"In one of the final scenes, all the Ultrons were supposed to form a large Ultron and Avengers were set to fight that but the sequence got cut for time. It was this close. It was inspired directly by Robot," he was quoted as saying.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of Avengers: End Game will be released end of April.
