New or Recurring? New.
Last Seen In: Tony Stark’s imagination. Ultron was designed as an extension of Stark’s international peacekeeping force, although, as they say, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions… and killer robots. What’s great about Ultron (and Spader’s brilliant motion-captured performance) is that, since he is based on a program designed by Tony, he’s able to incorporate elements of Downey Jr.’s wise-ass delivery and body language. It’s really quite a feat of both technical virtuosity and actor-y pyrotechnics.
Will He Be Back? While it should surprise no one that Ultron is, ultimately, defeated at the close of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" (as far as "ages" go, this one is relatively brief), this is a series of movies based on comic books, where just about anything can happen. So we may not have seen the last of Ultron.
