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!

True Blood star Joe Manganiello is rumored be among the front-runners to play the Dark Knight opposite Henry Cavill in a Superman/Batman movie.

 

The on-screen team-up looks like it will be a clash of titans before an alliance of heroes with inspiration from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.

 

A battle between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight is just fine with Manganiello if he gets the role. Continue reading TRUE BLOOD Star Wants FIGHT CLUB of Superhero Movies
