Ever since the first Avengers:Age of Ultron trailer debuted speculation has been running rampant about the unspecified role played by Andy Serkis. When rumors surfaced that Black Panther could make an appearance, the popular theory was that Serkis would play his nemesis Ulysses Klaw. Now a new rumor from Schmoes Know backs that up, while the site also has word on a female Avenger who could turn up in a major role.
The site's trusted source says that Serkis would play a sort of combination of Klaw and his father, Fritz Klaue. Klaw is obsessed with the rare sound - absorbing metal Vibranium which can only be found in the Panther's nation of Wakanda. He eventually becomes a costumed villain made of pure sound. It's possible Fritz could only be mentioned in passing rather than appear on screen, but it sounds like either way we'll be seeing Klaw, likely as a setup to a future Black Panther film with Chadwick Boseman.
Plus it's possible the incredibly convoluted female Avenger, Mantis, could have a role in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Schmoes Know, who seem to be speculating a great deal on this one, claim the character could show up because of her ties to Scarlet Witch, Vision, and The Guardians of the Galaxy, which is all true but the same could be said for others. Mantis was a young girl who was trained to be an assassin by the Priests of Pama, a small sect of the alien Kree. She was also believed to be the Celestial Madonna, but after having her mind wiped she goes out to experience the world and becomes an Avenger. She fell in love with the Vision at one point, and has used her marital arts and telepathic abilities to battle Thanos, the big-bad of the Marvel cinematic universe.
Mantis is a relatively minor character and its doubtful Marvel would bother including her in any major way when there are so many others who would fit in better and carry less baggage. But you never know. Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1st 2015.
