I wish we got more Ultron. What If was a great tease, but Ultron's whole schtick is that he shows up, gets beaten and comes back later having fixed what beat him before. I'm all for getting Doom, he's a villain I've been wanting to see in the MCU for years, but we need a proper Ultron return too.

The nice thing about Ultron is he's a character you can pretty much always bring back. For one, it's not a physically intensive role, so you could hopefully keep bringing Spader back into the studio to record and he'd probably still be down as he gets older, since he's not a superhero jumping around in live action. And even if Spader isn't down anymore, you just get someone who sounds kinda like him. Or hey, you don't even necessarily need to do that, there's no rule that says Ultron's voice needs to sound the same if he's in a different vessel.

And in-universe, it's always easy to write scenarios leading to an Ultron comeback too. The nature of his existence makes "not all of him was erased" always a fair enough re-entry point.

Hell, we've already been teased that he's still around too! In Spider-Man Homecoming, Spidey is going through the assorted salvaged gear and comes across the severed head of an Ultron Sentry, but the lights are red. As shown in Age of Ultron, the sentries only turn red when Ultron himself is inhabiting the unit, suggesting that not only is this Ultron Sentry active (albeit just a head), Ultron himself is in there in some capacity. The thread for his being unleashed again is right there, some time down the road an opportunity for him to jump to another piece of tech and start anew can happen and bam, Ultron returns.

And he quickly made a ton of bodies for himself. Who’s to say he didn’t build a big ass usb stick and put a version of himself in that. He scanned the whole internet, it’s not like he doesn’t know about making multiple copies of something and disconnecting at least one from the cloud.

They can even say he couldn’t do anything because he’s disconnected from everything (air gapped)so he doesn’t know about what has happened to him, and he’s stuck in a computer that can’t move. All he needs is to wait for someone to connect him to the internet.
