Finally got the chance to watch this last week. Loved it.

So many moments when I went, F yes! for example when Captain America and Loki were fighting in the courtyard and Iron Man came in with his song. Awesome.

Inspired casting choice, love James Spader.

Good news for James Spader – the quirky character actor is coming back in a big way as one of Marvel's ultimate villains.

Spader has just landed the title role in "The Avengers 2: The Age of Ultron," the upcoming sequel to 2012's record-setting superhero jamboree.

Ultron is an evil robot that can travel through time and uses his talents to change the present so he can have the upper hand in the future.

But, departing from the comic, writer-director Joss Whedon plans to strip some of Ultron's powers for the upcoming film. "I knew right away what I wanted to do with him," Whedon recently told Entertainment Weekly. "He's always trying to destroy the Avengers, godd--- it, he’s got a bee in his bonnet. He's not a happy guy, which means he’s an interesting guy. He’s got pain. And the way that manifests is not going to be standard robot stuff. So we’ll take away some of those powers because at some point everybody becomes magic."

Spader's Ultron will be making trouble for Marvel's costumed heroes in the movie, including Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. However, since Ultron is entirely mechanical, it remains to be seen if Spader will be on set in a suit, interacting with his fellow cast members, or if he'll be providing the voice for a CGI creation. So far, Marvel and Disney haven't weighed in on the matter.

One of the things Whedon does best is limiting heroes in a believable way.

Thats always been the biggest issue when you have heroes that are basically Gods and can do anything and cant be killed, etc. Whedon has a very good understanding of that.

Wow Spader and Downey Jr. in the same movie? They better watch those two like a hawk 24/7 just to make sure they don't fall back into their old habits. Great casting though, Spader was great in Lincoln recently.
