Ultron is returning in a new MCU project, and leaks have already spoiled how he survived the events of Avengers: Age Of Ultron.
Personally I think Ultron was done dirty by the MCU, as for such an notorious Avengers villain having him killed off in the film he shows up in felt like a wasted opportunity.
It was theorised he’d always come back eventually, and sure enough that’s exactly what’s happening as he’s said to be making a comeback in the upcoming Vision series.
The series will follow the White Vision, last seen in WandaVision, as he attempts to restore his lost memories, and he’ll apparently find himself in Madripoor where he’ll meet up with a familiar face, his creator Ultron.

James Spader will apparently reprise his role but interestingly Ultron will come back in a new human body. Not only that but other AIs created by Tony Stark like F.R.I.D.A.Y. and E.D.I.T.H will return in human bodies as well, but what this means for the plot is unknown.
It’s likely Ultron has some sort of evil scheme in mind that involves bringing various AIs on his side, and perhaps he’ll give the same pitch to Vision in the hopes he can put him in a human body as well, but that remains to be seen.
What’s important is Ultron is coming back, but I’ll be honest and say I’m not too keen on the idea of him shedding his cybernetic shell…
It just feels like another waste of his character, and if they were going to bring him back it would have made more sense to have him appear as a secondary villain in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, perhaps working with Doctor Doom but with a hidden agenda.
