Andy Serkis plays Ulysses Klaw in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'?

LOS ANGELES: Actor Andy Serkis is reportedly starring as villain Dutch physicist Ulysses Klaw in 'The Avengers' sequel.

Klaw is the villain in 'Avengers' story as well as 'Black Panther' as he murders Wakandan leader T'Chaka, the father of T'Challa aka Black Panther, reported Aceshowbiz.

The 50-year-old actor's version of Klaw will apparently be a sort of amalgamation of both Klaw and his father in the comics, Fritz Klaue, who has a history in the comics with characters Baron von Strucker and The Howling Commandos.

' Avengers: Age of Ultron' is set for release on May 1 in the US.

Directed by Joss Whedon, the highly-anticipated movie will see the return of the original cast members as well as new faces including Paul Bettany, Aaron Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen.
