Paul Bettany Promises 'Roof-Raising' Moment For 'The Vision' In AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
Promising certain characteristics of J.A.R.V.I.S. will still be present when he becomes The Vision, Paul Bettany also teases an "extraordinary" way the character will earn the Avengers' trust!
When Comic Book Resources took part in Paul Bettany's roundtable interview at last month's San Diego Comic-Con, the site quoted the British actor on more details about his role as The Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and how it evolves from voicing Tony Stark's artificial intelligence J.A.R.V.I.S. When asked if he'll miss the sassiness of voice character, Bettany replied, "I wouldn't say I missed it because I don't think that it entirely went away." He continued, "You'll see. And as he is born and becomes more realized, it's hard to be ironic when you're -- I know what you're talking about because there's a sort of irony and knowing with J.A.R.V.I.S., but it's hard to be -- I mean, babies aren't particularly ironic. But he's somebody who is learning about the world at quite an exponential rate, and he becomes more sassy as the movie continues." The actor was then asked how will Earth's mighties heroes feel having The Vision around, to which Bettany promises a crowd-pleasing scene in Age of Ultron. "Incredibly jealous!" he joked. "It's just been, like I said, a really lovely working experience. I think there's a lot of, initially in the plot, as it were, a lot of distrust, and that has to be navigated by The Vision, and he does it in a quite extraordinarily shocking way. He gains their trust in a real -- it will be -- it's a real roof-raiser of a moment. Everybody will flip." Until we get an official look at Bettany as The Vision, who is created by Ultron in the movie to prove that he, too, can create life, take a closer look at the character's backside which was released with the Age of Ultron conceptual art for Comic-Con.
