Actor Andy Serkis has been signed on to Avengers:Age of Ultron.
Serkis's name may not be well known, but his movements are. On Serkis’s IMDB it can be seen that Serkis has played many versatile roles: an ape, a giant gorilla, and Gollum from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He has played such vast roles due to his expertise of movement.
It is currently unclear what character Serkis will be playing in Avengers 2 and if it will be just his movements or if he will be taking on a more human role.
Serkis told Variety in an interview that he is unable to share who or what he will be playing.
“I’m not at liberty to mention,” said Serkis. “But it’s all the same to me. I’ve never drawn a distinction when playing a role, whether it be live action or performance capture. Acting is acting. It’s just basically what you wear to the set that’s different.”
Serkis’s film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes comes out July 11, 2014. Serkis also has an unknown role in Star Wars: Episode VII.
