Based what was reported from Comic Con, footage from Age of Ultron showed the Avengers trying to pick up Thor's hammer with no success. Cap budged it a little but he still couldn't pick it up. Stark thinks the hammer's handle is encrypted for fingerprint recognition, concluding that's the reason only Thor can lift it. Thor explains they were not worthy. Cue Ultron crashing the party...

I'm wondering if the hammer will be the key to Ultron's end...if he's defeated in the movie. Bruce Banner couldn't pick up Mjolnir as the Hulk in the first Avengers movie, so how is Ultron going to pick it up? Considering the carnage Ultron is going to cause, it's certainly not going to be worthy. Ultron thinks it's doing the right thing wiping out humanity. Any attempts to grab the hammer should throw off its thinking. It won't be able to comprehend how it can't control it. Maybe because Ultron's knowledge base is from Earth's science, technology, philosophy and a rudimentary background of alien tech thanks to the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D.; but it still would have no clue about Asgard's science and technology or its mysticisms.

Thoughts?
