James Spader to be Avengers Sequel's Ultron

The next instalment of the Avengers cinematic series is 2015's "Avengers: Age of Ultron", there's been a lot of talk about the upcoming addition to the Marvel cinematic universe recently, such as new characters ( with the possibility of the Wasp making an appearance ), a possible death of one of the lead characters, and now Marvel have revealed the actor set to play the robotic villain of the film, Ultron, that actor is James Spader.

Now, I'm assuming Spader will only be voicing the character in the film. I'm not familiar with any of the actor's work, but if he was chosen by Joss Whedon ( who did a pretty good job with the first film ), he's probably a good choice for the job.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron is directed by Joss Whedon and supposedly stars the main cast of the first movie; Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlet Johhanson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson; along with new additions including James Spader and more. It's due to be released on May 1st 2015.
