Check it out!

James Spader and Paul Bettany Avengers: Age of Ultron Interviews For The Avengers, their eyes and ears all become fixated on Ultron when he crashes their soiree at Avengers Tower. While the character at first is a heap of scrap metal and throwaway parts, the filmmakers needed a dynamic actor who could infuse the robotic villain with a freshness that hasn’t been seen before on the big screen.

He’s so unique and ...

I'm sure some people have an absolute grasp of where they are in their careers. I just don't think about it that much. For a while, I stopped enjoying making movies and I stopped enjoying acting, because I made a few decisions that I wish I hadn't made. Yeah, I love history and I loved it as a kid.

I was born a Catholic and now I'm a lapsed Catholic. I'm something but I'm not a believer any more. The difficulty of looking at a system like natural selection if you have any sort of moral sense yourself, is almost what makes it beautiful.

It's weird, because usually if you're British and you go to America you play baddies; but I play naughty people here and goodies in America.
