'Avengers 2' Promo Art Drops Major Clues About Ultron's Origins Story, Vision's Allies In 'Age Of Ultron' [VIDEO]
New promo art for The Avengers: Age of Ultron hit the web on Tuesday.
The new images not only showcase Black Widow's (Scarlett Johansson) new suit, but also give some surprising background information about Ultron (James Spader) and Vision's (Paul Bettany) origins (see photos here).
Writer/director Joss Whedon previously revealed that the film's villain and JARVIS' ultimate evolution would be tied up with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), but the sci-fi guru kept a few key facts to himself.

"First discovered as a simple computer program hidden among the ruins of the Chitauri invasion of New York, the being known as Ultron soon completed it's development into a sophisticated artificial intelligence after some experimentation by Tony Stark," reads a new ID card for Spader's baddie. "Ultron's first shocking ultimatum upon gaining consciousness was to declare the human race its enemy. Setting out to exterminate all life on the planet, the unstable and emotional Ultron seeks to upgrade its mechanical body to an ultimate, unstoppable form. With an army of robotic drones and the ability to enter and corrupt any computer network, Ultron will stop at nothing to see humanity wiped out."
As with Ultron, the Vision's will come into being thanks to a little meddling from the Science Bros.
"Programmed by the combined geniuses of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner and imparted with the ability to fly, project intense energy beams and change the density of his form, the Vision has proved himself a worthy hero, aiding the Avengers in their struggle against the evil A.I. Ultron," according to the superhero's profile card.
Find out how the two new characters will play into The Avengers 2 when the Marvel film enters theaters on May 1.
