The Avengers: Age of Ultron Buzz: With Marvel Studios set to reveal a first look at the highly anticipated Avengers sequel on tonight's ABC special Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige spoke more about the film's devilish villain Ultron, voiced by James Spader. He told Movies.com:
"Introducing the new characters is going to be a lot of fun for the movie," said Feige. "That ever-changing roster is very important in the Avengers comics, and so how do we start to play with that [on the big screen]? Also our bad guy is great. I think people are going to be very, very excited to see what we're doing with the voice that Joss [Whedon] is bringing to life with James Spader for Ultron. We love Ultron from the comics, and have always loved Ultron, and at no point do we want him to just be a robot. We want him to have an extreme personality and attitude, and James Spader is doing an unbelievable job. Again, for us it's always about subverting expectations. Whenever you think you know what's coming next, we surprise people or deliver it in a slightly unexpected way. And Spader is doing that with Mr. Ultron."
