Ultron is more than a robot in Avengers 2


Just when you think that James Spader is just a voice of our robot villain in the Avengers sequel you could not be more wrong, Not only will James be portraying the voice for Ultron but he'll also be playing the character.

"We did not hire James Spader to do a robot voice," Feige said. The producer added, "He's a very unique and incredibly exciting and unpredictable actor. And Ultron in the comics is a robot, but what's cool about him in the comics -- and certainly how Joss Whedon is interpreting him for the movie -- is that he is much more than just a robot. ... He's infused with much character."

Using full motion and face capture to add to Ultron's character? James Spader is amazing and this is something that will add a more personal feel to Ultron he's humanized which adds to the fact that he hates humans enough to basically bring the heroes on the brink of extinction and this is a performance that cant get here sooner!

The Avengers: Age of Ultron: James Spader talks Ultron


Like in a previous blog James Spader was the only pick for Ultron it's being confirmed now through quotes by the man... uh... robot himself James Spader:

"I have spoken to Joss Whedon about it," Spader said. "Just this weekend I went in for them to take very extensive photographs, head scans, body scans, and all kinds of things in preparation for figuring out how the hell I'm gonna fit in this Ultron character!"

"I'm not a planner," Spader added. "I like to try something different, to just see what happens... I think it'll be a lot of fun and it's incredibly nostalgic for me. When I was a kid my best friend had trunks of comics and I didn't have any so I used to love going for sleepovers at his house. Also I have three sons and two of them have a great interest in comics so they're excited I'm playing the role."

Having this much preparation is going to prove that the time and effort going into this sequel and villain and choice is going to be better than we all think, I'm still on the fence but that's another discussion for another media option.

James Spader was Whedons ONLY pick for Ultron


Already being confirmed that James Spader would portray Ultron in the Avengers: Age of Ultron sequel it's notable to say that Joss Whedon has come out and said that his only choice was James Spader and here is the reason why:

"Spader was my first and only choice, he's got that hypnotic voice that can be eerily calm and compelling," Whedon told Marvel. "But he's also very human and humorous. Ultron is not Hal, Spader can play all of the levels. He's the guy to break the Avengers into pieces." Whedon then apparently let out a maniacal, evil laugh (as he is wont to do).

His voice is haunting it's true and it's going to be interesting how Ultron will work out in the end as a whole being introduced in the movie universe but we will definetly see with more news and confirmations!
