He does have some genre experience, though, from his turn in Stargate with Kurt Russel. I am not sure how I feel about this casting. I like Spader as an actor, but his dickish sort of demeanor and intelligence reminds me more of Brainiac than Ultron. Perhaps Ultron will be more "cold machine" than "cackling lunatic" like he often is in the comics?
