The Emmy-winning actor will reprise his role as the voice of the main villain in 2015’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Variety reported.
Hollywood star Paul Bettany is reprising his role as Vision in the untitled series which is a follow-up to its acclaimed “WandaVision” show.
In the Marvel universe, Vision is an android who was created using mind stone in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and later fell in love with the Scarlett Witch.
“Infinity War” saw the android destroyed by supervillain Thanos and was later rebuilt by Scarlet Witch in the ‘WandaVision,’ using magic and the power of grief.
James Spader first voiced Ultron in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’. The movie’s ending saw Vision destroying the villain, so it is unclear how he would return and what kind of relationship he would have with Vision.
