Ending Explained
In the climax of "Avengers: Age of Ultron," the Avengers face off against Ultron in the fictional Eastern European city of Sokovia, which Ultron has lifted into the sky with the intent of crashing it back to Earth to cause global extinction. The team works together to evacuate the city's inhabitants using a helicarrier, with the help of Nick Fury and other supporting S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. The Avengers then engage in a fierce battle with Ultron and his army of robot drones. During the battle, every Avenger plays a crucial role in protecting the civilians and combating the drones. Scarlet Witch, in a moment of personal triumph and anguish, destroys Ultron's primary body after he kills her brother, Quicksilver. However, a remaining drone of Ultron attempts to escape, but is intercepted and destroyed by Vision, effectively ending Ultron's threat. The movie concludes with the Avengers having saved Earth but at great personal cost. The team is reshuffled, with Hulk and Thor going their separate ways, and Captain America and Black Widow preparing to train new Avengers: Scarlet Witch, Falcon, War Machine, and Vision. This sets the stage for future conflicts and team dynamics explored in subsequent Marvel films.
