More Spoilers on The Avengers 2 and First Ultron Battle!
Entertainment Weekly has posted a great preview of The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which hits theaters next year. But now the site has published more details that include the superhero team's first battle with the titular AI.
We already know that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) creates Ultron to lead a task force to help the Avengers known as the Iron Legion. To do so, he inserts some elements of his own personality into the AI, which chooses to amplify the negative traits and suppress the positive ones.
"It's not the good version that could've come from his intellect and personality," said star Chris Hemsworth. "It's the bad son."
The site then reveals the first fight scene with Ultron in Avengers Tower, where the team is having a party:
"Stark sees the soiree as a chance for the Avengers to schmooze with the city's powerbrokers in a post-S.H.I.E.L.D. environment, showing that they are not merely superpowered vigilantes. Half-filled glasses of wine, bottles of beer, and partially eaten plates of sushi and cookies litter the tables in this three-story marble and steel structure, constructed entirely within the soundstage-complete with a loading dock for the Quinjet and an upstairs laboratory for Stark and Banner (Mark Ruffalo) to blind themselves with science. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has put aside the cape and chest plate for a t-shirt and slacks, while Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow has swapped her leathery catsuit for an empire-waist cocktail dress with a billowing skirt - which helps hide the actress's real-life pregnancy. Banner looks a little uptight in his purple button-down and tweedy jacket, while Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye is in wallflower mode, lingering on the periphery by himself, ever the loner. Chris Evans' Captain America is making small talk with former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). Most of the partygoers have left; now it's just the old friends lingering."
Ultron then attacks with the Legionaires. The team fights them off, but Ultron has a message for them. "I know you're 'good' people," he says. "I know you mean well. But you didn't think it through. There is only one path to peace: your extermination."
