Marvel confirmed James Spader will play Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The Emmy-Award Winner television and film actor (The Blacklist) will play the evil artificial intelligence and the legendary enemy of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

 

Joss Whedon returns to write and direct the sequel coming in 2015. No word on if Spader will be the voice of Ultron or the portrayal. Whedon has stated the origin of Ultron will be different from the comic books.

 

Here’s my theory on who will create Ultron and I guess we can now disregard my theory on who will play him! What do you think of Spader’s casting and the theory – once you read it!

Here’s a first look at Dustin Weaver’s art for Infinity #2 from Marvel. Writer Jonathan Hickman is joined by Jim Cheung, Weaver and Avengers World artist Jerome Opena on the epic clash between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vs. Thanos and the mysterious Builders.

 

I’m a huge fan of Hickman and Weaver’s SHIELD series so it’s a thrill to see them work together again. The Hickman/Weaver SHIELD series is not about Nick Fury and super spies but rather Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Howard Stark and other super brains in a history twisting epic.
