According to Marvel Studios president Kevin Fiege over at Entertainment Weekly , Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) takes inspiration from Strucker's (Thomas Kretschmann) work to improve his own in Avengers: Age of Ultron “Von Strucker was working on a lot of stuff, including robotics. Tony realizes, ‘[Those robotics] might be able to help me get over the hump of some of the AI stuff I’ve been working on.’”To this end, Ultron (James Spader) comes about as a result of work that Strucker started and Stark finished.When Ultron goes bad, he uses Stark's familiar AI program J.A.R.V.I.S. to forge his own project: Vision (Paul Bettany).Vision isn't the only thing that's new in Age of Ultron. Writer-director Joss Whedon has reportedly included a romantic subplot between Natasha "Black Widow" Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) and Bruce "Hulk" Banner (Mark Ruffalo), which is something that was alluded to in the trailers.
