In case you forgot in the midst of the Batman/Superman movie whirlwind, there's another little Indie pic coming out the same summer called The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Just as the Batfleck diatribes begin to die down on the Internet, Marvel ups and gives audiences another bit of casting news to ponder. While this one certainly isn't as controversial it is certainly...interesting.
According to "Deadline" Emmy Award winning actor James Spader will play the villain Ultron in the followup to the 2012 box office hit. While many speculated that Paul Bettany, the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S from Iron Man would take on the role, it's apparently not to be.
Spader has made a career of eclectic weird roles, everything from an elitist douche in Pretty In Pink to a sex deviant who gets off at car crash sites in David Cronenberg's Crash. This role seems right up Spader's alley.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron releases May 1st, 2015.
