The title villain of Avengers: Age of Ultron is on Joss Whedon's mind right now, and it's not quite what you expect.
As Avengers: Age of Ultron is now properly filming, with the entire cast in place and actual news starting to develop, things may get a bit frantic as we try and separate what is worth reporting from what isn't. But it's refreshing when the film's honcho, in this case, Joss Whedon, actually has something substantial to say about the film's main villain.
"I'm having a blast with Ultron," Whedon told Empire. "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."
That's a relief. It's good to see that James Spader will have something to sink his teeth into as Ultron, especially since he's following up the impossibly popular Tom Hiddleston as Loki. I do have to wonder just how much of Ultron's actual evolution we'll see. Loki had the benefit of arriving in Avengersmore fully-formed.
