The evil robot Ultron has find the filthy human meatbag who will partake in his nefarious spotlight in the Avengers movie subsequence : Baron Von Strucker , another demode - national socialist bad guy of Captain America ’s friend , who will be played by German actor Thomas Kretschmann , of Dracula , King Kong and Valkyrie fame .
Von Strucker is a major Hydra drawing card , the evil organisation of Nazi mad scientist contribute by the Red Skull in Captain America : The First Avenger , so you may easily see the appeal of using the villain to help join the Marvel movie - poetry even further . And with Hydra ’s love of malevolent engineering , it ’s also quite well-off to envision how the malefic robot Ultron could be make , whether they do it on their own or repurpose some technical school of Tony Stark ’s — although now that Michael Douglass has been cast as Hank Pym in Ant - Man , it ’s technically possible he will be the one to make Ultron in the movies , just as the character did in the comics .
As for Kreutschmann , his less - than - cheery demeanor and German accent should serve Von Strucker well . He ’s already played a Nazi in Valkyrie , and he ’s sure done a great problem at play the not - at - all grand or peculiarly sane Van Helsing in NBC ’s crazy - ass Dracula series , so I suppose this is another bit of range Marvel just nailed .
One more thinking : Now that Hydra ’s seemingly definitely involved in Age of Ultron , I think we can say that they ’re perish to be the ones at long last responsible for create Ultron . Pym or Stark could make a benign AI of some sort , but chances are Hydra ’s going to get its hands on it and then twist it into the genocidal ‘ bot the Avengers know and reverence . Which is fine , but one of Ultron ’s most interesting aspects is that he was created by one of the factual Avengers — it gives his character a pathos that very few other of their villains have . It ’d be a pity to lose that in the movie , I think .
