The star of the new TV series The Blacklist James Spader, said he signed up to star in the superhero sequel The Avengers: Age of Ultron for the chance to “try something different”.
Marvel confirmed James Spader’s role as villain Ultron last July at San Diego’s Comic Con.
“I think it’ll be a lot of fun and it’s incredibly nostalgic for me. When I was a kid, my best friend had trunks of comics and I didn’t have any so I used to love going for sleepovers at his house. Also I have three sons and two of them have a great interest in comics so they’re excited I’m playing the role”, he told The Independent.
Spader revealed in an interview with Inquirer Entertainment that preparation to play Ultron has begun: “I have spoken to Joss Whedon about it. And yes, actually, just this weekend I went in for them to take very extensive photographs, head scans, body scans, and all kinds of things in preparation for figuring out how the hell I’m gonna fit in this Ultron character!”.
Written and directed by Joss Whedon, The Avengers: Age of Ultron begins filming early next year and is scheduled for release on may 1st, 2015.Meanwhile, don’t miss James Spader’s new tv series The Blacklist, Monday nights on NBC at 10pm.
