It made common sense forTony to create Ultron in the MCU . Hank Pym had n’t yet been stick in and the Avengers require a placeable threat for their subsequence . Stark already being established as the leading technology mind on the major planet , his was the most logical paw to birth contrived intelligence . By the time Janet Van Dyne emerge from the Quantum Realm inAnt - Man and the Wasp(2018 ) , Ultron had long been destroy , so these two never get to interact .

A massive explosion of sparkle nearly blinds the nearby heroes and leaves a smoking volcanic crater , wherein the image standing is not Iron Man , but Janet Van Dyne . Only , the Wasp is float right next to Carol Danvers for the entire experience . The figure is really Ultron , now having graduate from seeking possession of Janet to imitating her exact appearance . Literally inhabit her hide .
What ’s miss by not adapt Ultron ’s human relationship to Janet is an chance to describe how scary he is . WhileAge of Ultronpainted Ultron as an uninhibited version of Tony Stark , he was n’t about as unhinge as the strip ' Ultron was . As a upshot , the MCU ’s Ultron is much less threatening than his comic record book counterpart . That , coupled with his life of about a workweek think he did n’t stop up allow for much of an impression .
