 James Spader is the Avengers' new enemy  Quote: The Avengers sequel has found its villain.
James Spader has been cast as Ultron in Joss Whedon's sequel set for release on May 1, 2015, Marvel announced Thursday.
The actor currently stars in NBC's spy drama The Blacklist and appeared on the big screen in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln.
At a Comic-Con panel in July, Whedon teased the sequel's storyline. "We're doing our own version of the origin story of Ultron," he said.
In addition to Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and Captain America, superheroes Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch will be joining the Avengers team for the sequel.
ICM Partners and Ziffren Brittenham lawyer Melanie Cook represented Spader. I am not too familiar with the character as he exists in the comics, but I dig this news. Spader is a riveting, unusual actor who deserves richer film roles. Unless, of course, this is a ruse, and he ends up with a 5-minute cameo as a tipsy British actor playing Ultron in return for prostitutes and cash.  _________________   1. The Lost City of Z - 2.

Re: James Spader is the Avengers' new enemy Pretty interesting choice but Jame Spader is not really known for his distinctive voice like Keifer Sutherland and Kelsey Grammar.

Re: James Spader is the Avengers' new enemy I did a brief Google investigation: so is this a Darth Vader type deal where no actual human features are required? Just a robotic shell with a voice?

Re: James Spader is the Avengers' new enemy David wrote: I did a brief Google investigation: so is this a Darth Vader type deal where no actual human features are required? Just a robotic shell with a voice? No just voice. Personally, I think it would be better if James Spader plays Henry Pym who was the one who created Ultron.

Re: James Spader is the Avengers' new enemy Idk why they didn't just keep the guy who voiced Jarvis anyway since Ultron is gonna be a version of him.

Re: James Spader is the Avengers' new enemy Spader has a pretty deep voice, actually. I haven't seen him for years in anything, so it must have gotten deeper.
