If there was ever a video game adaptation that seemed to scream for an animated version, it’s Minecraft. The signature squared look of Minecraft’s world and its characters is difficult to pull off in live-action, but the upcoming film, A Minecraft Movie, is doing just that.

In the MCU’s continuity, Ultron was created by Tony Stark, and he rebelled against his creator by trying to eradicate humanity. Vision proved to instrumental in the battle against Ultron, and he seemingly destroyed the final copy of his android father. However, since the destruction of that Ultron occurred off-screen, there may be some wiggle room for Ultron’s resurrection.Although Ultron has been absent from the primary MCU since his initial appearance, alternate universe versions of the character appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
