Quicksilver is great. He's a complete and total dick because all he wants to do is go 700 miles per hour at all times and everyone he knows mooooooooooooves sooooooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow. I remember one line in an old comic where he described his life as being eternally in the slowest line of the DMV.

The bulk of his portrayal attributes his being a dick directly to his issues with Magneto, culminating ultimately in House of M where he uses his own sister to give his daddy the gift of power.

It seems that different movie studios have rights to certain characters and concepts. I recall earlier versions of Ultron being built of adamantium, is that still the case with Age of Ultron? Does Fox own the rights to adamantium and the word "mutants"? If Marvel is not going to have Hank Pym be the creator, I guess they change the material to vibranium, which does exist in the Marvel Studios Avengers universe. Then what about Quicksilver? Would he still be a mutant?[DOUBLEPOST=1375396506][/DOUBLEPOST]

I desperately want to hear something about Runaways. The movie was supposed to come out in 2012 and I don't think they've ever officially come out and said it's been canned. Some news would be good, especially considering it's one of the few Marvel properties that didn't get terrible. It got weird, but not terrible.

Yeah, its weird to use someone so visually recognizeable for a voice role.. I saw your mention of Tom Kane on the previous page, would have been interestign. In fairness to Spader though, he doesn't have a bad voice. I never realized that until his stint on The Office. If he does a "Robert California" Ultron, that could be sseriously creepy.

Well, I knew Tom Kane wouldn't be voicing him as they don't cast voice actors in big movies. I guess, like with Affleck, I'll just wait and see. He doesn't have a terrible voice and obviously he did enough to win over the casting director. It's not like he's needed to add "star power" to the role since they've already got like 12 billion big name actors.

More often than not the real make or break killer of one of these things isn't so much the actor, but the writing/directing. The discussion of Dr Doom on the previous page for instance. That was all writing/directing really. The actor is the only thing that will make a really good movie a great movie, but they are rarely what makes a movie bad.

edit: Not saying it isn't interesting who plays one of thse iconic characters.

Of course there could be so much modulation on his voice that he'll barely be recognizable, like Hugo Weaving in the Transformers movies.

Perhaps this is a sign that Ultron will be more of a freak than you would normally expect for a main stream movie

This news does not bother me at all. Spader can provide a good deal of menace with his voice and from the FX of the first one, I am sure Ultron will look really cool. I have confidence that Whedon knows what he is doing.

There's no definite source, but there are rumors that Jarvis (Paul Bettany), in an attempt to hack Ultron, needs to make physical contact.

Vision, baby.

I like Spader as Ultron. I take it as a sign that Ultron will be a corrupted version of Jarvis that takes over the Stark armour. Only because I am imagining Spader voice as a Bettanys voice going menacing instead of sarcastic.

Is Elisabeth Olson really going to be Scarlet Witch? That would make her quiet young.

Y'know what I just realized? That movie poster isn't real, it's a deviant art picture.[DOUBLEPOST=1377913269,1377912915][/DOUBLEPOST]I don't see how people can think James Spader isn't perfect. An emotionless evil douchebag intent on destroying humanity. That's pretty much almost every role he's ever played.

Here it is again (at least I think, never saw the other one above), better quality. Looks like my theory that Tony Stark was going to end up being the creator of Ultron while attempting to make a AI to control his suit it pretty much a confirmed reality.

Psh! Speak for yourself. Now, could you pass me that screwdriver? I need a hand putting together this cryogenic chamber.

Yeah, and then the next thing you know there's this guy in a lab coat and a dramatic voice, going "Welcome to the world of TOMORROW!"

He would be greeted by Walt Disney when he comes out of the chamber?

Just made me think about the promotional videos for EPCOT when they started the early ideas for that park.
