Joss Whedon/Marvel Might Be Changing Up Ultron's Origin!

Earlier the news came out that Ultron will be the nemesis of The Avengers in the sequel movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

But in the movie version, Dr. Henry Pym will not be creating Ultron.

In a piece/interview with io9, they write that,


"this will be an Ultron whose origin story doesn't include Pym."

If Whedon isn't pulling our legs to keep us guessing, this breaks away from the classic origin of the evil super computer.

He does tell io9 that,


"We don't have to have him (Pym). It works very simply — this is Marvel cinema, not Marvel comics."
Origins have been slightly modified in the Marvel Cinematic Universe of some characters. But it's been done so in a fluid fashion.

Events in the the Iron Man, Thor and Captain America movies were all jumbled up a bit to accommodate the telling of years of comic story in a two-hour time-span.  But then again, the bad guys have had altered origins in prior movies.

So there's that.

But what this does for Ant-Man fans is let a little hot air out of their idea of seeing Hank Pym or maybe even The Wasp in the Avengers sequel.
