Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) – Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis) [Source] Here’s one more piece of exciting Black Panther news! Andy Serkis just confirmed he’s playing Ulysses Klaue. Ever since his appearance in the first Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer fans have been guessing Andy Serkis’ character is Ulysses Klaw, a long-time Avengers and Black Panther villain.

Idris Elba Will Idris Elba play a Klingon in Star Trek 3? On the podcast this week, we talked about the rumored casting of Idris Elba as the villain in the next Star Trek movie.

Absolute Radio caught up with him and talked about the pressure of writing it and he talked about it, saying, “It’s enormous pressure. I’m barely able to speak right now, I’m…

Solar Eclipse from ISS (Image Credit: ESA/NASA) Expedition 43 Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti took a series of photographs of the March 20, 2015 solar eclipse from the International Space Station.
