Avengers: Age of Ultron news has surfaced regarding Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker's confirmed participation in the film, and director Joss Whedon has some interesting things to say about Ultron. So Marvel fans get ready to be hyped, because here's the latest scoop.
We last saw Baron Strucker (Thomas Kretschman) in the end credits of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, leading the newly formed HYDRA. In the end credits, he obtained Loki's staff in the first Avengers movie, and captured both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. So how does Baron Strucker fit in to all of this? Well he did captured the super powered twins for a reason, and he would likely set them loose as his personal weapons against the Avengers, and everyone else that stands in HYDRA's goal of world domination.
As for Ultron, director Joss Whedon talks about what kind of personality will Ultron have in the Age of Ultron. We all know in the comics that Ultron is a logically twisted machine, who wants nothing more than the destruction of humanity itself as his way of "saving" it. He was considered a very dangerous enemy of the Avengers, and in the past comic issues, Ultron took over the world in the Age of Ultron series,which makes it a perfect fit for the sequel's title.
In an interview with Empire, Joss Whedon described Ultron and he stated that.
"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."
James Spader provides the motion capture, and voice work of the character. So what can we expect from the two villains? Will they team-up to take down the Avengers, or one of them wil turn on each other, and do the deed themselves. Either way it's going to be awesome!
So Marvel fans, what do you think?
