Joss Whedon will pit Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against what some consider their greatest enemy (he gets my vote!) in 2015.
Marvel announced that the sequel to Earth’s Biggest Moneymaker will be Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Whedon said the new film will not be based on the recent Age of Ultron storyline by Brian Michael Bendis and will not follow the same comic book origins. Founding Avenger, original Ant-Man and Ultron creator Hank Pym will not appear in the sequel. (See it here on Marvel.com.)
Ultron gave artificial intelligence a bad name! The villain’s creator is leading a new team of robots and cyborgs in Avengers A.I. #1 out tomorrow.
In the aftermath of Age of Ultron, Hank Pym is on the road to redemption and leading a team of Marvel’s mightiest artificial intelligences. Writer Sam Humphries explains Pym’s new role and the team’s mission with Marvel.com.
“As for the new team, it’s just a blast of excitement and nerves for Hank. Remember, Hank was there on day one of the Avengers, and he was a member of West Coast Avengers as well. I think the opportunity to assemble—sorry—a new team is like another chance to get it right, another chance to be a force for good in the world. It’s like that Continue reading A New Kind of AVENGERS
One of Marvel’s most classic heroes stars in Age of Ultron #10AI by Mark Waid this week.
The Marvel Universe is recovering from the final battle with Ultron and is not prepared for what’s been unleashed across the multiverse but a founding Avenger has a new purpose.
The Age of Ultron began way back when Hank Pym invented the artificial intelligence. The redemption of Hank Pym begins.
“The aftermath focuses heavily on Hank Pym,” said Brevoort at C2E2 earlier this year, “He goes through a fairly transformative experience… given that he’s dead. Age of Ultron #10 AI is a deep dive into Continue reading AGE OF ULTRON – Hank Pym Aftermath

“Everybody in the book is drawing sequences that are tailored for them.” said Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort earlier this year.
The finale marks the return of Neil Gaiman to Marvel and introduction Angela (from the Image book Spawn) to the Marvel Universe in Age of Ultron #10. Angela’s Marvel story will continue into Guardians of the Galaxy #5, co-written by Bendis and Gaiman.
The Age of Ultron really began Hank Pym creating the artificial intelligence and the founding Avenger will be central to the immediate future of the Marvel Universe.
“The aftermath focuses heavily on Hank Pym,” said Brevoort, “He goes through a fairly transformative experience… given that he’s dead. Age of Ultron #10 AI is a deep dive into the history of Hank Pym.”
Age of Ultron #10AI
As a founding Avenger Pym has had a major influence on the Marvel Universe and generations of fans and writers.
“I had a full run of Tales To Astonish. Pym was my guy,” said Rick Remender, “At the retreats, there’s no shortage of Pym ideas. There’s a lot of love for the guy.”
It’s the final countdown to Age of Ultron #10! Wolverine made a brutal call to prevent the world from Ultron’s ultimate victory but it created in a horrific new reality.
In one week an all-star creative team will unveil the grand finale! We know the events of this issue will introduce Angela to the Marvel Universe and lead to a new destiny for founding Avenger, Hank Pym, but who will survive?
