Plot summary
In Sokovia, the Avengers strike a Hydra base and recover Loki's scepter. Its commander, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, has experimented on people with the scepter, giving the twins Pietro and Wanda Maximoff superhuman speed and powers of the mind and energy. Back at the team's headquarters, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner find an artificial intelligence hidden in the scepter's gem and quietly use it to complete Ultron, a dormant global defense program meant to protect Earth. The program wakes with a mind of its own and concludes that the only way to save the planet is to wipe out humanity.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- An early draft of the screenplay included Captain Marvel, and Joss Whedon shot visual effects plates of her flying into Avengers Headquarters at the end of the film; Kevin Feige said she was removed since the character had not yet been cast, and those shots were reused for Wanda Maximoff instead.
SPOILER
An early draft of the script had Bruce Banner's Quinjet detected near Saturn at the end of the film, but it was decided to keep it Earth-based and leave his fate ambiguous to dispel rumors of a "Planet Hulk" film; Marvel later adapted that storyline for Thor: Ragnarok.- Tom Hiddleston's scenes did not make the theatrical cut: Joss Whedon said what was shot "didn't play" and he did not want the film to feel overstuffed, while Hiddleston said test audiences had overemphasized Loki's role and thought he was controlling Ultron.
- Independent theater owners in Germany, about 700 screens, boycotted the film after Disney raised its rental fee from 47.7% to 53% of ticket sales; the owners felt the increased fees, with the cost of digitization and rising staff and marketing costs, might force some of them out of business.
- Most of the computer screens in Stark's lab, Dr. Cho's laboratory, the Quinjet and other locations were not added in post-production but were working screens on set, adding to the realism and saving some of the post-production budget.
- A FilmL.A. Inc. report on actual production costs indicated a gross budget of $444 million for Avengers: Age of Ultron, with a net of $365 million after $50.7 million was offset by payments from the UK tax authority, making it one of the most expensive films ever made.
- ILM opened a facility in London, citing Avengers: Age of Ultron as a catalyst for the expansion, and developed a new motion capture system for the film called Muse, which can better capture an actor's performance and combine different takes.
- Walt Disney India's consumer products arm partnered with 50 brands to promote the film, considered the highest ever for any film, Hollywood or Bollywood, released in India; the previous record, held by Ra.One (2011), was 25 partners.
