What I look forward to seeing is how they'll strike the balance between Ultron being OP and the Avengers doing enough to defeat him without completely being taken out of the movie. I just hope it comes together really well with how they handle everything.

Whedon has had the script written by only himself, so hopefully he can top the first film.

If they have another mind controlled hero plot with Ultron for Avengers 2 I'm going to roll my eyes.
Adamantium is not exclusive to Xmen, or any Marvel property. It's in tons of other fiction, it's generic. Would be like saying they couldn't include Pizza in the next Iron Man because it featured heavily in Spiderman 2. If they can share Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch I strongly doubt the lawyers are going to bat an eyelash over something that isn't even trademarked and is used in literally hundreds of other fictional works including ones predating marvel.

Most likely since Vision is in this and Ultron creates Vision...which means he's basically under Ultrons control until the Vision rebels. Or something like that.

I dunno if the mind control powers have been used recently in the books and if they'd make a big point of it for the movie. I think we'll get plenty of Tony's systems/armors being hijacked and
Vision will be kinda similar to Hawkeye's role but he will probably end up deciding for himself that he's on the wrong team.
LOL, that's what you think.

I mean loki style where he turns a couple of good guys to his side so they have an excuse to get avengers fighting on screen.

Ah, unlikely then. The twins (Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch) and Vision will start out as bad guys but later join the cause, so that's our excuse for Avenger vs. Avenger fights.

Pym won't be Ultron's creator in the MCU - he is apparently a product of superstar scientist extraordinaire Tony Stark.

This is my only problem with the movie so far.

Could be SHIELD using Stark tech, since they're super shady. Heck, they could say he is a SHIELD creation and reveal in the Ant-Man film that it was originally Pym's idea.

Yeah, I'm still not convinced that Tony actually wakes up one day and decides to "create Ultron" just like Hank did, but I think they will remove Pym from the character entirely just because it's not a good idea narratively to tie such a major threat to a character you haven't established or are in the process of establishing.
As much as I love the Pym/Ultron father-son dynamic, Ultron's threat just carries a lot more weight when it comes directly from one of the team. I don't love that Tony continues to be the central figure of the MCU but I understand thematically why they did it. Maybe if Wright could have completed work on Ant-Man during Phase 1 when originally planned they could have stayed true to the canon, but the scheduling just didn't work out.
If I had to guess, HYDRA will attempt to hijack Tony's systems to create armor for their soldiers and an off-shoot of JARVIS or something will become sentient and go rogue.

That's obviously fairly different though... the term "Spider Man" is just a compound of two words, but you'd bet Marvel'd get their asses sued off if they tried to reference "Spider Man" in Avengers. It's really not a big deal, Vibranium essentially serves the purpose of "really almost magically impervious metal".
Considering that Marvel has been stating that Captain America: The Winter Soldier will directly lead into Avengers 2, I have to agree that SHIELD will be the creator of Ultron, as a part of their shadowy agenda.
An AI that ends up becoming more eh? I can live with that.
I hope it's a Shield thing, because if they relay this Tony Stark I will roll my eyes. That's the only problem I had with the first Avengers movie. Everyone had their moments sure, but Iron Man/Tony was definitely the star and central figure of the film, even though they seemed to have established Captain America as the leader of the team.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
That teaser trailer is mad hype. I can't even think how awesome the first trailer will be, seeing Iron Man, Cap, Hulk, Widow, Thor, Shield, Ultron and hopefully a few brief seconds of destruction. A whole year and a bit to go.
On the plus side, I haven't seen Thor 2 yet and I probably won't see Cap 2 for a while either, going to try and balance them all out. GoTG looks hype so I'm seeing that day one.
Maybe it's one of Tony's scrapped projects? Isn't the dude who does Iron Man's voice supposed to be the Vision or Ultron or something? I'm fine with either Tony/Shield creating Ultron anyway, as long as the design is badass like the ones posted.

Yeah,
giving Ultron's creation to SHIELD rather than Stark sounds WAY better since it opens the door for them to retcon it for Pym later on. Also it gets rid of the whole "IRON MAN IS THE CENTER OF THE MCU CUZ RDJ" vibe that they kinda have going on.
Avengers 3 is almost certainly going to be The Infinity Gauntlet.

Thanos is going to tear shut up I avengers3. I hope tony dies if RDJr decides not to renew his contact, but as long as the money is flowing flowing in Disney will keep him happy.
I don't mind keeping Tony Stark as the center of the Marvel Universe for a bit longer, particularly since he won't be getting his own movie in Phase 3 and probably won't get center stage quite so much in Avengers 3. RDJ is the breadwinner for a reason - he's easily the best realized character and most entertaining actor in their stable.
Dammit TDM, I'm drinking my coffee here :lol
Not never, but certainly not in Avengers 2 barring some major surprise cameo.
If something was going to happen, I suspect it would be in Avengers 3. Given the power of the Infinity Gems, it would also provide a story reason for connecting the universes beyond simply "oh hey, yeah Spider-man was around we just never mentioned him before...."
They wanted to show OSCORP Tower in Avengers 1 but couldn't get the cross-licensing agreement worked out in time. It's not impossible I suppose.

They will NEVER kill Stark. Won't happen. Even if RDJ is a major factor, he's become an incredibly popular character and they always need to have him available to bring back. After Avengers 3 they will probably retire Tony to cameo and supporting roles in films and re-cast when the time is right for Iron Man 4.
If any Avenger is going to die,
If any Avenger is going to die,
I suspect it will be Thor since they have Valhalla as a relatively easy to understand and not-too-cheap explanation for how he could come back. If Thor 3 is supposed to follow the Ragnarok arc I would expect it to happen there.

People who attend Comic-Con might get a peek at the film. Let's hope a full trailer can be readied by GoTG.

Yeah after Avengers 3 is probably when they will cycle in/out team members (or form the New Avengers team with those that stay on) and recast when the retired characters' next solo films come up in Phase 4 or 5.
Maybe a West Coast Avengers.

Kill off Stark in the fight with Thanos.
Wait a few movies for people to miss him.
Have Pym/T'Challa/Whoever else create a machine that can reach into alternate dimensions
Grab Stark from another dimension.
It'll give them a good reason to kill off someone memorable in Avengers 3, and the new actor doesn't have to look exactly like RDJ because he's from a different dimension.

What if that dimension they pull Stark from needs him?

Perfect excuse for that Iron Man/GotG team up. They wanted a cameo in the movie anyway, why not make a team up movie with random characters if Marvel movies are still popular by the time they run through every character they want to put in the universe?

I kind of want the team to get turned into stone in one of these movies. Comics Cap saved the team from that the day he was unfrozen.
Hell make Thanos turn them to stone. It would be a "holy shit!" moment for sure!
Maybe IM gets hit with the curse when he's flying and he shatters. >

Aaaaaand I've made a mistake. It'll film in Shepperton Studios, not Pinewood Studios. Will update the OP.
And the filming that started today is Second unit filming, not principal photography. That's sorted out in the OP too.
