Fans who are eagerly anticipating the massive superhero sequel The Avengers: Age of Ultron aka The Avengers 2 in 2015 already know that the murderous robot Ultron will be the main antagonist in the film. But a new report indicates that Joss Whedon and company could introduce another bad guy into the mix.

[WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW]

Latino Review, a site that routinely delivers solid spoilers and information about upcoming movies, reports that "a breakdown is currently circulating in Hollywood where Marvel is looking for a PHYSICALLY IMPOSING MAN, age range 40-50, Caucasian, for a supporting role." That role, according to the site, is for Baron Van Strucker.

For those unfamiliar with the comics, Von Strucker is a super villain, a former Nazi and a leader of HYDRA, the organization that antagonizes both S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Avengers (fans might remember HYDRA from Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011). He is ageless and continually comes back from the dead.

Latino Review also reports that Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) work for Baron von Strucker in Age of Ultron, which would likely explain how the film introduces them. The site also notes that they would likely work for HYDRA instead of the Masters of Evil because Captain America already introduced HYDRA into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Finally, Latino Review reveals that Marvel has shown interest in Marton Csokas and Dougray Scott for the role. This does not mean, however, that they will appear in the movie or that they have received offers from Marvel.
