Even More Details About Ultron, Jarvis in 'The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron'

The Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1, and even more details have emerged about the creation of the titular villain in the superhero sequel.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Ultron's first form in the movie will be one of Tony Stark's destroyed Iron Legion robots, but the A.I. has by this point "been consuming every element of human knowledge, and has reached the conclusion that the thing most threatening the planet is humanity in general—and the Avengers in particular. He’s ranting, confused. Ultron mentions being unsure where he is, and says he had to escape. But doing that meant 'killing the other guy.'"

The "other guy" is J.A.R.V.I.S., something the team soon realizes (after Ultron escapes) when Tony tellst he team that his personal A.I. should have been there to keep a program like Ultron in check. When Iron Man tries to bring up a hologram of J.A.R.V.I.S., all the team sees is "an incoherent image of violence that looks like a digital massacre."

The site previously reported that Tony Stark apparently targets Hydra leader Baron Von Strucker for certain reasons.

"Von Strucker was working on a lot of stuff, including robotics," Marvel Studios President and producer Kevin Feige tells Entertainment Weekly. "Tony realizes, '[Those robotics] might be able to help me get over the hump of some of the AI stuff I’ve been working on.'"

Ultron is apparently born out of the technology of these two men, and he "shreds" JARVIS when he comes alive.
