Let's Break Down the First Behind-the-Scenes Pictures from 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

From the set of 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'

Elizabeth Olsen and a costumed actor on the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron in Point Saint Martin, Italy. (Bauer Griffin)Marvel Films mastermind Joss Whedon has been busy shooting his Avengers sequel, Age of Ultron in Italy, and the first pictures from the set reveal a few details from the upcoming movie. The biggest reveal is an actor dressed up in what appears to be the underpinnings of an Ultron costume. Check out the pictures below.

1. The Guy in the Ultron Suit

Context: Ultron will be the super-smart robot villain in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He'll be played by James Spader, but we don't know how much of that performance will actually require Spader's physical body, since we're talking about a robot whose screen appearance will be mostly computer generated. In the comics, Ultron is created by super-scientiest Henry Pym, aka Ant-Man, but word is that his origin has changed for the movie. Instead, he might be the highly-evolved offspring of Jarvis, Tony Stark's artificially intelligent personal assistant.

2. Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch

Context: Elizabeth Olsen plays Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, who has the ability to manipulate the odds of things in her favor by using "hexes." We don't know how much of that ability is being kept in place for The Avengers, but we know her twin brother Quicksilver, aka Pietro Maximoff, will join her onscreen played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Interestingly, Quicksilver will also be appearing in this year's X-Men: Days of Future Past, which makes sense because in the comics, Magneto is the twins' father.
