Learn more about the behind-the-scenes process of realizing the maniacal Ultron for the big screen in the first of two new featurettes forMarvel’sAvengers: Age of Ultron, arriving on 3D Digital andDigital HDSeptember 8 and onBlu-ray,DVD, Digital SD and VOD October 2. StarsRobert Downey Jr.,Chris EvansandMark Ruffalodiscuss what it was like working withJames Spader, while we get to see behind-the-scenes footage of the actor in his motion-capture suit. We also hear fromAndy Serkis, who not only played Ulysses Klaue in the superhero sequel, but he also served as a consultant for the motion-capture work.
The secondAvengers: Age of Ultronpreview features more behind-the-scenes footage ofJames Spaderas Ultron, but his motion-capture outfit is just a bit different this time. Later on in the film, Ultron evolves and becomes a much bigger machine, so to compensate for the size difference, the actor had a large pole mounted to his outfit, which had red dots that represented his eyes.Elizabeth Olsen(Scarlet Witch) explains that it was irritating because she had to look at those fake eyes a few feet aboveJames Spader’s head, when she really wanted to watch his performance. We also hear from producerKevin Feigeand directorJoss Whedon, who explain why they wanted to bring in both Scarlet Witch and her brotherQuicksilver(Aaron Taylor-Johnson) into this story. If that wasn’t enough, we also have a third featurette that showcasesPaul Bettany’s Vision, with the actor taking us through the extensive makeup process.
