Marvel Has Confirmed Andy Serkis Is 'Ulysses Klaw' In AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
It was previously speculated and then reported to be so, but now Marvel/Disney has officially revealed that Andy Serkis is playing one of Black Panther's archenemies in The Avengers sequel. Check it out!
In addition to watermark-less, ultra high-resolution copies of the sixteen production images that were released from Avengers: Age of Ultron yesterday, Marvel/Disney has provided Stitch Kingdom with official captions that evidently describe who's who. Well, given that Andy Serkis is featured in one of those sixteen stills, it's confirmed that the motion-capture performance expert will be playing none of other than Ulysses Klaw in the highly-anticipated Marvel sequel and beyond...
Despite this solid confirmation, it was previously speculated and then reported that Andy Serkis' mystery Age of Ultron character would be Ulysses Klaw, who is a Dutch scientist in the comics that becomes an arch enemy to Black Panther and equipped with a gun on his arm that turns sound into images. It's likely the supervillain is being established in Joss Whedon's Marvel sequel to later return in the Black Panther movie, which is currently scheduled for release on November 3, 2017, and starring Chadwick Boseman in the titular role. Perhaps, Serkis could somehow reprise the role in Capain America: Civil War, in which Boseman will debut as the Wakandian on May 6, 2016. Anyhow, check out the Age of Ultron stills below, and in ultra high-quality here! What do you think?
