Who is Andy Serkis Playing in 'Age of Ultron'?

Serkis

The internet exploded a couple days ago when the official trailer for the upcoming "Avengers: Age of Ultron" came out and now people are analyzing each and every frame of the said trailer.

Some of the footage in the trailer have caused quite a stir, especially the bit where we can see Andy Serkis but we're not quite sure which character he is playing. Serkis, who portrayed "Gollum" in the "Lord of The Rings" pops up in the Avengers trailer for a few seconds appearing with a scruffy beard, then we no longer see him in any other frames in the trailer.

Currently and in theory, Serkis is said to be portraying Ulysses Klaw, who is an adversary of the Black Panther, prince of the African nation of Wakanda. However, this theory is only based on the fact that the actor looks similar to the said Marvel character.

Rumors of a Black Panther movie have been rampant on the Internet but we have yet to hear Marvel confirm that a movie is in the works, although some hints have already been dropped in past Marvel movies. In addition, a part of the Age of Ultron is based in Africa, which can possibly bring the Avengers to have contact with Klaw or the Black Panther himself. 

Finally, the trailer for the upcoming Avengers movie shows Captain America's shield shattered on the ground, which is a possible sign of Actor Chris Evans' departure from the Marvel World.  

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" will hit the big screen in April 2015.
