News: James Spader is Ultron!

I just returned from vacation up north without any internet access or wi-fi. So when I came home and checked IMDB this was the biggest news. I'm not sure how long this has been out so this might be old news to some of you.

I don't know, but what I do know is that Marvel announced that James Spader will be playing the villain Ultron in The Avengers sequel titled The Avengers: Age of Ultron. There has not been any confirmation on whether he will be doing only the voice of Ultron or a motion capture performance like Mark Ruffalo did as The Hulk in The Avengers.

I think that this is an excellent casting move. James Spader is a very talented and underrated actor and it is good to see him getting more mainstream roles.

The one role of his that sticks out to me the most was him as Robert California on the eight season of The Office. He was the only good part about season eight. In a sense, he was the villain of The Office that season and he was fantastic. Spader also has the perfect voice for Ultron.

"That guy creeps me out, but... he might also be a genius"

How do you feel about this? Are you psyched for Spader to kill it as Ultron or are you hesitant? I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this is better casting news than Ben Affleck as Batman. With all this casting news being announced I have a feeling that we are going to get our first Star Wars Episode VII actor announced. Fingers crossed!
