The main foe of Avengers: Age Of Ultron is - as the title suggests - Ultron himself. James Spader has been chatting about what to expect...

The first trailer for Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age Of Ultron, that landed earlier in the week, gave us the first proper look at the character of Ultron himself.

James Spader is taking the role on for Marvel, and he's been chatting about to Total Film. "There's a humorous aspect to him," he told the magazine, adding that "in many ways he's a child, this character, because he's a brand new being who's just come to be."

A very powerful being though, and Spader has cautioned that his character proves quite a challenge for the assorted Avengers. "Ultron takes abrupt turns in scenes. Red [Reddington, Spader's Blacklistcharacter] isn't psychopathic but Ultra is. Yes, he is psychopathic. He's really batshit crazy."

Now two things about that. We've used the phrase ourselves in the past, but still, why is he batshit crazy? Secondly, we've got our thoughts on Ultron and the Avengers: Age Of Ultron trailer right here.

Spader, who also describes Joss Whedon's directions as "very precise," is also currently starring in The Blacklist, of course. And you can read more over at Total Film, here.
