A la Kaecilius in Doctor Strange? The original idea was that, at the end of Ant-Man and Wasp, Tony Stark (or someone else from the Illuminati) would approach Hank Pym about Ultron. The Illuminati (Stark, Richards, Pym, Abigail Brand, Nick Fury) would be the only ones in the know about the ominous threat looming over the Earth (which they don't yet know is the Beyonder), and so they would create Ultron as a peacekeeping artificial intelligence to protect the Earth. In Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, the main antagonist would be the Vision, who is serving an unknown master throughout the movie and most likely stealing technology and attacking those who pose a threat to his master. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver would be chasing him down, and towards the end they would discover he is actually working for Ultron. Maybe the twins would try to fight Ultron and get their asses handed to them, but the Vision is convinced by Wanda to come over the good side and he saves them, but Ultron is of course not defeated that easily. With the knowledge of Ultron now coming out, that would set up a conflict among the Avengers in Avengers 3.

Long story short, the Vision would be the villain in the movie, the twins would probably be trying to stop him from carrying out some evil plan for Ultron, they learn about Ultron at the end, Vision turns good, and then they get mad at Tony Stark for keeping this huge secret from everyone and that puts the team in a rough place for Avengers 3. We could also have a more mutant-related subplot in there, maybe Vision is trying to steal Sentinel technology for Ultron to use and reawakens a Sentinel, we could bring in Simon Trask (Bolivar Trask's vengeful brother), have some minor mutant villains or something. There's a lot we could do with it.
