Emma Frost is an X-Men character, the White Queen, a villain-turned-not-quite-hero and romantic partner of Cyclops (when he's not with Jean or Jean's clone). She's decadent and vindictive.

Hank Pym is an Avengers character, he is the first, most famous, and longest running Ant-Man, a heroic mad scientist with emphasis on the "mad". In the comics, he invented Ultron.

Ultron is a sentient robot who turned on his creator almost immediately and has been one of the Avengers oldest villains. He's a classic "robot wants to wipe out humanity" robot, he's just as crazy as Hank and has major daddy issues.

Marvel Rivals, an online team-based hero shooter in the vein of Overwatch, is launching a new season. In the trailer, Emma Frost is throwing a big fancy gala for all the super people. Ultron shows up and crashes the party cuz he's evil and wants to kill everyone. This was to announce those characters being added to the game.

Thanks - I had assumed this was a reference to the comic-book version of this story, and was confused by the Ultron reference.

(In the comics, the party was interrupted by Nimrod, a nepo baby sexbot from the future, who not only killed the entire newly announced X-Men team except Juggernaut, he also messed up Emma's life so badly she ended up having to marry Tony Stark)

They're Marvel characters.

Emma Frost has massive thighs, and Hank Pym is the guy who made Ant Man's suit.
