Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is currently filming and the higher ups are already praising James Spader’s performance. Recently, director Joss Whedon talked up Spader at the expense of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki.
Marvel’s president of production, Kevin Feige recently spoke to Movies.com, about James Spader’s performance in Avengers 2: Age of Ultron:
"Our bad guy is great. I think people are going to 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."
During a recent interview with Empire, Avengers writer/director, Joss Whedon offered a little insight into the new movie’s villain:
"I'm having a blast with Ultron. He's not a creature of logic--he's a robot who's genuinely disturbed. We're finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is."
Wheldon also commented on the new movies extended cast by throwing a little shade on Tom Hiddleston’s Loki:
"I fiercely dislike the idea of just throwing in more people for the sake of doing that. But last time I had all of Earth's Mightiest Heroes versus one British character actor, and I needed more conflict."
What do you think about the way that the new movie is shaping up? Will James Spader make a better villain than Tom Hiddleston’s Loki? Let us know in what you think in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
