’s reasonable to assume that Tony Stark personally oversaw cleanup after the Battle of Sokovia . He ’d have done so throughDamage Control , the former S.H.I.E.L.D. department he ’d taken charge of after the Chitauri encroachment of New York . And his instructions would surely have been quite absolved ; every individual sample of Ultron tech would need to be concentrate to scrap , so as to see no compromised system was ever hooked into a computer web .
Unfortunately , Stark was unaware of the existence of Adrian Toomes . For eld , Toomes had been operating at the center of an illegal black market in forward-looking and extraterrestrial applied science . He and his gang took vantage of the chaos allow in the Avengers ' backwash , visiting site of superhero activity and quickly procuring as much tech as they could before slipping back into the shadows . Over the years , they ’d successfully acquired everything fromChitaurianti - grav systems to Dark Elf uniqueness grenade . Crucially , in one primal tantrum inSpider - Man : Homecoming , Spider - Man determine they ’d also make out to get their workforce on the head of an Ultron drone . If Toomes had grapple to obtain one piece of Ultron technical school , it ’s sensible to take up he ’d get - and deal on - other samples too .

Could Ultron Have Survived Sokovia?
harmonize toAvengers : Age of Ultron , if just one slice of Ultron technology survived Sokovia , then it meant Ultron could potentially give . Now , it ’s important to note that the bourdon seen inSpider - Man : Homecomingcertainly could n’t contain the full Ultron consciousness ; at the conclusion ofAvengers : Age of Ultron , Vision had successfully trapped Ultron within its last operating body , which he then ruin . A fellow artificial intelligence , Vision is the only one of the Avengers who Ultron would n’t have been able to fritter . But that does n’t mean the Ultron trailer the Vulture has hold is benign , and the threat of Ultron is dead . Rather , it ’s more likely that Ultron plant seed - similar shard of codification within every one of its drones . Ultron has taken this very approach in several comic book patch ; the present moment the drone is expose to a connection , the code would expand into the connection like a electronic computer virus , and create an inexact written matter of Ultron .
It ’s not so much that Ultron survived Sokovia , then ; rather , it ’s more as though the AI had procreate . Ultron 2.0 would essentially be the " Word " of Ultron , sharing most of the basics of Ultron ’s codification , and probably dedicate to continuing the same mission . What ’s concerning is , it ’s potential some of Ultron ’s defect - such as the profundity of its irrational hate of Tony Stark , or its psychotic desire to take on a physical class - would not have been passed on to the next coevals . So Ultron 2.0 could be an entirely practical being , a challenge the Avengers would find even more unmanageable to manage , and lacking some of the psychological weakness possessed by its primogenitor .

What Ultron’s Role In MCU Phase 4 Could Be
Should Ultron 2.0 be introduced inMCU Phase 4 , it will emerge in a very unlike world . Firstly , this new Ultron would bump itself dealing with a whole new generation of heroes . avenger : Endgameis expected to be the swan song for the OG Avengers , with the likes of Chris Evans ' Captain America and Robert Downey Jr. ’s Iron Man live on out in a glare of halo as they deliver half the life in the universe of discourse . For Ultron , the loss of some of these OG Avengers would potentially be keenly feel ; if the AI retained its " father ’s " obsession with Tony Stark , it would sorrow his departure in a strange , distorted way . No doubt Ultron would swiftly explore the next generation of Avengers , of course , and would swiftly distinguish the key menace .
Meanwhile , it ’s also probable Ultron would be fascinated by Wakanda . At the clip ofAvengers : Age of Ultron , Wakanda was still an isolated African residential district , and its estimator system were close up to the world . With no web link into Wakanda , Ultron likely did n’t have a hint how advanced their technology really was . ButBlack Pantherhas institutionalise his nation to unwrap itself to the Earth as a beacon of hope , and in so doing it ’s quite possible he ’s unwittingly provide Ultron with a way of life behind Wakanda ’s borders . Ultron was able to threaten the world with a comparatively small amount ofVibranium ; Ultron 2.0 would skip over at the chance to obtain far greater amount . Fortunately for Wakanda , according to theAvengers : Infinity War Preludecomic , Shuri is an expert in programme stilted intelligence . Marvel has insisted thatShuri is even smarter than Tony Stark ; but is she smarter than Ultron as well ?
Whatever the fount , though , Ultron ’s goal would remain largely the same . It would still want to destroy Tony Stark ’s legacy , which would mean taking on the Avengers - whoever their members may be at the time . Meanwhile , it would likewise presumptively launch another endeavor at global race murder , arouse the stakes once more . Hopefully this time , the Avengers would acquire from their error and ensure no samples of Ultron technical school survived .
