The world is learning what Avengers readers already know: Ultron is the most evil robot in fiction and the most relentless, maybe greatest Avengers villain.

You could call Scarlett Johansson Marvel’s utility player having appeared in Iron Man 2, Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and soon in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

What about a solo film for Black Widow?

While there isn’t one on the massive schedule of Marvel Studios movies, the actress says she and President Kevin Feige have discussed it.

Bettany voiced Tony Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. in four earlier Marvel films and materializes on screen as The Vision.
