Fire up the Speculatron for Avengers: Age of Ultron!

The big deal at the 374th annual San Diego Comic-Con was the announcement the sequel to The Avengers was going to be titled Avengers: Age of Ultron. The big surprise here is that most fans assumed that Thanos (the villain revealed in The Avengers stinger) would be the big villain in Avengers 2.

It certainly leaves us with more questions than answers. Ultron is a classic Avengers villain (arguably THE classic Avengers villain) so it's not a surprise that he's being used. The questions all surround how he's being introduced. In the comics he's a robot designed by Hank Pym (Ant-Man) that attains sentience and wants to kill all humans. So where's Hank Pym?

Also "Age of Ultron" is a mini-series currently wrapping up in the comic book-verse. It's a pretty crazy parallel-universe type story that's virtually unfilmable and involves tons of characters that either haven't been introduced yet in the Marvel movie universe or are properties not under the control of Marvel/Disney. Is the name just a coincidence or is it really going to be influenced by the series in some roundabout way?

Where does this leave the Ant-Man film? What about Guardians of the Galaxy? Is Vin Diesel really playing The Vision? Like I said questions questions questions.
