There haven't exactly been rumours that Clark Gregg will be brought back as The Vision in a future Marvel movie, although you would be forgiven for thinking so after the huge amount of fan speculation which has surrounded the idea. Even Joe Quesada recently dismissed the idea when asked what he thought of bringing back Coulson as the Android at the Kapow! Comic Convention in London two weeks ago. Fans have also been divided, but the actor himself has now spoken out about the theory.
"Vision is cool," Clark Gregg told
MTV Splash Page when asked for his thoughts on the idea.
"But I would hate to be any AI life form. If I got to come back, I would need to still be somebody who could wisecrack, because my favorite part of the job was that if anybody was going to tease anybody about their diva superhero outfit or whatever, it would be me."
"I really love what Joss did with Agent Coulson in 'The Avengers,'" he said when talk turned to his shocking and emotional death at the hands of Loki on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
"It seems like an idea that was in the cards, not only from Joss but from Marvel, in that you needed to ground the movie in some real emotion and stakes. I loved playing that guy, and I'll miss playing him, but I was glad to have that job."
