It was first reported back in March that Claudia Kim (also Kim Soo Hyun) had been handpicked by writer/director Joss Whedon for a "substantial" supporting role somewhere in the much-anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron. And the Korean actress had even revealed that she'd be playing a doctor/scientist and an old friend of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. Regarding her character's identity, should it be from Marvel Comics, speculation has run rampant especially after Kim was seen in the Age of Ultron trailer hanging out with Earth's mightiest heroes during their downtime. Well, the mystery is no more as Disney confirms (via Collider) that she is Dr. Cho.

It may not be a huge reveal, but at least we now know Claudia Kim is not playing a major character from the comics... or do we? Disney failed to offer Dr. Cho's first name in the caption of the new Avengers: Age of Ultron image released yesterday (below), but there is one notable character from the Marvel lore that shares that surname. Amadeus Cho has appeared mostly as a supporting character in comics featuring the Avengers, especially Hulk and Hercules. However, given he's male, and is often portrayed as a teen prodigy, the common surname may just be a coincidence as opposed to a direct reference to that Marvel character; maybe. Anyhow, we still don't know exactly how "substantial" Claudia Kim's Dr. Cho role will be, but it now seems likely that she's one of the four prominent female roles that Joss Whedon referred to back in July. Plus, it was previously reported that Claudia Kim would take part in the action once the villainous Ultron and his big plan to wipe out humanity takes to South Korea in Avengers: Age of Ultron. What do you think? 



Marvel Studios presents Avengers: Age of Ultron, the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure. Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Avengers: Age of Ultron May 1, 2015.

They're only doing this to get higher box office in asia. Really lame.

Also, stop retconning Stark's past by inserting "old friends" to serve the story.

Calling it now. She's going to be some re-imagined version of Amadeus. Either way, she's absolutely breath-taking. And I can't wait to watch her outwit the psychotic robot. Or just generally be attractive.
